Pros & Cons
- ✅ This fragrance is a real niche quality. To me, it is like the fresh air of a winter morning in a wooden house.
- ✅ Opens up pretty weird, there's something plasticky or rubbery that I really dislike in it. Then, something magic happens, and this turns into this dark, chocolatey, creamy woody scent, very different from whatever else I smelled... this smell is niche, it's not a standard designer fragrance, it's legit 10/10.
- ✅ With my newly-opened bottle, the dry-down is basically slightly-chocolatey woods and leather. Don't expect a photorealistic wood scent. The chocolate dominates in the first 30 mins; then it becomes chocolatey-woody for 30 mins; then woody-leathery with the chocolate progressively fading.
- ✅ Wood Legacy is honestly a very solid Zara release and a safe blind buy if you like darker, woody scents that are still easy to wear.

- ❌ Unfortunately, I expected something more, the scent is downright terrible, I like leather scents, but I can't find one here, blind purchase, I don't recommend it.
- ❌ The opening is a bit synthetic, with a rubbery kind if feel and it dries down to somewhat ambery vanilla, but throughout I don't pick up the 'vibes' of this fragrance.
- ❌ This thing is an instant skin scent or maybe I got a bad batch :(
