The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2014, Zara Rose Elixir by Zara is an Oriental Floral fragrance that balances rose and spicy accords with warm woods and powdery notes. The composition opens with the freshness of bergamot and apple, followed by a heart of saffron and labdanum that adds depth and complexity. The base notes of patchouli, cedarwood, sandalwood, vanilla, and musk create a rich, enveloping warmth that feels both luxurious and intimate.
Apply this fragrance in light layers; it blooms gradually over time. The powdery base notes take a bit to settle in, but once they do, they create a lasting warmth that feels close to skin rather than projecting widely.
