Pink Flambé

Sweet soft warm gorgeous scent that reflects hot pink; think pink hard candies, a small fruity ice cream, gummy bears, white whipped cream, and gardenias all over musk and cashmere. It's not juvenile or cheap smelling. It's gorgeous, but I wish the longevity and silage was better. I have found Zara fragrances do improve with time so maybe this will happen also with my beloved Pink Flambe hidden gem. I love the rounded plump cubist bottles. I bought my bottle in 2023 and the see through bottle says Zara Weekend 01 on it under the name of the perfume; Pink Flambe. The notes as given by Zara online seem more on point than what is listed here on Fragrantica. Zara's descriptor is: A fun and bold feminine fragrance with sweet floral accents of rose, jasmine, and orchid wrapped in the warmth of vanilla, woody notes, and amber. A seductive, addictive, and irresistible fragrance. Side note; I sprayed this on after a long lane swim in the pool and after a shower still had a tinge of chlorine on my skin and when that chlorine mixed with pink flambé I very pleasantly got a Litchi note!

I was looking for a sweeter fragrance for a change, went to sephora and tried the new gorgeous gardenia perfume which I loved but I was hesitant to buy because of the price, I sprayed it and left the shop to see how long it would last, after 15 minutes the scent was almost gone. Then I went to Zara to try my luck , and found pink flambe which smelled very similar to gorgeous gardenia, but much softer, bough it and I've been wearing it a lot. It smells really soft and sweet,is definitely a skin scent . Few days ago,out of curiosity I got a sample of viva la juicy and actually prefer pink flame over it, VLJ is screechy and caused me a mild headache , is much sweeter and harsh and lasts about the same. So between those 3 I much prefer pink flambe , is cheap, softer and much more gourmand than VLJ and gorgeous gardenia.

I have the opaque fuchsia flanker, and as much as I hate to admit it, it does resemble Viva La Juicy in the opening. That said, it's different enough though. I owned both, and I actually hate Viva La Juicy because it gives me an instant headache. Had to return it. This one, on the other hand, I absolutely love. I think the biggest difference is in the base notes, which are absolutely magical in Pink Flambé. I've been using this perfume for my small business and in all of my Vinted orders, and I always get messages asking what perfume I use in my packages.

Top notes - rose, jasmine, and orchid Base notes - vanilla, woody notes, and amber This opens white floral/juicy with jasmine and rose, the orchid adds adds sweetness. It's super sexy, the new Fuschia bottle suits the "you wanna hot body? you wanna Bugatti?" lyrics that come into my head when I smell this haha. The dry down still retains the opening floral sweetness but blends into a soft; vanilla, woody/amber. Sillage for all Zara fragrances is 2-4 hours on me. They all remain close to the skin usually between 4-6 hours though.

I wasn't all that over the hill when I bought this perfume in a dobble box, it was a rather "daaa..." So, it was forgotten, and suddenly I rediscovered it tonight; it smelled so very different from what I remembered, so much better, is there any fudge in it? -Yes, this is a very nice perfume, I give it 8 of 10 points, because it's a very nice perfume, it fits everybody, and genders of all ages :))
