The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2019, Femme Summer by Zara is a fragrance that captures the essence of a sun-soaked day. The top note of mandarin orange brings a bright and zesty freshness, while jasmine at the heart adds a touch of floral sweetness. Settling into its base, Madagascar vanilla offers warmth and comfort, creating a harmonious blend that feels both fresh and enveloping.
For a lasting effect, apply Femme Summer to pulse points. The mandarin orange top note fades within an hour but leaves room for the floral and vanilla notes to take center stage. It's best enjoyed in warmer months when its light and airy qualities can truly shine.
