The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2021, Crispy Gardenia by Zara is a Chypre Floral fragrance that captures the essence of freshness and warmth. The top note of peach introduces a burst of fruity sweetness, while the heart of gardenia adds a delicate floral touch. The base note of patchouli brings an earthy, woody depth that grounds the composition, creating a balance between crispness and richness.

How to wear it

Apply this fragrance to pulse points for a gentle yet long-lasting effect. The peach top note fades quickly, so reapply if you want to maintain its initial freshness throughout the day. The earthy patchouli base will ensure a steady warmth that lingers close to your skin.
