The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Place Dauphine by Zara, launched in 2020, is a Citrus Aromatic fragrance that balances bright freshness with subtle warmth. The scent opens with a zesty citrus and salty marine accord, evoking the crispness of coastal breezes. This freshness contrasts beautifully with the warmer undertones of amber, balsamic notes, and a hint of animalic musk, creating an intriguing interplay between light and depth.

How to wear it

Place Dauphine has a moderate sillage and longevity. Apply it lightly for daytime wear, as the fresh spicy notes can be overpowering in smaller spaces. For evening use, a slightly heavier application allows the balsamic and animalic elements to unfold more fully.
