The story behind the bottle.
Imperial Purple by Zara, created by perfumer Ane Ayo and launched in 2023, is a Floral fragrance that weaves together the opulent richness of iris and violet with earthy undertones. The powdery leather and woody notes create a warm embrace without overpowering the delicate floral tones. Vanilla rounds out the composition, adding a touch of sweetness that grounds the scent in sophistication.
Apply two sprays to your pulse points. The powdery notes settle in quickly, while the vanilla base develops gradually over time, ensuring the fragrance evolves naturally throughout the day.
