Blanc Ensoleille

I have been on the hunt for the perfect coconut scent, and this immediately took its place on that shelf! To my nose, this is an incredibly clean and fresh, but simultaneously deep coconut scent with a tiny hint of sweet pineapple or yuzu fruit (rather than bergamot) in the background. There is something very light and airy in the smell, like a warm, salty breeze from the ocean, but there is nothing hard or metallic in it. It is soft, clean and somehow very natural. It almost feels like a watercolor painting of the most beautiful beach. I really, really love this. It is also perfectly unisex. Although it smells like sunlight, I think it will be perfect in the winter as well, paired with a soft wool sweater. If I try to find other perfumes this reminds me of, I can think of Estée Lauder Bronze Goddes Eau Fraiche, Guerlain Coconut Fizz and even Body Shop Coconut & Yuzu as sharing something similar. Compared to those, however, this is a very natural, bright and clean smelling with no florals. This is one of the very few fragrances that I immediately got a backup bottle for. :)

I have had this perfume for some times now. This was one of the most complimented fragrances I ever had. It lasts enough even though you need 4-5 sprays minimum, however for the price you can spray without thinking about it. Very lactonic, coconuty and kinda salty. Very relaxing and clean scent. Safe for work or daily wear. For the sunny days. Composed beautifully by a big nose like Giacobetti. The way it lingers in the air is incredible. I think it is suitable for younger men even though the perfume is very feminine itself. In a woman it would smell okay but not something special. So I would suggest it for men around 18-28 in daytime in spring or summer. Lets hope that they will bring it again in stores.

I blind bought all 4 fragrances from Olivia Giacobetti's Zara collab as I trust her nose (Ofresia is my one and only). I'm here to say that to me this is a way more wearable version of a Blanche Bete (don't take me wrong, they are not the same, but I'm getting a similar vibe here). Blanche Bete is definitely more heavy, it's kind of smoky and have these sharp tuberose and cacao notes. I can't stand it after a while, even though it is a beautiful fragrance, I must admit. Blanc Ensoleille on the other hand is brighter, lighter, sunnier. I can wear it instantly without getting tired. Has no heaviness or florals, also coconut is kinda transparent and not overwhelming or sweet. This is a gem!

One of the best creamy coconut fragrance I have ever smelled. Very unisex, very natural, smells exactly as you can imagine according to notes although it smells much stronger than I expected - reminds me immediately of Le Beau Le Parfum I was using a lot this summer - just less complex and masculine. Performance seems to be good as well, but now I'm wearing it only 4 hours and I don't judge Zara fragrances performance just after opening a new bottle as it's performance tends to improve over time. I like it overall, I like it a lot! Edit: longevity on my skin is about 12h - I could still tell it's there close to skin after 16 hours

The bergamot almost smells like lime, zesty but sweet. The musk is super soft and clean and the coconut is creamy but unsweetened. Gorgeous! A little bit masculine leaning unisex. This is a very calm, clean and fresh summer scent. Not the one for the beach, but the one for running errands or go to work on those unbearably hot summer days in the city. It projects really good on my skin and last for a good 6-7 hours.
