Into the Wood - Number 1: Nobody Knows Zara

Encouraged by numerous opinions that Nobody Knows is very similar to Ebony Wood and the promotional price at Zara, I decided to check it out and bought this perfume.
Well, let me tell you right away that I feel almost no resemblance to Ebony Wood. Even if there is some slight association with ebony wood in both perfumes, in my opinion the similarity is very distant and only at a later stage, it is certainly not a substitute, especially for a guy.
Ebony Wood is full of spices and strong clove, and leans more towards the masculine side.
In turn, in Nobody Knows there are almost no spices, I can clearly feel the tartness of blackcurrant leaves, slightly peppered and not too strong rose, and only further in the background I can feel the characteristic woody and warm atmosphere of ebony wood, but it is a different scent than Ebony Wood. The scents are a bit closer to each other in the base, but Nobody Knows does not have the expressiveness of Ebony Wood, the base is much more delicate.
Nobody Knows is fruitier, tart, much fresher and greener, although still quite heavy and although it can be considered unisex, it veers definitely towards the feminine side.
As a man, I had great reservations about wearing this fragrance and gave it to my mother. They fit a woman better.
The parameters are very decent, I could feel them clearly for 6-7 hours, the projection was quite good at first, but after an hour it was delicate.
If you're a guy, don't expect Nobody Knows to give you similar vibes to Ebony Wood.
It's a good perfume, but I recommend it mainly to women who like woody, tart, fruity and green scents. Rather for spring and warm autumn.

Edit:
After giving Nobody Knows to my mother and feeling it on her, the resemblance to Ebony Wood is nonetheless striking. I felt this scent a bit differently on myself... but I will probably repeat the tests.

I had never tried a Zara perfume and don't have a store near me, but kept reading about how some of their many fleeting offerings are quite good. I noticed 100ml Nobody Knows on clearance for $12.99 and was intrigued by the notes and a few reviews stating that it smelled like Gris Charnel. So, I blind bought, thinking it costs less than a burger and fries, so no big risk. The bottle is not much to look at and the atomizer feels alarmingly wobbly and flimsy, but it sprays without dribbling so far. I applied to my wrists to give it a go and the opening was not great. There was a rotten fruit note that jumped up immediately, nestled in with some garden green leaves and black pepper. It is a cacophonous introduction, like someone who has clearly not showered this morning or brushed their hair stumbling into work spilling items out of their bag and smelling of elderberry cough drops. I thought to myself "oh, no," wondering if I'm going to have to scrub this one off. I carried on with a few tasks for about 20 minutes, thankfully only catching slight whiffs now and again. I stopped to sniff again and, lo and behold, she has combed her hair and brushed her teeth! The fruit note is nearly gone, replaced by a creamy, coconutty wood, and cardamom. I sniff and sniff again and, though I wouldn't call it a twin, I can smell the comparison to Gris Charnel. It is softer, less dynamic, and sweeter, but it is there. I would almost call it a cousin of both Gris Charnel and Crystal Noir. I will be curious to see how this one performs in warmer weather. For the price, I think this is a pretty good one. Just be patient in the first few minutes and let her get herself together.

Since I already own Ebony Wood by Zara and really like it, I was immediately curious when I discovered Nobody Knows at Zara the other day. Because this one is also said to contain ebony. So I tested it right away. And yes, I immediately smelled a similarity to Ebony Wood. The same wood accord that I like so much. Nobody Knows starts off very pleasantly sweet-sour-currant-like, but the wood is already perceptible. The rose is also well recognizable and fits, in my opinion, very well with the other notes. The fragrance smells harmonious and significantly more expensive than it is. Zara releases a lot of generic and boring scents, but they also manage to create great compositions that can definitely compete with niche fragrances. This one is one of them. This special "Zara ebony note" is something you either like or you don't. I like it. Nobody Knows has fully developed after at most 30 minutes. The woody, very slightly smoky accord now dominates the EdP, and the pepper adds a nice kick. However, the rose can still be faintly smelled until the end, while the delicious currant has pretty much said goodbye quite quickly. For me, a very successful fragrance that, of course, got to come home with me.
