Crispy Gardenia

I’m dying at amandavolpe’s review. Too funny 😂 Apparently Bubblegum juice is a hot seller. Smell Kilian Love don’t be shy. Total bubblegum juice to me. I don’t necessarily dislike bubblegum juice, but I don’t know how I feel about wearing it. The question is...does it smell like Hubba Bubba or Bubblicious? 😂

Smells exactly like Black Opium by YSL & has great projection, lasting power. Can’t go wrong especially for the amazing price. Another score from Zara!

Sampled this at one of their stores and it smells like candy and cough syrup. White Gardenia is also very sugary. Disappointing. I get the feeling Zara slaps random names on their perfume bottles and proceeds to fill them up with bubblegum juice.

I tried Black Opium Neon on my left and Crispy Gardenia on my right wrist so I will write the comparison. Top to middle, they are different. ZARA Crispy Gardenia: very airy floral fruity opening. Top to middle are different with Black Opium Neon, no bitter/acidness. But middle to the last this became very very similar to BON, but lighter. When CG reached to the end, can be noticed something metallic behind. BON has more depth. Crispy Gardenia is daytime version of BON. But sorry to say it, it is cheap compared to BON. Longevity was more than 12 hours on my skin, sillage was average. YSL Black Opium Neon: opening is bitter citrus, fruit and coffee grounds mixed somehow it might be cloying for the first half hour. ( Orange peel and coffee grounds are very strong ) Coffee note stayed in the background with orange blossom and coffee fade a little by little. At the last the scent became more sweet and rich. Suitable for night. Longevity was more than 16 hours on my skin, sillage was strong.

Smells interesting. Yes it reminded me of black opium. Don't know if I would say bubblegummy though at all, it actually smells a little sour like black opium 2/3 and 1/3 liiike...Nina Ricci Luna Blossom. It's fine. I blind bought it but I don't know if I would've bought it if I could've smelled it first.
