The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2008, Vetiver by Zara is a woody and earthy scent that captures the essence of natural elements. The aromatic opening gives way to fresh green notes, creating an initial freshness that transitions smoothly into deeper, richer tones of vetiver and other woody accords. This composition evokes the tranquility of a lush garden at dusk, where the air is crisp with the scent of freshly cut grass and the earthy warmth of vetiver.

How to wear it

Apply Vetiver sparingly — its earthy and woody notes are most impactful close to the skin. The green freshness fades after an hour, but the base notes linger for hours, making it ideal for daytime wear.
