The story behind the bottle.
Textures Lilac by Zara, launched in 1999 and created by perfumers Carlos Benaïm, Alberto Morillas, and Rosendo Mateu, is a Floral Fruity Gourmand fragrance that captures the essence of sweetness and freshness. The composition opens with bright, fresh notes mingled with spicy undertones, leading to a heart filled with floral and fruity accords. A warm base of chocolate and cacao provides depth and richness, creating an indulgent yet delicate balance.
Apply this EDT to pulse points for a subtle, long-lasting effect. The gourmand base notes take about an hour to fully bloom, so give it time to develop on your skin before reapplying if needed.
