Nocturnal Velvet by Zara, launched in 2024 and crafted by perfumer Jérôme Epinette, is a fragrance that weaves together the sweetness of ripe fruits with the warmth of musky florals. The composition opens with the bright freshness of strawberry and raspberry, punctuated by the spicy notes of pink pepper. As it settles, peony and plum lend an air of sophistication to the heart, while gardenia and jasmine add a lush floral depth. The base notes of musk and ambroxan create a warm and enveloping finish that feels like a gentle embrace.
