Zara Lily Pad Eau de Toilette

Wow, this is literally Thé Vanille Nette

For me it smells like a red fruit hard candy. I don't get any lily or praline. Just some kind of red fruit with sugar. It smells nice, though. But it's nothing special and the performance is abysmal. It lasts less than 2 hours and the proyection gets very weak a few minutes after I sprayed it, even if I did more than 15 spritz. It's appropiated for casual use in spring and fall days. I use it to go to bed and in lazy days, cause I find it comforting. I got it for a bargain ($99 mexican pesos, around $4.5 USD) so I don't complain, but I wouldn't repurchase it. Update: after a while using it, I noticed the praline, in the drydown. It's sweet praline and a little powdery. It smells yummy but is very very weak.

The notes on the cardboard box says "Fruit Cocktail, Heliotrope and Praline" which sums up this scent very good. The fruit cocktail is very present at the beginning and it dries down to a smooth soft vanillary scent with the sweetness from the pralines. I'd say it has a soft sillage and weak to moderate longevity.

Zara should bring it back as a travel spray. I never buy 100ml bottles. Nice, soft, inoffensive scent for various occasions and seasons. Probably a good blind buy. Easy reach if you can't decide what to wear to run errands, work or meeting with friends.

90 ml bottle, blind buy. Reminds me of a doll I once smelled, cannot help myself. I like this one, it's a nice soft creamy scent. Poor longevity on my skin, looks like body mist to me. Edit 04/14/21 - Thoughts after using more than half a bottle. I don't like this anymore. It still smells like a doll to me, mixed with instant cream powder (a powder you mix with water or milk) and marshmallows and candies, perhaps a hint of flowers. I'm trying to use this up. I'm more careful with blind buying now, after some fails (mostly from Zara).
