The story behind the bottle.
Dark Copper by Zara, launched in 2018, is an Oriental Woody fragrance that balances the crisp freshness of apple with the warmth and depth of woods and amber. The composition opens with a juicy burst of apple, creating a refreshing contrast against the woody heart notes that follow. As it settles into its base, the scent reveals a rich, enveloping layer of amber, adding a touch of sophistication and warmth.
For best effect, apply Dark Copper in light layers — it blooms gradually over time. The apple top note is fleeting but impactful, so you'll want to ensure the woody and amber base has enough room to develop on your skin.
