Lightly Bloom 2018

Picked up this fragrance because it was sold as a combo with Nude Bouquet which I wanted to try because people said it's a dupe for Blooming Bouquet. The initial spray smells alcoholly but on skin it does smell like Blooming Bouquet. On clothes this smells more like a shampoo and the projection is not that great. The pros of Blooming Bouquet is that it smells the same on me whether its on clothes and on skin. Don't be put off by the initial spray though, the first spray for this fragrance is not anything to write home about but I can tell you that the dry down on skin of this is so GOOD (at least if you love Blooming Bouquet). So if you're in the market for a Blooming Bouquet dupe, you might want to pick this up, or maybe the Nude Bouquet which is much more similar to Blooming Bouquet. Longevity wise, this lasts for about 3 hours on skin, but slightly longer on clothes.

This is one of my favourite scents out there. It smells like pure class and wealth, like a Range Rover mum running errands who always smells of wealth and luxury, but is having a casual effortless day. You won’t like this if you don’t like florals but you’re missing out coz you should like this😂. Everyone should have a fresh dainty clean aquatic floral in their collection and scent-wise this is one of the best out there. Which is why it’s such a shame this range performs so weakly, maybe 4 hours max before it’s barely there anymore. But I will that I think projection is decent when it is on you, but this is definitely one you need to top up. I don’t really care though because I love the smell so much and it makes me feel so beautiful and expensive when I’m wearing it. I would still recommend it because I really like it😊

This beauty needs more recognition! Going in I knew that Zara fragrances are not usually ground breaking in novelty but I loved this so much. I over sprayed the first time, thinking it wasn't going to last long anyway because of its fresh floral nature and given my history with Zara fragrances in general. Fast forward 8 hours and I can still feel it radiating off my body in a rather lovely watery peony veil and I just love it. It's the kind of sillage and lasting power I expected Jo Malone to have. Oh well, I'm definitely not complaining about this awesome cheapie. Highly recommend.

Yes, this perfume is very basic, and the text on the box says "I'm delicious and tender", and yes it is. It's nice, but it hasn't evoken my hoarder-instinct, - yet?, - and l have a lot of perfumes in the same bunch to spend, ex Ma Vie of Boss, and a tester of Versaces Bright Crystal, but all of them are just only nice perfumes, but: -My little LB smells wondeful layered with ex Blossom of Clean, and MV smells even better mixed with LB!

What a beautiful girly scent, I love it! Very light, reminds me of a beautiful summer afternoon walk in the sun. My nose picks up the peony most, which I love because it’s one of my favorite smells. The longevity is moderate, around 4 to 5 hours on clothes if you spray enough. Sillage is moderate to intimate, which both makes sense and fits the atmosphere of such a flirtatious yet shy fragrance.

Great watery floral. Smell more expensive than it is. Good "clean girl" perfume that's a perfect cheapie you can throw on to go run errant or to bed. You can also wear it to work but you'll have to reaply durring the day. Go to zara and get the bundle of lightly blooming and nude bouquet for 20 euro. You get two 100ml perfumes that smell sophisticated for about 10 euro each.

My currently favorite floral spring-time scent. It's floral and fresh fragrance. Sillage is strong, you shouldn't spray over 3-4. It lingers +6 hours on my skin. On clothes, it stays more than 6 hours. It has really good quality than other perfumes in Zara. The bottle design is simple and not low quality. It's suitable for carrying in bag

It's a beautiful aquatic floral scent... Light and airy.... Not at all offensive... crowd pleasing.... office wear types... Doesn't stay for very long but cheap eau de parfum ($30 for 100ml in Aus) and smells great, so can spray loads. Pretty packaging, great for a gift.

Very clean and fresh smells expensive dont over spray jut 2 sprays will give you a very fresh happy feeling ...very good compared to the price it worth every penny

i've heard that this is a dupe of miss dior blooming bouquet which is my signature scent! but i've also heard that about zara's nude bouquet, and they're actually both pretty close. personally i think nude bouquet is closest for me, it's a 95% dupe whereas this is like 85-90% similar. and they both dupe different aspects of the perfume. NB has that comforting warm wrap of musk in the base with the florals on top, whereas lightly bloom sits lighter on the skin and leans more into the freshness of the florals. i like them both a lot! and i think they're both great alternatives to BB. i'm not a huge fan of the opening on this one though, there's a slightly unpleasant note for about 5 minutes but it goes away completely away after that. it reminds me a bit of an avon perfume to start with, maybe the today tomorrow always line which is quite floral. but i like a lot of that line! and it settles into something a bit more delicate. it is quite watery and ever so slightly soapy but i think it sits very nicely on the skin. NB feels like a warm blanket, LB is more for a pretty day out in a seaside town. i like it a lot, but i think i slightly prefer nude bouquet. still a really good fragrance and incredible for the price!

This delicate beauty is v v close to Miss Dior Blooming Bouquet, but this one is watery while Dior feels musky The name lightly bloom is so so apt, i mean it literally feels like wearing a scent of a freshly bloomed pink peonies in a water fountain... Amazing how they've kept it so light and sophisticated Can be worn in spring and summers during daytime everyday... doesn't matter how young in age you are.. 15 or 65.... Its that delicate and feminine that it's evergreen! Istg imma hoard this cuz zara keeps discontinuing their most bful juices Since it's an aquatic floral, it doesn't last over 3 hours on me in Indian heat, so the roller ball travel version glass bottle is a must to keep in the bag but hey I'm not complaining cuz the frag is just so uplifting 😘🤌🏻

I will start by honestly saying that Zara fragrances don’t usually agree with me. I tend to get a synthetic blast from them that is so strong I can taste it. I’m not going to say that is fragrance does not have that quality. It does. But it quickly disappears and with all honesty this is the only Zara fragrance (so far) that I have enjoyed. I didn’t vote because I can detect Lotus, Peony, and musk all quite equally and it is a lovely combination. Lightly Bloom is a perfect name for it as it IS light. Delicate. Airy. But water too. I love this pretty light, watery scent! If you are looking to try Zara fragrance, I’d recommend this one to start. This would also be a nice gift I think.

This comes in a bottle with a light mint colored cap now (Spring 2022), although the notes seem to remain the same. I thought Versace Bright Crystal was the most Pantene shampoo-like fragrance I've come across yet, but Lightly Bloom strips it down to a whole new level of linearity. It's a polite shower-fresh floral, minus the sweeter, fruity opening notes that its department store counterparts are usually embellished with. The musk base here is merely a suggestion. This is detectable on me for about 2 hours tops (including the skin scent phase), so you might want to grab the 30ml to chuck in your bag if you plan on wearing this as a "going out" scent.

This is lovely! It's not groundbreaking or very nuanced, but it's pretty and smells nice. After two hours it's fading significantly though. I probably would not purchase a bottle, even at a discount. Lightly Bloom is similar to Dior Blooming Bouquet, but definitely smells cheap in comparison. I honestly would rather save up for Miss Dior Blooming Bouquet which is a bit different, better in my opinion, and not too expensive for a designer fragrance. However, if I were a teenager, I would probably love to collect as many Zara fragrances as I could get my hands on. As an adult, however, I'll use this sample, but move on to something more substantial.

If this fragrance were a person, it would be a cute petite girl in a floral dress and white sneakers - she won't take your breath away with her beauty but is still quite charming and very pleasant to look at. A reviewer before me compared it to DKNY Be Delicious Fresh Blossom, and I agree they're similar, only I like this one better - DKNY has this rather sharp rosy note that is a little off-putting to me. Sadly, as is the case with most of the floral, fresh fragrances, this does not last very long, but with this price, reapplying is not a problem.

Fresh floral, inoffensive, feminine. For me, this is a close enough dupe of Dior Blooming Bouquet, it lacks the citrusyness of the original but that note only lasts a few minutes. I've been eyeing Dior and I couldn't commit because it only lasts one hour on me. Zara isn't strong either but it lasts 3-5 hours for much less money. I'm very surprised that people recommend Nude Bouquet as a Dior BB dupe because IMO they are not even similar. Zara NB is much sweeter and heavier, while Zara LB captures the airiness and freshness of the original.

Simple, safe and straightforward, fresh aquatic scent. Less floral than Nude Bouquet. Good for the gym or a hot summer day, cute and pretty, less girly than NB but still very delicate, with no depth at all. If you're looking for an affordable, basic fresh scent for everyday use or to layer with some more complex fragrance, this is a very good option. Sillage is nonexistant unless you overspray, which this scent will allow you to do without becoming offensive. Stays on my skin for about 3 hours, and on clothes for 6 or 7.

I got the rollerball and it's very pretty. It smells very clean, fresh and simple. I think that nobody will hate this crisp and aquatic floral, so it's an awesome blind buy or gift. I also love the box! Longevity is fine for such a soft scent, it lingers for 4-5 hours. It stays pretty close to the skin, but I think that if you spray it in your hair and clothes five or six times, you can obtain easily a moderate sillage. As all Zara perfumes, it's super cheap, so you can overspray without fear.

I haven't pulled this out pretty much since I got it, but I just smelled it and it gave such a vivid scent memory. This reminds me of my mom when I was really young, back when she wore Clinique Happy and worked at Bloomingdale's and I'd tag along to work with her. Now I don't think this smells like Happy, so I think this just straight up reminds me of a department store in the 90s, but I mean that in a good way! It's got that clean and nostalgic feel to it and I really like smelling it.

Light indeed. Lightly Bloom sits very close to the skin but is an undeniably pretty scent. Like walking in a garden near the seaside as light bursts of marine air mix with roses and irises. A tiny tiny bit more synthetic than the other bottle I got in this two pack from Zara (Nude Bouquet) but still really natural. No cloying sweetness here. Musk is just detectable, but it takes a back seat to the florals. Kinda reminds me of Diptyque's Philosykos? Just a bit?
