The Scoop

Black Amber by Zara captures the warm amber and vanilla base of The One but misses much of the fruity and floral complexity that defines the original. The clone skews heavier on amber in the heart, creating a more straightforward gourmand fragrance rather than the balanced fruity-floral composition of D&G's original. Longevity and sillage are noticeably reduced compared to the designer version.

Key Differences

The clone simplifies the fruity top notes (losing peach and litchi) and sacrifices the prominent floral heart (lily, jasmine, lily-of-the-valley) in favor of amber prominence. Black Amber has shorter longevity and weaker projection than the original.

What wearers say

“This is supposed to be a dupe for The one by Dolce and Gabbana. Honestly, they do smell similar on paper but on the skin this is much more soar and pungent. The citrus notes are not just in the head but stay forever. The performances are very poor, you must stick your nose to detect it after 30 minutes and no sillage. I started using it as deodorant since too weak. It is ok for the price but I would not buy it again.”

“I got the edt ver of this along with the red vanilla one. And I’m trying to to think why this scent was so familiar. Then it hit me, it smells like those Trolli banana candy gummies (which doesn’t really smell like bananas tbh) It smells yummy on my skin, lasted around 4-6 hours on my wrist. Not bad for an edt, deffo better performance compared to the Red Vanilla bottle that came with it. It doesn’t project much, you really gotta sniff it closely. So umm… it’s a sexy intimate scent.Would I repurchase? Yup. But I’ll probably get the edp ver of this one.”

“To me it smells like a sweet, fruity shampoo. Clean yet warm and feminine. I got a mini in a discovery set and I'll use it but probably wouldn't buy a full size. On a shampoo it would be a really nice, inoffensive scent but I expect more from a perfume and this is just a "like". Doesn't smell straight up cheap or anything but don't expect anything sophisticated. I see myself wearing it on chilly afternoons in casual settings. Sillage and longevity match the price.”
