The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2017, Zara Femme 2017 is an Oriental Vanilla fragrance that balances warmth and freshness with its blend of vanilla, woody, and powdery accords. The composition opens with a bright citrus note that adds a touch of vibrancy before giving way to the richness of floral and balsamic elements. Patchouli provides depth, grounding the scent in earthy warmth while the powdery undertones keep it soft and approachable.

How to wear it

Apply lightly at first; the citrus opening is bright but fades quickly. The powdery base notes develop slowly over time, so reapply as needed to maintain a consistent warmth throughout the day.
