The story behind the bottle.
Bitter Orange by Zara was launched in 2018 as a floral fruity fragrance for women. This composition opens with the zesty brightness of bitter orange, which is immediately balanced by a powdery musk and a subtle soapy note that adds an unexpected layer of depth. The heart unfolds into white florals, sweet nuances, and a gentle animalic undertone, creating a complex yet harmonious blend. It's a fragrance that marries modernity with a touch of classic elegance.
Apply Bitter Orange to pulse points for a balanced experience. The zesty opening is bright and brief, so layering it with a touch of powder can enhance its longevity. It's best suited for daytime wear when its fresh, vibrant character shines through.
