The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2023, Parfait d'Orchidee by Zara is an Oriental Floral fragrance for women, crafted by the renowned perfumer Jo Malone. This scent opens with a delicate interplay of incense and jasmine, creating an immediate sense of elegance and warmth. The heart notes of ginger and iris add a touch of sophistication, while the base of benzoin, vanilla, ambergris, and white musk envelops you in a powdery, smoky embrace that lingers throughout the day.

How to wear it

Apply one to two sprays to your pulse points. The incense and jasmine top notes are bright but fade quickly, so the heart and base notes will carry most of the scent throughout the day. This fragrance is best suited for evening wear, where its powdery warmth can truly shine.
