    Real talk

    Rich. Commanding. Eight hours of it. Zara's 2016 exclusive delivers oud that doesn't apologize, dark, resinous, with leather and cinnamon doing the heavy lifting.Exclusive Oud
    This is the fragrance for someone who wants vetiver and nothing else. No florals to soften it, no sweetness to apologize for. Just the dry, earthy depth of roots and bark.Encre Noire
