By the editors · 2 min readJérôme Epinette's entry for Zara lands in a clean, polished masculine register. The opening is brisk — Sichuan pepper carries its numbing tingle rather than pure heat, bergamot keeping the top airy and light. Leather in the heart is dry and abstract rather than hide-heavy, paired with the powdery lift of violet.
Amber and tonka in the base land warm but controlled, avoiding the sweetness overreach that plagues cheaper amber masculines. The overall effect is an office-ready aromatic leather: structured and restrained.
Epinette rarely overreaches at this price point. Cool Heights earns its name.
