Wonder Rose So Intense

This is special! I love it so much! I see many people find it boring and generic but I think it is unique. It came back in stock with the rest of the Wonder Rose Capsule Collection and it is sold at the discounted price of 6,90€ so I thought I should review it, as I did for the whole collection, they are good! The reason why I find it so special is because this is a watery and fresh green apple, without sugar, put on a much powdery and woody base, with delicate white flowers and green dewy notes mixed in for armony. Only in the heart of the dry down there is a light vanilla, the powderiness comes from the musk and the woods. What is so special about that? Well...usually at this price you either find green apples that are much fruity, saccharine and never pure, often mixed in a fruits salad or you find them caramelized and altogether sweet, ranging from sugary to candied apple to true gourmands as in an apple pie or spicy and Christmasy. If they are clean apple then they are too much perfume-y and the apple looses its true nature. This one, at this little price, offers you an expierence similar to that of Floro by Jeroboam, since it is a mix between a true crunchy apple, a non sweetened juice and an apple detergent, just like Floro! When I first encountered it I could not belive it since it is part of the Wonder Rose Capsule Collection, which are all rose based and doll like perfumes, so it was a surprise. This is instead fairy like...just like Floro! Also, it is very similar to the opening stage of Dolce&Gabbana Light Blue edt but without the citrus (if you can imagine that!), and it smells like an old favorite of mine...a powdery bomb called Batik Silk by Morris (a flanker of my favorite, discontinued Batik (Occhi Verdi ) by Morris). The name Wonder Rose So Intense is not appropriate since it's not intense, nor is it rosy like instead are the others from Wonder Rose Capsule Collection. Also, this has nothing to do with Wonder Rose og or Summer which are very fruity, coconutty and sticky sweet. The packaging is lovely, a soft matt glass bottle which fades in transperent glass at the bottom, all in red! I would have made it green or white to fit the scent but it is gorgeous to look at. If you are intrested in a more in depth take, here is what I observed about the scent: the opening is made of a very realistic green Granny Smith apple, much crunchy, crisp and watery. It is not sweetened at all and quite photorealistic. I don't even find it too much synthetic...it really is a joy this little red cube of perfume! The opening is accompanied by a touch of greenery, something chlorophyllic and a little sour/lemonated but there is no proper citrus in it. It is herbal and dewy. At this point the perfume smell both like true apple and like an apple juice without added sugar in it, as if you are enjoying one of those in a field during a cool sumner day! In the middle the apple note remains strong and it is accompanied by some light white florals. There truly are some daisy in here and also some type of little white flowers similar to those that grow spontaneously in the valleys and that at first look could appear like unwanted weeds (I know them well). The florals in So Intense smell green and a little honeyed, but it is a very light facet. They armonise more or less. It is now that the fragrance smells like an apple detergent, very much like Floro by Jeroboam, but a good detergent, nothing too chemical or bothering. The effect is very clean and comforting. The base that backs it all up is made of powdery musk, very clean and white and fluffy. You can already feel it in the middle of the scent and it adds to the clean effect. Dry down is much musky but also lightly woody. The woodiness is a bit generic but if I had to guess I would say there is something similar to cedar and sandalwood. I don't expect too much given its price but something in here smells a bit like some molecular woodsy note, and a bit ambroxan-y too...the effect is similar to the woods and ambroxan of Light Blue edt by Dolce & Gabbana but much more light. A very subtle vanilla note closes the scent but it is very diffuse. Performance was quite good for it being a Zara cube, probably because this is an edp concentration; it lasted on me for about 5 hours, projection was moderate in the first two hours. Dry down remains much longer, for at least seven hours, with the powdery musk still radiating. It's a light scent, much eatherial and fit for a fairy! It is summery and also kinda of unisex, or maybe like a female perfume with an androgynous twist about it...which makes me like it even more! It smells like a clean white shirt or some clean sheets at the boyfriend house! If you want to loose some of the serious/generic/unisex character this has then it can be layered with the other two from the collection, Sublime and Obsession. The result is suave and ethereal, much feminine and delicate, with colors ranging from green to mauve to powdery pink! And you can overspray them without guilt!!! I liked this a lot while many people find it boring and even cheap smelling...I think it is one of Zara hidden pearls, and worthy of a backup, it's better then their famous Applejuice. Edit: the style is similar to Versace Dylan Blue Pour Femme edp, but that one is much more woody, synthetic and complex; as for Chanel Chance Eau Tendre (and Zara Applejuice) that one is much more feminine and perfume-y.

Bright floral fragrance with a cherry note mixed with green apple witch turns the sweet cherry a bit sour, almost feels like passion fruit. Amazing scent for very hot days.

Really great fresh fruity floral. Nothing groundbreaking but it's perfect for summer, it's really nicely blended and has decent performance. For the price, it's a no brainer. I've smelled most of the Wonder Rose flankers including the original and this is the only one I was interested in buying. Easy blind buy imo. Probably one of the best of the cheapie Zara frags, next to Tuberose.

I REALLY love the scent, it's too bad it's so weak. It's fresh and lovely. My favorite fragrance on a Sunday morning for brunch in a beach town.

Reviewing the transparent red bottle 2025 version. (Not frosted) I was going off of a couple of videos I saw on YouTube, hoping for a "tart" or "sour" version of the original. I'm learning more and more that people throw out those description words very often for fragrances that are neither tart nor sour. This fragrance is fine. There's nothing offensive about it. It dries down smelling very much like wonder rose. But the opening smells like Chanel chance eau tendre. Which was disappointing to me because that fragrance is too mature to my nose. This is like a more "mature" version of wonder rose. I really don't get any specific note standing out...just kind of nondescript fruity smell. It's fresh. Overall, I spent 25 bucks on it so not too big of a disappointment, though I own two other wonde rose flankers that smells 90 percent the same. I was hoping for more. If you enjoy wonder rose, you will probably like this. It's shampoo like and will not offend anyone. It sits very close to the skin unlike the original wonder rose. If you own the original I really don't see the point in getting this.

Scent like cheap, boring body spray. Extremely weak and hardly diffuses. Apple, daisy and vanilla are in the notes, but I also found it a little tropical. At least it is not a rose and intense fragrance. Lanvin Modern Princess is also sold cheaply at discount stores, so there is no need to venture to choose this copy.

Hmmm...I find that this had a distinctive smell to majority of Zara’s perfume. This smell I cannot explain but it dries down to be powdery without the actual notes in the fragrance. It doesn’t even last more than 6 minutes...ugh I am highly disappointed
