Warm Freedom

So impressed!! Never like Zara scents usually, but this is great. It’s like laundry clean, you can smell the beautiful quality cotton in there. And if you look at my wardrobe, that’s not my usual choice. This quickly then turns to cotton and sweet coffee. Unexpected combination, simple, yet effective. it works so well... the strength of it is also surprising for Zara, I can tell this will last on me, projection with over spraying could go to arms length, otherwise it’s intimate. So worth the price though!

On me, this smells exactly like Prada's Infusion d'Iris but it has an underlying sweet note somewhere. I love Infusion D'Iris so this was an instant hit for me right from the first spritz. Powdery iris goodness. I don't agree with the reviews saying that it reminds them of Fields at Nightfall - I own that too and I see where they are coming from (both are clean scents) but Warm Freedom is way muskier and not as sweet. Fields at Nightfall is a sweet and slightly musky scent that is not sugary.

I tend to side eye Zara fragrances unless there’s a decent amount of positive reviews. However I decided to try this on the notes and that it’s a Jo Malone collab. I found her previous collars to be the best of Zara’s line. It’s very pretty and this is what I had expected from Maison Margiela Replica Coffee Break. That wound up being more floral than I wanted. This is a cozy cotton close to skin musk with a coffee bean/grounds scent. Lovely, intimate and understated.

Blind buy from the notes and boy am I happy, this is beautiful, its everything I like, warm and cosy, it's slightly boozy on my skin, i also get the creamy coffee which I love it's much lighter than ysl b.o. like coffee with coffee mate in 😋 much more wearable, and then you also get the clean fresh powdery notes, I would wear this day or night it's one of those scents you can't stop sniffing, I'd definitely move close to someone just to keep smelling this 😉

I wasn't sure about this at first but now I love it. It's sillage and longevity are surprisingly good. It's my go-to clean girl work perfume and I layer it with Kayali Vanilla 28. I always get compliments on this combo! I just wish I could secure a back up bottle but I fell in love a little too late.
