The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2017, Zara's 04 Pure Selection is a floral fragrance that balances the freshness of gardenia and magnolia with the warmth of amber. The composition opens with gardenia and jasmine sambac, bringing a bright, crisp aroma that feels like walking through a sunlit garden. As it settles, ivy and lily-of-the-valley add a subtle green undercurrent, while ambroxan and benzoin provide depth and comfort. It’s a fragrance designed to feel both airy and enveloping.
Apply two sprays and let it sit for about five minutes before heading out — the green notes will soften into the floral heart, creating a balanced scent that lasts through the day. It’s best suited for daytime wear when you want a fresh, modern fragrance.
