The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2021 by Zara and crafted by perfumer Frank Voelkl, WDS 002/VKL is a Woody Spicy fragrance that embodies the essence of modern elegance. The composition opens with a fresh peppery note, creating an immediate sense of clarity and vibrancy. This gives way to the delicate floral heart of lily-of-the-valley, which adds a touch of softness and femininity. The base of vetiver grounds the scent, bringing earthy warmth and depth that lingers throughout the day.

How to wear it

Apply WDS 002/VKL to pulse points for maximum longevity. The peppery top note is bright but fades quickly, so layering it with the vetiver base ensures a lasting warmth throughout the day. Ideal for daytime wear when you want a fresh yet grounded scent.
