Orchid 2019

I smell fig, apple, and peach. Vanilla is at minimum doze. Orchid, first of all most of orchids have no specific smell and even odorless. Only few rare expensive orchids do have scent. So don’t expect accurate interpretation of orchid in perfumery. Back to Zara Orchid, it’s a cheerful fruity fragrance with a hint of sourness, shampoo-ish character, not flowery nor vanilla centric. I rarely fall in love with this scent profile, I think I attracted because this perfume reminds me of the times I spent in the Netherlands a while ago. Not that it’s typically Netherlands smell, but I vaguely remember using a local brand shampoo that smells like this. It was a sweet memorable period in my life and the smell of Zara Orchid somehow associated with it.

A clean, fresh, beautiful scent. It is totally unrelated to orchid--orchid has no smell, and I tend to link orchid flowers with rich, sophisticated scents, like tuberose or iris. The opening smells like peaches and green apples, with some spirit-lifting lemon zest. The sweetness of the vanilla in the dry down brings more balance. Very fruity and delicious, smelling it makes my mouth water... It smells more like you just had a shower than you used a perfume. The longevity is decent on me, and it doesn't project a lot. It's simple but not boring. I think it's one of the best perfumes from ZARA.

This is almost an exact dupe of VS Bombshell. It's a fresh, girly scent with a citrusy punch. This isn't an in-your-face type of floral, and there's nothing overwhelming about it. A nice sillage with weak longevity, but I don't mind a respray here and there. There's something refreshing about topping up your scent with this on a hot summer's day.

It's one of the lightest perfumes I own, love it though! There is a "fresh" sweetness to it, perfect for summer days.. the only downside is that Zara perfumes don't last that long but I always have a small one with me to reapply 👌

This fragrance reminds me of VS bombshell seriously. I like the citrus and sweet smell. Not a big fan but it's just okay to me.
