Golden Decade Sweet

This is a flanker done well in my opinion: similar enough to recognize it as a flanker, but also different enough to where you might want to have both. You do have that orange blossom and lavender opening that is really close to the original Golden Decade, but I do also recognize that note that in Zara’s fragrance world is considered “praline”. I got a 30 ml bottle for 7 euros, so I’m really happy with that purchase. It is indeed a sweeter variation of the OG. Like others have noted, it’s less potent, so make of that what you will, whether you feel like you need it or not.

Really beautiful. Definitely quite sweet but it's perfect if you like sweet gourmands. Smells edible without smelling artificial. I'm not the biggest fan of the opening but after around 15 minutes, the dry down is really nice. However, it does not last. Maybe 2 hours maximum when oversprayed. Very good value though I highly recommend this, it's just annoying to have to reapply so frequently.

I’m mad that y’all are sleeping on this one. I don’t know what it is about it, it just smells right. Kinda orangey and fun and sweet. A step up from the OG golden decade which just doesn’t have that same sweetness.

I sprayed this on my wrist in a Zara store yesterday and, after two showers, I can still smell it! 😮 I like this better than the original too, this is sweeter and less mossy. I might purchase this, especially if it goes on sale at some point.

I don't understand why Zara released this perfume. Apparently there are pralines and tonka added, but these notes do not bring anything new and it is basically the same scent as the classic Golden Decade. Maybe it's a bit sweeter in the base, but these differences are irrelevant to the overall character. If someone has the basic Golden Decade, they can easily skip the Sweet version. The beginning is luminous, cool, I catch a lot of white flowers mixed with soapy lavender, then it gets warmer. Perfumes, just like regular Golden Decade, totally feminine. This is not unisex. Despite the current sweetness, I perceive this scent as very raw, even elegant, but also too soapy and personally I don't like it, but I appreciate the good quality. Longevity and projection are good, but Sweet is probably a bit weaker than the basic version. 6/10

I thought I was really going to like this but after putting it on all I can smell is baby powder. Not a fan.

i didn’t like this one personally. i’m not really a golden decade girl anyway but i decided to buy it anyway after it smelt okay in the shop and i thought ‘hey i might like it since i like sweet perfumes and everyone loves golden decade’. unfortunately this one just didn’t work well with my body chemistry. it smelled soapy and a little boozy to me and i didn’t like it. i didn’t get any gourmand notes and it just smelt very... heavy. i ended up throwing it away after using half of the 80ml bottle and letting it sit for months since i still didn’t like it after all that time. longevity was decent though, which sucked for me since it kept lingering even though i hated the smell 😭

To me this is identical to libre. I've only had this fragrance for 6 months but I find myself reaching for it more and more. I will be repurchasing. Amazing for any occasion- so classy and feminine and sweet. I don't get any of the baby powder or soapy or artificial smells other reviews speak of. However dosent last very long maybe 3 hours, I just bring her with me to respray :p

I quite like this! With the original Golden Decade, the jasmine/orange blossom are a bit overwhelming for me but in this version they're lighter and the sweetness of the praline/vanilla/tonka comes through without being heavy, which makes it perfect for springtime. The original lasts longer though.. so it's a toss up.

I prefer the original Golden Decade, but this one is still nice. It’s pleasantly sweet, but it lacks the elegance and depth of the original. A softer, more playful version — just not as refined.
