In a nutshell

Description & review snapshot

Pacsun I Heart The Sun opens with a crisp pop of Granny Smith apple and green violet leaf. White gardenia petals quickly soften the tart blood orange top, while clean musk and sandalwood keep the dry-down grounded for warm summer beach days and casual weekend wear.

Reviews →

Zara Soir is a green floral fragrance anchored by a quiet, clean woodiness. It opens with the crisp, almost metallic snap of violet leaf before settling into a creamy gardenia heart. The scent dries down into a subtle cedar and sandalwood base, making it a reliable choice for casual daytime spring wear.
