Alberto Morillas crafted Nightfall In Madrid for Zara in 2021, a fragrance that captures the essence of a city at twilight. The composition opens with cardamom, infusing the air with an invigorating warmth and spiciness that immediately draws you into its embrace. As it evolves, tonka bean and nutmeg mingle to create a rich, aromatic heart that balances sweetness with earthy depth. Settling into sandalwood, the base notes provide a soothing woody foundation, evoking the quiet confidence of Madrid as night falls.
