Pros & Cons
- ✅ This has got to be the best fragrance ever made by Zara. So deep and yet so fresh.. sharp, woody and spicy in the most intriguing way possible!
- ✅ One of the best scents ever, a true masterpiece!
- ✅ Ebony Wood is a really interesting fragrance and honestly feels so modern. I got an unexpected amount of compliments with this one, and it’s genuinely really good.
- ✅ My all-time favorite fragrance. Complex, unisex, but accessible enough to wear daily.
- ❌ I find this way too sweet. Almost artificial sweetener like.
- ❌ The opening is a bit polarizing but on skin this dries down into the loveliest fruity woody goodness. Wouldn’t wear this where I’m going to be sitting next to lots of people, as I could see many consider the smell offensive. Definitely not a safe blind buy.
- ❌ I disliked the old version of this. I liked this new version for a bit, then it got cloying as time went on.
- ❌ The opening is a bit polarizing... Definitely not a safe blind buy.
- ❌ it became so sickening, it lingered at the back of my nose, I scrubbed it off my wrists
