The story behind the bottle.
For Him Black Edition Intense by Zara launched in 2025 as a bold and intense fragrance for men. This composition opens with the sharp freshness of grapefruit and red chilli pepper, creating an invigorating and spicy top note. The heart blends cardamom and orange blossom, adding depth and warmth to the scent. The base notes of patchouli, sandalwood, and cedarwood provide a rich, woody foundation that grounds the fragrance with earthy complexity.
For Him Black Edition Intense projects well from the start but settles into its woody base notes over time. Apply one or two sprays to ensure the spicy top notes are balanced by the rich base, making it ideal for daytime wear when you want a scent that evolves throughout the day.
