The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Femme Intense by Zara, launched in 2019, is an Oriental Floral fragrance that seamlessly blends the warmth of vanilla and tonka bean with the freshness of peony. The composition opens with a bright burst of peony before transitioning into the rich sweetness of vanilla, creating a harmonious balance between floral brightness and gourmand depth. The base note of tonka bean adds a powdery warmth that lingers on the skin, making it an inviting choice for those who appreciate complex yet comforting scents.

How to wear it

Apply Femme Intense in light layers — it blooms gradually on the skin. The peony top note is fleeting but impactful, so one or two sprays are sufficient to let the vanilla and tonka bean base notes take center stage throughout the day.
