Pros & Cons
- ✅ I bought this perfume as soon as I smelt it in the shop. I’d never smelt anything like it before... It’s both very pink and very spicy, and the woody pink pepper combination gives it a scent that seems somehow both bold and complexly subtle.
- ✅ Best fragrance from Zara, this is an ultra niche scent
- ✅ 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!
- ✅ 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 bought this perfume as soon as I smelt it in the shop. I’d never smelt anything like it before... This not only smells divine but lasts weeks on my clothes.
- ✅ This fragrance is probably one of the best affordable scents I've ever tried. It smells so much more expensive than it is and it projects and lasts!
- ❌ 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.
- ❌ At first spray I literally gasped it was that gorgeous... However, through the day, it somehow became so sickening, it lingered at the back of my nose, I scrubbed it off my wrists and had to change clothes.
- ❌ The opening is a bit polarizing... 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.
- ❌ At first I was like wow it smells like my cat’s litter box
