From the very first sniff I felt this Zara
is something different. Ebony Wood is a member of Zara Emotions line, created
by the perfumer Jo Malone of Jo Loves brand and ex-perfumer and probably the ex-owner
of Jo Malone. So what is so different in this Zara line compared to their
standard offering? It possesses a standard Jo Malone procedure – the creation
is usually based on one or the major notes. Furthermore, the compositions has
some natural vibe, especially contrasted to usually extremely “synthetic” Zara
style. Ebony Wood is no example from the Emotions line. It opens up very unusual
for Zara, fragrance layers are somehow easily recognizable, clean cut and
almost very natural. Very nice pepper, accompanied by the herbal vibe of clove
and some soft minty nuances. The darker, woodsy base notes of burning Guiac wood
and cedar come into play almost instantly. This base is very nice, cozy piece
of burning woods dancing on the verge of gourmand composition. Like a light version
of Carner Barcelona Palo Santo, a full blooded milky woodsy gourmand. However,
this dance ends too early due to the running out of the cash spent.
Ebony Wood is a nice creation with the usual
Zara problem of low performance. Nevertheless,
a solid Zara spin-off attempt.
