Zara 2025 EDT
Black Tide
Zara Black Tide is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2025, created by Alberto Morillas. Black Tide opens with Orange Blossom and Ambroxan, settles into a heart of Cetalox, Styrax, and Ink, and dries down to a base of Woody Notes, Musk, and Leather. Zara's Black Tide carries an Acquired verdict, a musk-led wear.
Seriously, Zara? This should cost five times more. Black Tide is a dark, inky animalic leather that smells outrageously expensive for a high street gem. It's a genuine standout and a massive win for those who crave something a bit moody and complex.What our verdicts mean →

Scent Profile
Composition
Timeline
Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Best Occasions
Its bold, assertive character, with prominent leather and animalic notes, makes it a bit too much for a typical office setting. This fragrance truly shines for evening dates or formal events, where its depth and sensuality can be fully appreciated.

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this
