MSK 004/NTL Zara, created in 2021, is classified as a feminine fragrance, drawing from the wood, floral, and gourmet families. This fragrance is the personal signature of perfumer Nathalie Lorson. Part of the Zara Limited Country Edition collection, available as eau de parfum.
Brand country — Spain: a place that truly knows its way around a great scent. MSK 004/NTL 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 MSK 004/NTL evolves as a layered story, where layers reveal themselves with precision and warmth. The style of Zara comes through in details that define the fragrance identity. No excess details, only what works, and the composition keeps a clear direction. Eau de parfum supports a balanced rhythm of unfolding.
Without strict stage separation the notes arrive together with a sweet-spicy dessert mood: Almond, Iris and Patchouli. In this case 3 notes act as one voice, creating effect of a cozy dessert that reads as cohesive from the start.
The middle and base stages are felt as a gradual shift without abrupt breaks, which preserves the scent identity through drydown.
The accord profile rests on these accords: Gourmet, Wood and Powdery forming a compact and readable structure.
From the group perspective the profile is anchored in Gourmet, Floral, Wood and Whiteflower. It also reaches into Drinks and Fairy. From a family perspective the scent maps to Floral, Gourmet and Wood.
In summary MSK 004/NTL reads as a cohesive composition — the opening sets direction, the heart develops the core line, and the final phase leaves a stable imprint. This is the type of composition best experienced on skin.
