The story behind the bottle.
(Wood Legacy) by Zara is a woody and warm fragrance that encapsulates the essence of modern elegance. Launched in 2024 and crafted by Alexis Dadier, it opens with dark chocolate and oak, creating an immediate sense of richness and depth. The heart notes of black pepper and tonka bean add a spicy warmth, while cedarwood and patchouli ground the composition with their earthy tones. The base of amber, vanilla, musk, and moss creates a lasting warmth that feels both comforting and sophisticated.
Apply (Wood Legacy) to pulse points for a lasting warmth that builds over time. The chocolate and vanilla notes are best experienced close to skin rather than across a room, so a few targeted sprays will keep you enveloped in its rich embrace throughout the day.
