Hamid Merati-Kashani crafted Magnificent Black for Zara in 2023, a fragrance that marries the sharpness of leather with the warmth of amber and powdery woods. The composition opens with a mineral edge that cuts through to the heart's violet and patchouli notes before settling into an animalic base that hints at something raw and enduring. This is not just a scent; it’s a statement, one that balances sophistication with a touch of ruggedness.

Application Tips
Apply Magnificent Black with confidence; it projects well and takes about an hour to fully settle on your skin. The animalic base notes will last throughout the day, so one or two sprays are sufficient.
