Black Edition by Zara
For Him Black Edition by Zara

For Him Black Edition by Zara is a woody aromatic fragrance for men released in 2016 by the attire and accessories company Zara.

It's an obscure and seductive fragrance that opens up citric and maintains this accord during its life span, however this citrus are wrapped up in mysterious and dark woodsy and spicy notes from cedar, nutmeg and Sandalwood. The cardamom also gives it a kind of creaminess and sweetness that grant this fragrance a consistent structure.

With an involving aura and above average performance this might be one of the best Zara's creations ever and we can find some resemblances to fragrances like La Nuit de L'Homme by Yves Saint Laurent, Versace Eros or CH by Carolina Herrera.

Perfect for autumn and winter days it is still one of the fragrances permanently available at Zara's stores and a solid scent from the brand.

Projects well for the first 2 to 3 hours with a performance that can come close to the 10 hour mark on skin, the scent sticks to your clothes like glue and during its use you will get strong and regular whiffs of it.

Top: Cardamome, Pink Grapefruit
Middle: Nutmeg, Orange Blossom
Base: Cedar, Sandalwood

Sporty Fresh
I smelled the fragrance directly in a Zara store and immediately thought this would be my new sport scent, which is why I bought it right away. As for the scent itself, I can say that you can immediately feel the pink grapefruit and orange blossom at the opening, and then in the dry down, cardamom and woody notes come through.
The longevity is what unfortunately prevents me from using the fragrance often, as it is really not optimal and requires frequent reapplication.
For the price, you can't go wrong with the scent, but I wouldn't say it's a must-have. I wouldn't buy it again.

It starts balmy like a fall evening breeze, rich of zesty and balsamic notes, the heart is delicate as sweet flowers, and the tail is creamy

With better availability and a higher price, it would be a hype candidate. Great stuff.

For me, the scent is more citrusy-woody. Very nice, if only Zara had better longevity…

Woody for Him - but not really dark. Citrusy wood to sum it all up. A bit of sweetness from orange blossom.

A bit of sweetness, a bit of depth, and dark undertones. Somehow too generic, it didn't really convince me.

A solid, sporty scent. Citrusy, pleasant, nice. But unfortunately, in my eyes, nothing special-

(For example) For dads between DIY workshop and over-30 party ;) surprisingly straightforward for Zara standards - how should I put it - unpretentious.
