The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2014 by Vera Wang, Forever Vera is a Floral Woody Musk fragrance that captures the essence of lasting elegance. Created by perfumer Honorine Blanc, this composition opens with the sweet and juicy notes of white peach and coconut nectar before transitioning into a heart of gardenia and lilac, which adds a touch of floral softness. The base notes of iris, rum, sandalwood, musk, and tonka bean weave together to create a warm and powdery finish that feels both comforting and sophisticated.

How to wear it

Apply Forever Vera in light layers — it develops best when allowed to blend with your skin's natural warmth. The rum and tonka bean notes take a bit longer to bloom, so give it time to fully settle before heading out for the evening.
