Zara Hipster Oud is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2022. Zara's Hipster Oud carries a Favourite verdict, an elemental-led wear.

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.

Its moderate longevity and sillage, combined with its generally subtle and sweet profile, make it highly suitable for casual and office wear. While some reviewers find it sensual enough for nights out, its lack of strong projection keeps it from being a formal powerhouse. Many users also enjoy it as a comfortable, everyday scent.

About

Hipster Oud opens with a bright, almost jammy burst of black currant, quickly entwining with a soft, sweet rose that some find leans towards a juicy pear. A delicate whisper of pink pepper and saffron adds a subtle, almost gourmand spiciness, leading into a creamy, powdery dry-down. Musk provides a clean anchor, while the promised oud remains elusive, offering only a very faint woody suggestion rather than a bold, resinous presence. It's a comforting and enveloping scent, often compared to luxury designer fragrances.
