Vetiver Pamplemousse Elixir

Ok, now this is great. A very bright modern unisex citrus fragrance with a suprisingly interesting woody base. At first I was on the fence about the woody dry down, but the more I have it the more I love it. Absolutely gorgeous, non-sweet citrus that still has lots of personality. To me, the elixir version is better than the og, although the woody base (that the original doesn’t quite have) could be not everyone’s cup of tea. This one lasts longer and projects better. However, I would not have called it an elixir, as it hardly lasts 2-3 hours on my skin (and clothing). Also, to me this is better than Pamplelune, although I love the Aqua Allegoria line, something in Pamplelune pisses me off, whereas this fragrances just feels enchanting to me. Overall: my current summer favourite, can’t wait to try it in the colder months as well 9.75/10

The Elixir version is the ultimate Pamplemousse fragrance ever!! Thank you Zara X Jo Malone CBE My review of the original scent: It’s just so good I lost count of how many bottles I restocked... I even use it for layering with other fragrances. This was the first fragrance from the Zara & Jo Malone collaboration I got back in 2020 and I’m still trying to get em all! All the collab scents are amazing but this is still my favourite from the entire collaboration.

Juicy grapefruit, very light vetiver, soapy clean vibes, and that's it, I like it a lot. It's great for layering leather scents like Ombre Leather or gourmands, I am adding some twist with it to L'Oreal Angel Fantasm, which is boring by itself. Very simple and lovable if you like grapefruit. I use it with cacao nutty chocolate body cream, smells fantastic. Longevity is 2-3 hours, and projection is medium to intimate. Cap is magnetic. Good job Zara.

Ohoy, incredible find! I have been keeping my fingers on button to buy Guerlains classic Pamplelune for a while now. I was just having a little fun at zara and suddenly couldnt believe that I find Nice dupe of Guerlain! Jippee! Ok, Id love to have Og too, but Im planing to get new trip to zara. ;) EDIT Actually No.. I got happy too fast with it- drydown isnt nice, its like floorcleaning juice. Not buying.

To my nose, the grapefruit accord is spot-on. Grapefruit peeled in yo face. And some basenotesfixatives like vetiver or whatever. The longevity is great on my skin ( unusual thing) ~ 10 hours !?! Skinscent, yes, but for a fruity-fresh-woody fragrance it’s superb! And first hour the sillage is great. What’s up with these new releases from zara?!? Great quality! For the price (€30) it’s more than fair.
