Zara Navy Black is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2020. Navy Black opens with Bergamot, settles into a heart of Grapefruit, and dries down to a base of Cedar and Vetiver. It lasts about 2 to 4 hours on skin, carries to about arm's length and is best in spring. Zara's Navy Black carries a Favourite verdict, a fresh-led wear.

A breezy, ultra-fresh blue scent that's as easy to wear as it is to forget. Navy Black is pleasant, clean, and modern, but suffers from infamously weak performance. Great for quick refreshes or low-key settings.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend
Topas listed
Heartas listed
Baseas listed

Top, heart and base are the pyramid as published, not a timing claim. Each note's timing follows its listed tier, where it usually sits across many published pyramids (from ScentPrism) and its vapour pressure. A note comes through as the notes usually listed before it fade, judged from how other pyramids order the same pair. The thickness of a ribbon shows the note's share of what is left on the skin, which tracks how strongly it smells, because odour thresholds rise with vapour pressure. The shares come from how prominent wearers vote each note. It is a simple model, not a measurement.

About

Navy Black Eau de Toilette opens with a luminous burst of bergamot and grapefruit, brightened by a hint of nectarine. The heart introduces a whisper of clary sage and the subtlest touch of coffee, adding a faintly aromatic, slightly bitter edge. As it dries down, clean vetiver and a gentle base of amber and patchouli create a crisp, woody finish. The overall effect is sparkling, clean, and understated-an everyday scent that projects effortless urban freshness but remains resolutely polite and unobtrusive.
