Accord No 3 Woody
by Zara
Zara's Accord No 3 Woody is a fresh, lightly woody scent with a floral-green heart and a subtle musky dry down. It opens with a crisp, clean blend of apple, freesia, and violet leaf, giving way to a nuanced mix of cedar, ambroxan, and touches of green tea and mate. The fragrance evolves into a quiet, elegant profile with a powdery violet and mallow base, enhanced by spice and a hint of sweetness. Though marketed as feminine, most experiences indicate it feels unisex—refined, bright, and suitable for both day and warm weather. The scent is perceived as light, well-balanced, and rarely cloying, with a distinctive presence that feels elevated compared to typical Zara offerings. It subtly lingers without dominating, offering a whisper-like sillage that stays noticeable but intimate.
