The story behind the bottle.
Petale d'Ambre by Zara, launched in 2023 and crafted by the renowned perfumer Jo Malone, is a composition that seamlessly blends fresh citrus with woody warmth. The fragrance opens with vibrant notes of bergamot and lemon, which immediately set a bright and invigorating tone. As it evolves, lavender and lily-of-the-valley bring a soft floral touch, while nutmeg and patchouli add depth and complexity. The base notes of labdanum, ambergris, and cashmere wood create a warm, enveloping embrace that lasts throughout the day.
For best results, apply Petale d'Ambre to pulse points. The citrus top notes are bright but fleeting, so allowing it time to develop into its woody base will reveal its full character. This fragrance is best worn in cooler weather when the warmth of its base notes can be fully appreciated.
