By the editors · 2 min readZara For Him Black Edition opens with cardamom — its warmth tempered immediately by a bite of pink grapefruit, a combination that reads as spiced citrus rather than purely aromatic. The grapefruit here is clean rather than sour, keeping the opening fresh even as the cardamom lends dry-spice weight.
Orange blossom bridges the gap between the citrus-spice opening and the woody drydown with practiced ease, adding a honeyed white-floral moment before cedar and sandalwood take over. The base is classically masculine: dry, mildly sweet from the sandalwood, with cedar's pencil-shaving sharpness providing definition.
A well-executed everyday masculine that works in professional and casual settings alike, particularly in transitional-weather months.
