Fleur d'Oranger

I got my first bottle in early Summer of 2022 and all I sprayed back then was this fragrance. I recently got my hands on my second bottle, after weeks of waiting for it to be in stock again. They’ve changed the bottle, not sure why but it still looks nice though. I’m not sure if it’s the fact that it’s been a while since I’ve smelled this perfume or what but I feel like it’s a tad bit sharper and soapy than it used to be. As far as I know, they did not reformulate it although it’d say they did change it a bit, at least according to my nose and scent memory. It’s still beautiful nonetheless, I’d say it’s quite extraordinary in its simplicity. It’s linear and potent. I think it’s perfect for spring and summer, could be an elegant and rather inoffensive every day scent. I really really like it. It definitely does not smell like a Zara perfume (and technically it’s not). I’d say definitely give it a try If you like orange blossom and don’t mind the soapyness :) Edit: False alarm, I think the sharpness of the opening made me think they’ve changed the formula but after an hour or so, as It starts to develop, I can tell it smells the same as the one in the old bottle. Orange blossom, powdery/soapy ylang ylang and class. Gorgeous!

➡️ "FLEUR D'ORANGER" by Zara Concentration: Eau de Parfum Trend: Unisex Seasons: Spring/Summer Occasions: Very hot days, lunches or walks Low cost As often happens, Zara's underrated fragrance production also this time relies (exactly as any more famous and expensive brand does) on a very high-level author, the well-known perfumer @jomalonelondon. In an almost anonymous bottle, but fortunately already redesigned in the new upcoming reformulations, we find a joy of Eau de Parfum that really tastes like summer. The meeting of the classic neroli with the hint of orange blossom reveals overall a wonderful and clean smell like few others. Although it may appear more feminine due to its extreme delicacy, it is impossible not to consider it unisex in all respects, considering the sensation of unquestionable freshness that it manages to convey around the wearer. Good durability and projection combine with an excellent quality-price ratio, which therefore guarantees an infallible purchase. If you are looking for a single perfume for the entire summer you have just found it. Trust me.

I'm very surprised that this is just as nice as Fragonard's Mon Oranger at a much cheaper price. I actually prefer this as it is a little deeper, headier thanks to the ylang, and not as sheer and light as Mon Oranger. And though I like Prada Infusion de Fleur d'Oranger, which is another orange blossom fragrance I considered purchasing a fb, this smells better to me and outperforms that too. At least I can smell this without resorting to sniffing my wrists. The true test will come in the height of the summer, which is my favorite time to wear neroli and orange blossom fragrances, and whether this can stand up to high humidity and heat. Prada can't. Mon Oranger can. I'm hoping this can too. Though this does open up with neroli and a small dose of ylang for depth, in the end, it is all about the orange blossom and it is simple and beautifully done. There is a reason Jo Malone's fragrances are so popular. She seems to be the queen of simple, elegant perfumes. Well, she did a fine job with this, as it smells every bit as nice as something from her own line. Bravo, Ms. Malone, you did an excellent job!

This reminds me of Artisan Pure by John Varvatos. Not an exact copy of course, Artisan Pure is much higher quality and deeper regarding the presence of other notes. But the over-arcing smell, which actually also reminds me of suncream a bit is present here as well. This is a very easy to wear, super fresh perfume and it even lasts more than 4 hours on my skin, which is ok for a fresh and cheap summer scent. The opening half hour to an hour it even radiates within arms length, before quickly becoming a pure skin scent after that. If you spray this on your clothes, it might last you an entire day. But that said, the Emotions line is by far the most expensive from Zara. At about 26.-€ per 90ml bottle and it is designated as an Eau de Parfum concentration, so you should expect this kind of performance, as it is advancing into a territory in which you can sometimes pick up heavily discounted designer fragrances or underrated cheapies as well.

I have a vials set of this collection from Zara, and this one is my favorite cheapie now! I bought a 40ml bottle after tried it for a while. Totally agree with @Maiazo that this perfume is real springs day in a bottle. If you like a simple, monogamy neroli scent, this perfume is for you. Neroli is my favorite white flower, so it gave me lot of joys while using! But if you are the type who like experiencing the changing of complex scents in a perfume, this could be a boring thing to you. IMO the longervity of spray version is weaker than the vial which apply directly to skin. The vial version is long lasting in my wrist - about 7 hours, but when I use spraying bottle it’ll fade after 4 hours and need to re-spray.
