Shades of Joy

Very lovely and easy wearing scent. Fresh, floral, musky and feminine. More suitable for the summer but could easily be worn as a everyday scent all throughout the year. It is definitely a dupe of Valaya but I like it better because the musk is less protruding.

Smells so good that as a person who doesn’t like florals, I’m able to wear and enjoy this one. A sweet floral with poor longevity, after one hour it’s barely perceptible.

At first I enjoyed this scent, but after awhile the base notes come through and I pick up on tonka beans, even though it's not listed here as a note. There is something about tonka that really annoys me. It has this sweetness, but also this cloying undertone that gives me the ick. This reminds me of the new Jo Malone Beach Blossom, very similar.

to my nose this is like a combo of (ex-nihlio - fleur narcotique) and (perfume de marley - valaya) layered in 2:1 ratio .. this isnt as refined as them ofcourse u r getting it in zara quality .. its Ok as a freshner not a serious dupe ..

A slightly indolic, long lasting bouquet of pink flowers. So simple, beautiful, and unique... that people go nuts in finding "the original" that Zara might have copied. Sad people. This is so, so good!
