The year 2022 gave us Bohemian Oud Zara. A feminine fragrance from the east, wood, and balsamic families. One of the scents from the Zara Oud collection. An eau de parfum — light-footed, but utterly unforgettable.
Country of origin — Spain. Bohemian Oud Zara — the choice of those who appreciate depth and character in every detail.
The fragrance is very long-lasting, staying on the skin for 12 hours or more, gradually revealing its notes
The scent will linger in the air even after its wearer has left.
The perfume has a rich aroma that will help you stand out from the crowd and create a memorable image
A rich and elegant fragrance that gently unfolds on the skin and lasts most of the day, leaving a delicate trail
Perfumes for the fall and winter seasons often contain notes of vanilla, spices, ambergris, wood, and other warm accords, creating a feeling of comfort and warmth during the cold months
The scent of Bohemian Oud evolves as a layered story, where notes flow without rush and without gaps. The signature of Zara comes through in the way notes appear and fade. Nothing here feels random, and the fragrance holds its character from opening to trail. Eau de parfum keeps the right density and pace of development.
The olfactory framework is shaped by these accords: Balsamic, Gourmet and Wood with each one in a clear role. The gender direction is feminine, which clarifies the composition character.
When the pyramid is blended into one block the fragrance opens as a single chord with a delicious creamy mood: Cocoa, Frankincense and Oud. In this format 3 notes sound as one coherent layer, forming enveloping sweet softness that reads as cohesive from the start.
The inner phases are felt as a gradual shift without abrupt breaks, which keeps the fragrance coherent.
At olfactory-group level the profile is anchored in Gourmet, Balsamic and Wood. Within olfactory families the scent maps to Balsamic, East and Wood.
Taken together Bohemian Oud sounds complete from start to finish — the first stage creates momentum, the central phase adds depth, and the final phase leaves a stable imprint. This is the type of composition best judged on skin.
