The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2021, Memoire Intense by Zara is a Chypre fragrance that marries the freshness of citrus with the depth of woody and floral notes. The composition opens with bitter orange and mandarin, creating a bright, zesty contrast to the rich heart of rose and jasmine. As it evolves, cashmere wood and cedar offer a warm embrace, while patchouli and sandalwood add an earthy undertone that grounds the fragrance. Memoire Intense is not just a scent but a memory of moments where brightness meets depth.
Apply two sprays for a balanced wear that allows the citrus top notes to shine initially, giving way to the rich florals and woody base as the day progresses. It pairs well with layers, so it's ideal for transitioning from daytime to evening.
