The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2020, A Book Liason In Lisbon by Zara is a Chypre Fruity fragrance created by perfumer Ane Ayo. The composition opens with the juicy sweetness of plum and strawberry, creating an immediate sense of warmth and comfort. As it settles into its base note of patchouli, the scent takes on a woody, earthy character that adds depth and complexity. This fragrance captures the intimate atmosphere of a beloved bookshop where stories wait to be discovered.

How to wear it

Apply A Book Liason In Lisbon lightly to pulse points for a warm, enveloping effect. The fruity notes are bright but fleeting, so let the patchouli base take center stage as it unfolds over several hours.
