Zara Black Tag and Intense

Zara Black Tag and Intense in Ghana

Zara’s Black Tag and Intense perfume is explicitly designed for men and hits the mark for those who prefer a fragrance that is equally woody, leathery, fruity, and spicy. It’s a scent that we find to be relatively long-lasting, making it a reliable choice for a day at the office or leisure time in the spring season.

On the first encounter with Black Tag and Intense by Zara, you will immediately notice a robust woody scent underlying the overall composition. It’s an intense, almost pronounced smell, which lends an air of masculinity to the perfume. As you delve further into the scent, you will detect a leathery accent. This element has a rich and deep feel to it, contrasting greatly with the initial woody note but creating a complex, layered experience.

Key Notes of Black Tag

• Apple
• Bergamot
• Cardamom
• Lavender
• Patchouli
• Pink pepper

What to Expect

You may detect a playful fruity note, possibly apple, intertwined with the bold, earthy tones of patchouli and vetiver. Not to forget, the spicy cardamom and pink pepper add a certain vitality to the scent. The addition of lavender offers a calming effect, which further adds depth and complexity to the perfume.

The spicy notes then slowly reveal themselves in the perfume. The spiciness adds a lively, zesty edge to the composition, contrasting with and yet complementing the woody and leathery elements. Towards the end, you will find a hint of fruitiness which adds a refreshing layer to the perfume, cutting through the heavier accords and adding unexpected freshness.

The notes of apple, bergamot, lavender, patchouli, pink pepper, sage, tonka bean, vanilla, and vetiver are present but not prominent in the scent composition. We believe this blend adds a nuanced underpinning to the perfume, making it a well-rounded fragrance. In our opinion, the perfume’s complexity lies in these subtle undertones and the harmonious blend of its four main accords. This expert blending results in a masculine, edgy, and memorable scent.

Conclusion

The perfume sillage isn’t as robust as some may prefer, which means its presence might not fill a room as effectively as other scents. But if you’re after a subtle yet intense fragrance, Zara’s Black Tag Intense could well be the scent you’ve been looking for. It offers fair value and is crafted with a versatile mix of notes to cater to a range of olfactory preferences.
