Black? Yes, where?
During my shopping tour today, I also found my way to Zara and stumbled upon their small selection of perfumes...
My gaze immediately landed on a small, simple bottle (by the way, not the one pictured above; the fragrance is also available in a transparent, small, elongated, narrow bottle). Quite appealing in itself with classic charm.
Oh... Was there something? Amber? And then also Black?
My interest was piqued. So I sprayed it directly on my forearm.
I expected something dark, heavy, perhaps in the direction of the Prada Amber fragrances. But I was mistaken...
On my skin, it immediately developed into an artificial sweet fruit bomb.
I could hardly concentrate on my shopping hunt as the plastic fruits were hitting me around the ears!
If we were to consider only the sillage neutrally, I would place it in the middle range.
I couldn't pick out any individual notes. I found the half hour I endured with this fragrance very exhausting and was glad when I could wash it off my arm at the next best opportunity.
What remained was indeed a hint of amber with a touch of powdery vanilla...
But "Black" was not even this last remaining hint of fragrance for me.
Too bad Zara, the name unfortunately does not live up to its promise.

Why Black, huh? I asked myself that today too; it smelled a lot like gummy bears to me. I actually found it quite nice and a bit special, but it didn't last long.
