The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2018, Brass Dream by Zara is a Woody Spicy fragrance that balances earthy warmth with aromatic complexity. The composition opens with the bright freshness of cardamom, which contrasts beautifully against the rich and velvety heart of iris. This floral note adds an unexpected layer of sophistication before giving way to the woody depth of Virginia cedar in the base. Brass Dream is neither too heavy nor too light, making it a versatile choice for any occasion.
Apply two sprays to capture both the bright top notes and the deeper base. This fragrance develops best when worn close to skin, so avoid layering it over heavy colognes or perfumes.
