Frayed Edge by Zara, launched in 2021, is a Woody Spicy fragrance for men that weaves together the warmth of cardamom and black pepper with the earthy depth of vetiver. The opening notes of cardamom bring an invigorating freshness, quickly giving way to the sharp heat of black pepper in the heart. This contrast is anchored by the rich, grounding aroma of vetiver in the base, creating a composition that feels both modern and lasting.

Application Tips
Apply two sprays to your pulse points; the spicy notes will fade within a couple of hours but the vetiver base will linger throughout the day. It's best for cooler weather when its warmth can be fully appreciated.
