Zara × Jo Malone created a series of city-inspired fragrances and reimagined them as makeup with a gel perfume in a brush format. Optimized for travel and quick, precise applications, this brush-on perfume doesn't leave a telltale trace once swiped on, only a scent trail that uplevels presence with freshness and elegance.
In all, there are three city-inspired fragrances to experience, each inspired by a different urban energy. Energetically New York is a spicy woody scent, with notes of cardamom, jasmine, and sandalwood; Fashionably London takes the form of a musky floral with bergamot, rose, and musk; and Elegantly Tokyo unites white flowers, jasmine, and akigalawood to create a memorable woody floral essence.
Thanks to their unique format, these brush-on gel perfumes are perfect for touching up or layering to create a unique signature scent.
