In 2021, Zara introduced WDS 002/FRV — a fragrance that's hard to forget. By character, a feminine fragrance drawing from the spicy, wood, and floral families. It was created by perfumer Frank Voelkl. Created within the Zara Limited Country Edition collection and available in eau de parfum.
Made in Spain, backed by a long and proud tradition. A rich, layered composition that reveals itself differently depending on your mood and the time of day.
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 olfactory structure of WDS 002/FRV is built as a layered story, where accents shift without rush and without gaps. The signature of Zara is clear in the pacing of the notes and the overall aesthetic. Every decision feels deliberate, and the composition keeps a clear direction. Eau de parfum sets a balanced rhythm of unfolding.
At olfactory-group level the structure relies on Spicy, Whiteflower, Wood and Floral. At family level the fragrance belongs to Floral, Spicy and Wood.
In a unified mixed pyramid the fragrance opens as a single chord with a warm spicy mood: Black Pepper, Lily of the Valley and Vetiver. In this format 3 notes work as one coherent layer, creating piquant dynamism that keeps the opening compact and balanced.
The heart and base are read as a continuous motion from lift to depth, which gives the structure continuity.
The internal accord map is shaped by these accords: Floral, Wood and Spicy without random overlap. The profile is feminine, which makes the scent profile easier to read.
Taken together WDS 002/FRV sounds complete from start to finish — the start forms character, the middle layer carries the identity, while the drydown anchors the memory. These are the scent structures best experienced on skin.
