Zara (Wood Legacy) is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2024, created by Alexis Dadier. (Wood Legacy) opens with Oak, Dark Chocolate, and Pepper, settles into a heart of Cedar and Tonka Bean, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Patchouli, and Vanilla. Zara's (Wood Legacy) carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

This Zara release is a bit of a Jekyll and Hyde, opening with a divisive synthetic rubber note before transforming into a surprisingly niche-quality dark chocolate and woody dream. Don't let the initial weirdness put you off, the dry-down is utterly addictive.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

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.

About

Wood Legacy opens with an unexpected, slightly challenging edge of peppery oak and a hint of something rubbery, but quickly softens into a sophisticated blend. Dark chocolate, not sweet but rich and bitter, melds seamlessly with warm cedar and tonka bean, creating a velvety, almost leathery depth. As it settles, a clean musk, earthy patchouli, and creamy vanilla emerge, grounding the woods and chocolate in a soft, alluring base with a whisper of moss.
