Launched in 2020 by Zara, Black Pepper & Cedarwood is a Woody Spicy fragrance that captures the essence of contrast and warmth. The composition opens with the sharp, invigorating punch of black pepper, which immediately sets a tone of freshness and energy. As it settles into its heart note of rose, the scent softens but retains an underlying edge, creating a subtle tension between floral sweetness and spicy assertiveness. The base of cedarwood grounds this dynamic interplay, providing a warm and earthy finish that lingers on the skin.

Application Tips
Apply two sprays to pulse points for an impactful opening that slowly transitions into its heart and base notes. This fragrance reads better close to skin than across a room, so avoid heavy application if you prefer a more intimate aroma.

The quiet intensity of a city street at twilight, where the sharpness of black pepper mingles with the subtle scent of rose and cedar.
