Amara Gift Set
Powdery, warm and easy to like: Aire de Sevilla Amara Gift Set is the presentation box version of the scent, which makes it a simple present to buy.
The set pairs the 100ml Eau de Toilette with a 100ml shower gel and a 100ml moisturizer. The composition leads on heliotrope, a material that smells powdery and softly sweet with a faint dustiness to it, and that softness is what the fragrance is remembered for. Bitter orange gives the opening a sharp peel lift to set against it, and then ylang ylang arrives, rich and creamy and faintly tropical, with orchid rounding it out into something smooth and full.
Underneath, the warmth comes in four stages. Benzoin brings a balsamic resin with a sweet smokiness, vanilla softens, sandalwood adds a dry creaminess, and musk holds the whole thing close to the skin. Eight materials in all, and none of them is sharp enough to divide opinion, which is exactly the quality you want in a fragrance you are buying on somebody else's behalf. As a gift this suits an older recipient or anyone who likes the powdery style, and it works particularly well for a mother or a grandmother who would never think of spending the money on herself. The box removes the need for wrapping paper, and the scent inside is gentle enough that nobody will find it too strong at close quarters. Expect a few hours of soft presence from each application rather than a trail behind you.
Instituto Espanol S.A. makes the range. It is a Spanish perfumery and cosmetics company founded in 1903, still family owned into a third generation, manufacturing at Hinojos in Huelva province and proudly Andalusian in its own description. Its catalogue runs from colognes and shower gels to creams, deodorants and oils.
