The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2021, Gardenia by Zara is a Floral Fruity Gourmand fragrance that marries the sweetness of orange blossom with the warm embrace of coffee and vanilla. The top note of orange blossom introduces an effervescent freshness, which seamlessly transitions into the rich, aromatic heart of coffee, grounding the composition in a cozy warmth. This blend culminates in a base of vanilla, adding a layer of comforting sweetness that lingers on the skin.

How to wear it

Apply two sprays to pulse points for a lasting effect — the base notes of vanilla will gradually unfold over time. This fragrance is best suited for daytime wear as its warmth and sweetness complement the morning and early afternoon.
