The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Dark Emerald by Zara is a fragrance that was launched in 2016 and immediately captured the essence of Oriental Floral complexity. The opening notes of almond and pear introduce a rich fruity sweetness that gradually gives way to the soft, powdery warmth of jasmine and rose. The heart of vanilla and musk adds an extra layer of depth, creating a scent that is both indulgent and comforting. This composition is a proof of Zara's commitment to blending traditional elegance with contemporary sophistication.

How to wear it

Apply Dark Emerald lightly to pulse points for best effect. The fragrance blooms over time, so let it sit close to your skin rather than projecting into the air. It pairs beautifully with cool evenings but can be worn throughout the day for a consistent warmth.
