The story behind the bottle.
Vibrant Caramel by Zara, launched in 2024 and crafted by perfumer Marine Mercé, is a harmonious blend of sweet and fresh notes. The fragrance opens with the bright zest of bergamot and tangerine, creating an invigorating contrast to its heart of apple blossom and praline, which add a touch of floral sweetness. As it settles into vanilla and powdery undertones, Vibrant Caramel becomes a warm embrace that lingers close to the skin.
Apply two sprays to your pulse points — the citrus top notes are bright and fleeting, while the vanilla and powdery base notes will develop slowly throughout the day. This fragrance is best suited for daytime wear as it reads more intimate than bold across a room.
