The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2024 by Zara, Shades of Joy is an Oriental Floral fragrance for women that balances vibrant and warm notes. The composition opens with the zesty spark of pink pepper, which contrasts beautifully with the soft, floral heart of peony and rose. As it settles, a creamy vanilla base adds warmth and depth, creating an elegant and feminine scent that feels both fresh and comforting.
Apply Shades of Joy lightly to your pulse points — it has a quick build that lingers softly throughout the day. The fresh top note fades quickly, but the warm base notes will stay close to your skin for hours.
