Dark Wash by Zara was launched in 2021 as a contemporary take on the Oriental Fougere genre. The fragrance opens with sesame, offering an unexpected twist that adds depth and intrigue to the composition. As it evolves, watery notes provide a fresh contrast to the warm spice of sandalwood, creating a harmonious blend of aquatic and woody accords. This dynamic interplay makes Dark Wash a versatile choice for those who appreciate both freshness and warmth in their fragrances.

Application Tips
Dark Wash is best applied in light to moderate sprays, as the watery top notes are quick to dissipate. The warm spicy and woody base notes develop slowly over time, so it's ideal for daytime wear when you want a scent that evolves with your mood.
