05 Woman Gold

I tried this out at the Zara store the other day and enjoyed it enough to take home with me. I initially thought I had bought Woman Gold 2021, which is a dupe for Lady Million, and I was perplexed that Woman Gold 2021 didn't contain floral notes, as I was sensing white and yellow flowers in addition to some gourmand-like notes of caramel and general sweetness, with some spice adding depth. Then I stumbled upon this fragrance page (for Woman Gold 05 Dress Time) and realize this is the one I purchased. I'm not sure if this is a dupe for Lady Million -- I am not familiar with that perfume -- but it has similar notes (Jasmine, Honey/Sweetness, Caramel. GW05 doesnt have a patchouli note.). I love this scent. I'm typically not a fan of gourmands and "sweet" fragrances that smell like food, but this has enough going on in the background to make it smell inedible! I'm not sure what this is supposed to be a dupe for Usually this type of fragrance is too much of one thing for me -- too sweet, too much white floral, too much overpowering spice -- and if it's nearly right, it tends to have a fake patchouli note that ends up driving me up the wall. This frag is surprisingly well blended for an affordable Zara scent, and doesnt have a nasty patchouli note in it like a lot of floral/sweet counterparts. I very much enjoy this fragrance, but it doesn't perform well. I'm normally pretty conservative with applying fragrances (one or two sprays on chest or neck), but I'm much more generous with this one and it still neither projects nor lasts long on me. I think I'm limited to a very modest projection and only a couple of hours before I need to reapply. For the price point, one cant expect much more, I suppose.

Smells really good. I get the peach and caramel the most. I have to overspray tho to get any long wear out of it.
