Fleuriste A Paris

This perfume is way too underrated, I'm so glad I stumbled onto it and blind bought it. Despite the lower price compare to other perfumes, this perfume performs like a high-end lady- the notes are delicately balanced, an elegant, sophisticated floral scent in the most pleasant way. I'm not usually into floral scents as I prefer sweeter ones but this Zara bottle changed my mind. It sorta reminds me of Elie Saab Le Parfum EDT, but with less honey and fresher vibes. Lily of the valley is prominent in here, not sure why it wasn't listed in the notes. I don't get chocolate but that's okay, hear me out, this actually smells better than the notes listed above, this is beautiful, really really underrated. I'd proudly wear this and stand in line with other women wearing Chanel or Dior, this one can easily fit in there and they won't even believe it if you tell them it's Zara, dont trust me? Try it.

This review applies to more than this particular fragrance; but in this case; The fact that Zara can create a fragrance like Fleuriste a Paris and sell it for around 25 bucks just shows how overpriced and insane fragrance prices have become, let alone the madness of niche. Sure it's not as nuanced, and not as rich as a Serge Lutens or Dior, but it smells of decent quality, the green notes and fresh flowers are crisp, there is a very tiny hint of musky chocolate in the drydown, the bottle is very heavy with clean glass.. So what are we really paying for when a niche brand asks 200, 300 or 400$ for a fragrance? we all know synthetic ingredients cost nothing. I'm done purchasing insanely overpriced stuff. I almost gone a year now without new big brands perfume buy. I just bought me this Zara for a fraction of the price instead. scent: 7/10 longevity: 5/10 sillage; 5/10

This is a very green and airy scent suitable for spring. Lily of the valley is the most pronounced note in this piece, I wonder why it doesn't show up in the pyramid. Imagine discovering a secret evergreen garden in the morning with lilies soaked in dew. Very fresh and natural smelling. The lily of the valley, being the center piece, is a little bit sharp for those who don't handle white florals well. This caused me a bad migraine due to my skin being upset with these types of white floral freshies. Do test before buying to find out how your skin reacts with the scent.

Very springish. Very subtle, nice. A whole valley of green, crispy lilies-of-the-valley. Nothing to do with the pyramid. Actually, most Zara's perfumes' pyramids are away from reality((((

Smells expensive and classic, maybe too classic meaning a bit oldish too, but i still like it. Not on myself but the creation itself i appreciate

which dupe of the original fragrance?
