In 2018, Zara introduced Dark Copper — a fragrance that's hard to forget. A masculine fragrance rooted in the east and wood families. The fragrance belongs to the ambery, fruit, and wood groups. Dark Copper — a proud member of the Rusty Metal collection. Offered in eau de parfum concentration.
Behind this fragrance stands Spain and its rich perfumery heritage. Dark Copper Zara unfolds gradually, effortlessly, and with great refinement — a perfect choice for day or evening.
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 composition of Dark Copper is shaped as a layered story, where layers reveal themselves smoothly and sequentially. The creative approach of Zara is evident in details that define the fragrance identity. No excess details, only what works, and the fragrance holds its character from opening to trail. Eau de parfum sets the right density and pace of development.
At the opening of the pyramid you catch juicy fruity opening note: Apple. This single 1 note shapes thrilling fruity juiciness that gives the fragrance a clear opening statement.
At the core of development you notice Woody Accord holding a velvety sandalwood direction.
The olfactory framework is shaped by these accords: Fruit, Wood and Amber without random overlap. The stylistic positioning is masculine, which clarifies the composition character.
At olfactory-group level the profile is anchored in Ambery, Fruit, Wood and Gourmet. Within olfactory families the fragrance belongs to East and Wood.
Taken together Dark Copper reads as a cohesive composition — the start forms character, the middle layer carries the identity, and the final phase leaves a stable imprint. This is the type of composition best experienced through real development.
