The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2023, Forbidden Pink by Zara is an Oriental Floral fragrance that balances bright citrus notes with warm vanilla and sweet florals. The composition opens with the freshness of orange and neroli before transitioning into a heart of rose and orange blossom, creating a delicate floral bouquet. This is further enriched by the powdery and aromatic nuances of tonka bean and vanilla, grounding the scent in a cozy, indulgent warmth.

How to wear it

For best effect, apply Forbidden Pink in light layers — the citrus top notes dissipate quickly but leave behind a lingering warmth from the vanilla and tonka bean base. It's perfect for evenings when you want to feel enveloped in a cozy yet sophisticated scent.
