The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2021, Olaf by Zara is a unisex Oriental Vanilla fragrance crafted by perfumer Alex Lee. The composition opens with the crisp freshness of apple, leading into a heart of red berries that adds a touch of sweetness and tartness. At its core, caramel provides a warm, comforting base that ties the entire scent together. This blend creates an olfactory experience that is both fresh and indulgent.

How to wear it

One or two sprays are enough to capture the essence of Olaf. The apple and red berries offer an immediate burst of freshness that fades within an hour, making way for the lasting warmth of the caramel base. Best applied during cooler weather when the sweet notes can be fully appreciated.
