Les Heures Passent (Into The Joyful)

This is such a beautiful bergamot-lemon citrus, with hints of ginger. Pretty photorealistic. I don't really get any mandarin, which is listed on the packaging. Very impressive performance -- especially for a citrus at this price point. It's simple and mostly linear, with an eventual drydown where you can smell how it's grounded by creamier tonka, amber, and a bit of musk. But to me it's almost entirely about the bergamot, lemon, and a little ginger. One of my favorites in the line. Bought the full 100ml for $36 and it's definitely worth it. Will be a staple summer citrus.

LOVE this scent! I bought it in Singapore, finished half the bottle a year later travelled to Europe looking in any Zara I could go to, and they don't sell it anymore! Also read in the reviews (thanks all!) that its similar to "Sunrise On The Red Sand Dunes" but this is not selling anymore either. I've since managed to get another bottle from a forum.. but.. using it sparingly! I live in an extremely hot and humid climate, this perfume does not last long, but it is a great spray for a refresher through the day!

Agree with oli4db, this and Sunrise on The Red Sand Dunes are identical. I can't smell the difference between each other, and quite frankly, this last a bit longer than Sunrise on The Red Sand Dunes. A lot of people tend to smell the different maybe because this marketed towards woman, so it seems like they smell more a floral/feminine notes on this but imho, this is same juice but different bottle. Picked this up for $22 and I don't regret a single penny spent on this bad boy.

This one is interesting and one of my favourites front this collection. It reminds me of Ingenious Ginger by Goldfield & Banks for sure. But like most citrusy scent this one is the most fleeting of the collection, definitely helps to increase longevity if you layer it with Blanc-a-Porter from the same collection. It’s a joyful, optimistic spring/summer scent.

Yes, Sunrise On The Red Sand Dunes & Les Heures Passent (both from Zara) smell identical. Both are very similar to LV’s Imagination, maybe a 75-80% likeness. I used to love Sunrise & LHP both equally, that is until Zara came up with Sunrise Intense, making a great fragrance even better!! LHP went on 50% off back in 2024 and I rushed to stock up.
