Zara Nocturnal Velvet is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2024, created by Jérôme Epinette. Nocturnal Velvet opens with Peony, Pink Pepper, and Strawberry, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Gardenia, Plum, and Raspberry, and dries down to a base of Solar Notes, Musk, and Ambroxan. Zara's Nocturnal Velvet carries a Statement verdict, a fruity-led wear.

Zara's Nocturnal Velvet is a divisive strawberry bomb. Some find it a surprisingly potent, complimented fruity-floral gem that punches above its price point, while others can't get past a synthetic, headache-inducing sweetness.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual

With its long-lasting performance and moderate sillage, this fragrance is best suited for casual outings and dates where its bold, sweet character can shine without overwhelming. Its intensity makes it less ideal for formal settings or the office, where a more understated scent is usually preferred.

About

Don't let the 'nocturnal' name fool you; this is a bright, sweet affair. It opens with a bold, almost fizzy strawberry and a hint of peony and pink pepper, quickly moving into a rich heart where plum and raspberry mingle with a subtle jasmine and gardenia. The dry down is a warm, musky embrace, underpinned by solar notes and a clean ambroxan, adding an unexpected depth to the fruity sweetness.
