The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2023, Antique Brown by Zara is an Oriental fragrance crafted by perfumer Honorine Blanc. The composition begins with sweet and fruity notes that introduce warmth and depth, followed by a heart of honey and rum that adds complexity. At its core, the fragrance blends vanilla and tobacco with powdery and amber accords, creating a rich, enveloping scent that is both comforting and sophisticated.

How to wear it

Antique Brown has a long-lasting base, so apply it in layers for deeper notes to emerge. The sweet and fruity top notes dissipate quickly, but the heart and base will stay close to your skin throughout the evening.
