Unusual Flower Eau de Parfum

I just tried zara perfumes for the first time. I was kind of blown away by this one, it smells EXACTLY like eau des sens from diptyque to my nose. like damn near 1:1 dupe. It also lasts so long im still smelling it right now and i was shopping with a friend who told me he could smell it around me.

I tried it in Zara shop, it was light citrus, it was quite nice . I left it on my hand, and only after 30 min all was disappeared, and it’s not my nose, because on other hand I try other Zara perfume and it stays 5/or moore hours. it’s not a perfume, it’s eu de toilete.

This smells like the old NIVEA cream in the blue tins, once it has dried down. The opening really is strong and very green, unpleasant to my nose personally. Pretty long lasting, it's a clean-ish soapy scent.

This one is oh so green. It’s like how spring smells. I know it’s supposed to be citrusy and it is. It opens very sour and astringent but after a minute or two it settles. I’m 100% sure there is green fresh jasmine in this one (not the creamy sweet one), almost 100% sure there is lily of the valley too since it has that fresh airy green feel Lilly of the valley gives to scents. And there is something that gives this feel of like you’re smelling the juicy green stems (like you just broke a tulip stem). Fresh, clean, airy, floral but not sweet, definitely green but in the floral green way not in the grassy way, it starts really synthetic and sous and astringent almost like a cleaning product but then it settles and rounds. Will come back for an update when I reach the late dry down.

A fairly affordable alternative to Aqua Universalis by MFK. Pretty bottle too! Great staying power. A winner!
