The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Oriental by Zara is an enveloping oriental floral fragrance that balances sweet and powdery notes with a subtle touch of balsamic richness. The composition opens with the freshness of bergamot and freesia, followed by a heart of vanilla and jasmine that adds depth and warmth. At its core, caramel and musk create a comforting base, while patchouli adds an earthy undertone. This fragrance embodies the essence of luxurious comfort, blending classic floral notes with a modern twist.

How to wear it

This fragrance has a long-lasting base that blooms over time. Start with one or two sprays on pulse points to let the warm caramel and musky notes develop naturally throughout the day.
