Zara Black Lava is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2025, created by Alberto Morillas. Black Lava opens with Bergamot and Mandarin, settles into a heart of Cedar and Pink Pepper, and dries down to a base of Cypriol Oil Or Nagarmotha, Musk, and Frankincense. Zara's Black Lava carries an Acquired verdict, a musky-led wear.

Divisive, intriguing - Black Lava is either a groundbreaking earthy-musk triumph or an overly raw, challenging scent. You'll love it or find it far too much. It's certainly not a safe blind-buy, so sample before committing.

About

Black Lava opens with a fleeting citrus spark of bergamot and mandarin, quickly giving way to the earthy, almost mineral core. Nagarmotha and frankincense blend with a prominent musk accord, creating a dry, rooty, slightly smoky aroma. Pink pepper adds a touch of subtle spice while cedar grounds the composition, making for a scent that feels both ancient and modern.
