Zafiro Femme
Alvarez Gómez Zafiro Femme Eau de Parfum Gift Set is the simplest kind of present to buy, because the fragrance in it is the simplest kind of fragrance: three materials, no complications and nothing anybody is likely to take against.
Bergamot and blackcurrant make up the bright half of it. The bergamot is a clean citrus with a floral edge to it, softer and far less sour than most, and the blackcurrant beside it is tart and slightly green with a metallic bite that keeps the fruit from going sweet or sticky. Opened in front of somebody, it reads immediately as cheerful, which is a useful quality in a present that has to make its case in the first few seconds. Jasmine is the other half, and it is what gives the set its grown up finish. Rich, warm and a shade indolic, it sits beneath the fruit and turns it into a perfume rather than merely a pleasant smell, and it is still sitting there on the skin long after the bergamot and the blackcurrant above it have gone quiet.
That makes this a sensible gift for somebody who does not wear fragrance often and would be quietly defeated by anything more complicated than this, and an equally sensible one for a teenager, or for anybody being given their first proper bottle of perfume rather than a body spray. Spring and summer suit it, it works in daylight and in an office, and it is light enough that it will never be overbearing in a shared room or a small car.
The house behind it is Spanish and has been family owned since 1899, the year three young men from León, who had come to Madrid for the aroma trade, opened a shop at Calle Sevilla 2 in the city.
