Zara For Him Black Edition Intense is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2025. For Him Black Edition Intense opens with Pimiento, Grapefruit, Pepper, and Cardamom, settles into a heart of Mastic, Orange Blossom, and Sage, and dries down to a base of Cedar, Sandalwood, Patchouli, and Pistachio. Zara's For Him Black Edition Intense carries a Favourite verdict, a warm spicy-led wear.

A solid, versatile all-rounder that's a bit of a chameleon, shifting from fresh spice to warm woods. Some call it generic, others appreciate its mass appeal. Don't expect groundbreaking, but it's a decent daily driver, especially for the price.

About

Opens with an invigorating burst of grapefruit and black pepper, sharpened by a hint of fiery pimiento, before cardamom emerges to soften the edges. The heart introduces a unique mastic resin, combined with the subtle florality of orange blossom and aromatic sage. As it settles, a rich, warm base of cedar and creamy sandalwood takes hold, with earthy patchouli and a surprising, gourmand-ish touch of pistachio, all rounded off by the balsamic warmth of labdanum.
