Reminds a kind of formal dress code like a tuxedo
ZARA Minimal Black, a name that reminds a kind of formal dress code like a tuxedo... and it does! As reported in the fragrance notes, ain't no citrus in the opening, instead of few mild spices and a tad of aromatic herbs. It's not as spicy as most of the masculine scents, but smooth and gentle. Here the dominant note is the apple, the green one type I would hazard. Let the smell melt with your skin, and you will find how similar to Hugo Boss Bottled this fragrance is. yeah, they share the same vibe.

The heart starts beating after a while with white flowers, a delicate and tender orange blossom, a soft touch of cinnamon, and the unmistakable fruitiness of the peach. The beat goes on for an hour and more.

Then comes the soul, with the unique creaminess of the sandalwood and the sweetness of the amber woods,
both in contrast with the earthy vetiver and mossy white musk. From now on, the scent remains stable, the trail is comfortable, calming,

There is a powdery aspect to this fragrance that tends to develop more towards the dry down. Hey men, do not fear, it's a masculine powderiness, nothing like sweet, flowery baby powder or anything like that, and ain't to do with the make-up smell of iris and orris.

The longevity and the projection are gorgeous, which is a bonus, of course. I recommend this fragrance for both formal and informal wear, office safe, perfect for chilly weather like early spring and late fall seasons, and to those fashion-conscious men.

It seems this scent is discontinued or difficult to find. I recommend you blindly buy it if you had a chance, it is worthy if you are a fan of HBB.

Although it is really similar to HB Bottled, the scent per se is awesome, high quality, strong sillage and great longevity. Well done ZARA!
