Zara Vetiver Pamplemousse Elixir is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2025, created by Jo Malone. Vetiver Pamplemousse Elixir opens with Grapefruit, settles into a heart of Mandarin, and dries down to a base of Amber and Vetiver. Zara's Vetiver Pamplemousse Elixir carries a Favourite verdict, a citrus-led wear.

This Zara Elixir is a surprisingly potent citrus bomb that delivers a juicy, photorealistic grapefruit opening, though some find the drydown a step down from the original. It's a love-it-or-hate-it affair once those punchy top notes fade into an ambiguous, sometimes 'floor cleaner' base.

Its bright, energetic citrus profile makes it ideal for casual and sporty wear, with reviewers frequently highlighting its invigorating nature for daily use or holidays. Despite its strong projection, it's not well-suited for formal events due to its overtly playful vibe, and its intensity could be too much for an office setting.

About

Exploding with an ultra-realistic burst of fresh grapefruit, this Elixir quickly softens into the sweet, inviting essence of mandarin. The vibrant citrus heart is underpinned by a subtle, creamy amber warmth, with only a whisper of its namesake vetiver offering an earthy counterpoint rather than a dominant woody foundation.
