By the editors · 2 min readA soft summer scent that opens with ripe peach and lemon before settling into the main event: a bright, powdery lilac with supporting orange blossom and rose. The floral trio reads more like a garden centerpiece than a bouquet — the lilac dominant but not overpowering, orange blossom adding a faint creaminess underneath.
Vanilla and musk in the base keep things close to the skin without adding confectionery sweetness. Wearable in warm weather, this suits casual daytime use and runs toward the feminine. It has the fleeting quality typical of Zara's lighter releases — present for two to three hours before fading to a faint musky trace.
