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 :))

This is a spot on dupe for VLJ, it’s so alike it’s scary. My friend had the OG on and I was 100% certain she borrowed my pink Flambe (I have the small roller in my backpack). But no she just had the og on. So I’m glad I don’t have to spend money on the VLJ cause it’s a really juicy good scent.

The scent notes aren't up to date anymore. I'm talking about the Zara pink flambe weekend collection. This smells actually like Victoria's secret dream angel perfume and i love it!

One of my favs from Zara. Smells feminine and soft. Even got the roll on perfume for this. Last longs too and can smell on clothes afterwards.

Nothing unique, but I love it. Very affordable candy style gourmand fragrance.

Reminds me of beyonce heat. I got the body spray version. I love it.

The current notes list on here (bergamot, lemon, sorbet + cashmeran) must be a mixup with some other fragrance. Zara's website lists pear, violet and praliné at the moment. But no matter what the notes list says, this is clearly the Zara version of Viva La Juicy. Fresh fruit and flowers on a base of vanilla and caramel, all in all a light, clean semi-gourmand scent. Pink Flambé is a little warmer and more caramelized than VLJ on my skin and not as floral. I also really get the pear note, but I can't detect any violet. At the price point of 6€/30 ml or 13€/200 ml I can't say anything bad about this. I personally find it nicer than VLJ, but not as good as VLJ Noir, which I own. When I first tested this I found it too weak, but today I just sprayed two times at the same spot and now I can still clearly detect it 6 hours later. It's not a powerhouse, but it performs fine for the price.

smells sooo similar to Viva La Juicy! i'd say that VLJ is a more intense, sweeter smelling scent than this one. I like PF and it's nice for everyday however it lacks the creaminess and caramel that VLJ has. It's nice, just more juicy. It's like if VLJ was watered down lol. you dont need PF if you already have VLJ, however i do recommend splurging abit more on VLJ as you get more for ur buck tbh and the performance is much better. I got the 30ml one, so I'm planning on just having this with me wherever I go as its so small :) good for all occasions!

I got it as a gift, and it's very nice! Fresh and lemony at first sniff, and then settles into something comfortably woodsy. I wouldn't say it's cashmere like the notes say, but it's not precisely chocolate/pralines. I can't really put my finger on it, but it's pleasant nonetheless. But it barely lasted a few hours, so you'd have to keep spritzing it throughout the day. Considering the price, I'd say it's pretty good overall.

viva la juicy? exactly! personally i love viva la juicy so i’m considering adding this to my collection to combine with my victoria’s secret tease body mist to add onto the longevity. the results are tried and true, liked by many, and truthfully there’s no shame in my game, i’m going with the budget friendly option. however, what’s up with the matte bottles? i hate them! i want to be able to see how much juice i have left.

I smell caramel, vanilla, white flowers, berries, and orange. I smell Viva La Juicy, a lighter version of it! Projection and longevity are moderate. If you’re looking for a cheaper alternative of VLJ, go for this. If you already have a full bottle of VLJ, you won’t need this unless you are really into that scent profile and want to wear it every night before sleep but don’t want to waste your VLJ.

The notes listed here are totally wrong!!! PINK FLAMBE NOTES: ROSE, JASMIN, ORCHID, VANILLA, WOODS, AMBER. Later edit: PINK Flambe Summer 2024 flanker: MANDARIN, JASMIN, PRALINE. Please note that the bottles changed too. The scent is no longer similar to the Weekend edition. Zara! Fast fashion, fast perfumery!

Fruity and youthful with some powderiness that gives it a sexy edge. Sweet but not cloying. The citric notes are not obvious. Got a mini of this in a discovery set few years back. Mine has poor longevity and projection so I wouldn't repurchase. Otherwise it's a cute frag for everyday.

I bought this cos it was £3. Smells like American Cream soda soft drink, with a tiny touch of lemon, and I'm also getting a tiny touch of the artificial candy smell you get from Pear Drops sweets. Really odd.....

To me it smells just like Viva la Juicy, just a little bit lighter. VlJ is a little bit strong, so I would buy this one for work for example, or for everyday perfume. Too bad that it does not last all that long.

The notes listed on my pink flambe are pear, lychee, chocolate and praline purchased winter 2018. It is warm and sweet, but not suffocatingly sweet. Yummy praline. Has a bit of an oriental tinge on me.
