By the editors · 2 min readThe name suggests more drama than the formula delivers, but the composition is more considered than Zara's usual fare. Pear and violet leaf open together — a green, lightly metallic freshness — joined by a faint citrus brightness that disappears quickly. Cedarwood emerges as the central structure, clean and pale, grounding the fragrance without heaviness. The base assembles a chypre-adjacent drydown of moss, sandalwood, and vetiver.
The leather reference exists more as texture than as a defined note — an abstract dryness in the overall accord rather than an animalic or processed hide quality. Unisex in practice, with a quiet restraint suited to casual or office wear in temperate conditions. Better than average for a Zara entry.
