The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2015, 8.0 Zara by Zara is an aromatic fragrance that marries fresh and aquatic accords with subtle powdery notes. The scent opens with a vibrant melon and mint, creating a crisp and refreshing top note. This freshness gives way to the delicate floral nuances of violet and lily-of-the-valley, adding a touch of elegance. The base notes of musk, cedar, and amber provide a grounding warmth that complements the overall composition without overpowering it.
One spray is enough to capture its essence — the melon and mint top notes are bright but fleeting. Allow the fragrance to settle for about 10 minutes so that the powdery base can fully emerge. This composition reads better close to skin, making it ideal for daytime wear.
