Launched in 2023, Absolutely Dark by Zara is an Oriental Woody fragrance for men crafted by perfumer Marion Costero. This composition opens with invigorating marine and citrus notes that create a fresh contrast against the deep elegance of its heart and base. The heart reveals iris and cashmere, which add a refined touch, while sandalwood lends warmth and depth. On a base of mossy woods and amber, Absolutely Dark encapsulates the sensuality and sophistication of black in every note.

Application Tips
Two sprays are sufficient to capture the invigorating top notes and allow the deeper woods and amber to unfold over time. This fragrance reads best close to skin rather than across a room, making it ideal for intimate settings or cooler evenings.

The story behind the bottle.
The quiet intensity of an office late at night, where the crispness of marine notes blends seamlessly with the warm embrace of woody undertones.
