Twilight, a piazza in Rome. She stands before me, the woman in the black dress. Red lips, flowing hair. I approach her, a kiss on the right, a kiss on the left. Her eyes sparkle and the sky... has the color of the bottle.
That's what I see in front of me when I smell this fragrance, when I apply it. Good perfumes are like doors to other worlds. And this one is a damn good one. Hats off to Zara, hats off to Jo Malone. A masterful oud, smoky and floral at the same time. Absolutely elegant.

I totally agree with you, although the one with papyrus and the one with incense are definitely not for me. But I’ve shared my thoughts on all of them for others who might want to give them a try.
@boarisch I've now tested three from this collection, and I find them all unisex wearable. Zara hardly has any unisex scents, maybe that's why. I see the Leather Jardin more suited for men.
@JaMer Thanks, found it today at Zara and tried the whole line. I think it smells very Oud Wood-like after 3 hours. Actually feels quite unisex to me (but I also wear Gris Dior, so what do I know :D)
Honestly, I find it more feminine than masculine. My boyfriend wouldn't wear it. But I think it can definitely be worn by men too... which is usually the case with more refined fragrance DNAs. If I had to describe it in one word, it would actually be: elegant.
