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.

i got this as a "dupe" for VS Bombshell since it's my go-to summer scent for the humid weather i live in, however the longevity of Bombshell is a solid 30 mins, so i thought, Zara usually makes fragrances that last a moderate amount of time, i should try pairing it with Orchid. unfortunately on me it's a little too citrusy? in summertime sweet fragrances can be cloying however Bombshell has the perfect middle ground that Orchid wasn't able to capture imo. i just got Hibiscus and found what i was looking for in Orchid, yet i wouldn't call it a Bombshell dupe. plus the bottle is cuter so i recommend you check it out !

I got this as a blind buy with the Gardenia set. At first, I was disappointed. I heard it was a dupe for VS Bombshell which I tested in the store. When I received Orchid, I didn't find it a dupe at all. It's growing on me. It's a pleasant, fresh. Citrus Floral. I was looking for something similar to BBW A Thousand Wishes in a Perfume and this is similar enough that I am happy. A Thousand Wishes is a little more powder floral and less citrus. For summer I think Orchid is a winner.

Another shampoo-like fragrance from Zara, I got a mini from a sample set this year. The opening is very citrusy (kinda reminded me of some cheap deodorants for men at first...) but it quickly becomes softer and sweeter. I see myself wearing it for casual occasions during the day, it's very fresh and clean so it will work great during the summer. It's nice but nothing unique so I will probably use up my mini and that's it.

Cheerful kind of fragrance. Smells nothing like orchid or vanilla though. To me it smells like fresh bergamot with a hint of floral powdery so it's suitable for outdoor activities. The sillage is so so and definitely not long lasting. This is something I'll consider to wear on a morning/evening picnic in sunny-humid weather even though need to reapply every 2-3h. All in all, still worth the price

I got this in the 30ml scent with Gardenia. I agree with the other reviewer, this is a fresh scent. Is not very long lasting on skin, sillage is moderate at best from the beginning. In my opinion, this is a classy everyday scent. It's clean, reminds me of fabric softener, and works for women of all ages I think. For reference, my mother in her 50s smelled this and fell in love.

At first, it smells very similar to Victoria’s Secret Bombshell, which I really like. Unfortunately, it doesn’t last long. It’s gone after about 2–3 hours, and the projection is quite soft. After a while, it starts to smell more like a room spray or air freshener than a perfume, which a few people also pointed out.

i'm not really a fan of the opening. it's way too citrusy for my liking. you can definitely smell the bergamot. once it starts to settle into your skin, it's more tolerable. the orchid is very light and i barely smell vanilla. it does last a good 2-3 hours... i wouldn't really purchase this one again though.

Very light and bright feeling - it's verging on sharp at the opening from the citrus. It does feel somewhat of a generic citrus/floral scent, but in a good way in that it isn't offensive or too surprising. For the price, it's definitely worth it, compared to other generic citrus/floral scents.

I really love this scent, it's everything I want in a fresh summer scent! I only wish it lasted longer; it's a continuous disappointment I have that when I find a scent I love, it's obviously not right for my skin as it fades away into a memory too quickly!

Apparently this is a dupe for VS Bombshell, which I don't have and have never smelt. It's light, fresh and floral perfect for daily wear, non offensive and quite "classic" smelling, it's nothing out of the box so I'd say most would like it

I'm shocked I haven't read anyone else saying this yet, but as much as I like this fragrance it reminds me too much of whatever air freshener they pump into Goodwill. Can't do it.

Nice and fresh, kind of smells like shampoo or hairspray but in a nice way. Always spray this on myself when I get out of the shower. Definitely a daytime/summery scent.

Classic everyday floral lightness, somewhat powdery. Layers really well with something more 'sugary' to make it heavier! Great for casual office daytime wear.

To me this smells like Marc Jacobses Disy, it's very girly, young, fresh and flowery. Really good gift for a young girl or somebody who enjoys flower markets.

i love this one! its my second favorite zara perfume so far. the only problem is that the longevity and sillage is shit (average for zara). 7/10
