Zara Orchid 2021

This is a very likeable, fruity, fun, girly scent. It’s very inoffensive and I enjoy wearing this every time. It is quite youthful, it does have that cheaper vibe that some may turn their nose up at, but I think it’s done in an enjoyable way and you can still feel proud to wear this despite it not being the most classy. This smells like the popular teenage girl in the high school movies who wears pink all the time and has great skin. She’s chewing gum too. That’s this fragrance. Fun, youthful, girly and doesn’t take itself too seriously. I think everyone needs fragrances in their collection that lift them up and make them smile and this is definitely one of them. On me, projection and sillage is great for the price, but longevity is average for an EDT (not bad though). And yes it smells like Bombshell... don’t spend £60 on that perfume when this exists.

okay again... Zara never disappoints. I recently went to the Zara store just to look around, and I was surprised to find their new perfume collection in store. I remember how underrated and godly the perfumes were, so ofc i had to take a smell test for all of them, and wow, they didn't disappoint. Smelling this at first, it did not smell that good to me. too overpowering with the freshness, and it didn't sit right on my skin. However, after smelling it some more and letting it dry down, it smelled SO FUCKING GOOD. I'm not sure if the tester was just left out too long or not, but once I bought my own bottle and smelled it new it smelled perfect. such a crisp, fresh, light smell. It's a very fresh scent, with hints of floral to it. You would expect it to have a huge floral smell, but honestly, it wasn't too overpowering.

Orchid is my favourite go-to scent for warm weather and summer. I also have an olfactory attachment to it as it reminds me of so many amazing memories I had back in my trips to Europe. It's clean, feminine, and youthful, amazing for warm weather. The smell is almost identical to VS Bombshell except I noticed this one is softer and a bit more floral. Honestly, i’d prefer Orchid better, especially considering the performance and the price points of both perfumes. Unfortunately it barely lasts for a couple of hours, it's more like a body mist rather than a perfume if i gotta be honest. The sillage isn't strong either. But hey it’s affordable you can always reapply and overspray. Overall, it is an amazing fresh, shampooish fruity floral scent for daily use which I absolutely love.

Great for layering! I love the opening notes of Burberry Her EDT but the dry down on me is a dusty rose scent that I quite dislike. A spritz of this in the afternoon freshens the scent right up! Yes it's one dimensional and not amazing on its own but it literally cost me $15. For 1/8th the price of Burberry Her EDT I am able to save myself from the unpleasant dry down and get a fresh new scent in the afternoon.

i smelled this perfume for the first time 1 month-ish ago. my friend was picking me up from the airport and she was wearing this. i literally fell in love the moment i smelled it. immediately asked her what her perfume was and i bought it 3 days ago. i’m literally in love. it smells SOOO good + it lasts much longer than i expected. if you’re hesitant about buying it, just do it.
