The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2021, Zara's At Dawn is an aromatic-spicy fragrance for men that balances freshness with warmth. The top note of cardamom introduces a bright, invigorating kick, while the heart note of tea adds a subtle complexity and depth. The base note of musk grounds the composition with its powdery, warm embrace. This blend creates a scent that is both fresh and enveloping, capturing the essence of a new day.

How to wear it

Apply one generous spray to your pulse points. The cardamom top note fades quickly, so it's important that the musk base has time to develop its warmth on your skin. This fragrance reads best in cooler temperatures.
