The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2023 by Zara and crafted by the renowned perfumer Alberto Morillas, Memorable Oud is a complex woody aromatic fragrance that captures the essence of both warmth and sophistication. The composition opens with bright cardamom and citruses, which give way to a heart of white flowers and oud, creating an intriguing contrast between freshness and depth. The base notes of sandalwood and patchouli lend a rich, earthy foundation that anchors the scent's woody character.

How to wear it

Memorable Oud projects well but evolves slowly, so it’s best to apply two sprays initially. The citrus notes dissipate quickly, while the woody base develops over time, making this fragrance perfect for daytime or evening wear.
