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.

This is a 100% dupe for Boucheron Quatre. I have never smelled VS Bombshell before. Effervescent, light, airy citrus floral. Very pretty, and inoffensive, safe blind buy. Perfect for spring. Sillage and projection isn't as good as Boucheron, this lasts about 3 hrs before dying down to skin scent.

I get the citrus and orchid strong in here. I am not really a citrus girl but this is amazing and so fresh so young! At first it didnt catch my heart because i am more of a gourmand girl. I loved it when i started to wore it often. Just like straight out of shower scent. Clean and fresh

Hear me out, for the price it's absolutely and scent it's a win for me with this Zara perfume. Yes it may last a little less than 3hrs but it smells beautiful (like Victoria's Secret Bombshell, really). I use this on days when I don't need to be dressy, and it works well for me.

received a few bottles of zara fragrances as a birthday gift— i'm ecstatic to have an expanded collection. this is a perfect cute little citrus scent. i like it. an easy reach for when i don't know what to go for or have nothing important to do on a day.

the first time i smelled this i thought "this smells like water". the only fragrance i can tolerate when it's REALLY hot outside

It smells amazing! It's smells like fresh out of the shower or clean clothes scent and doesn't smell citrus at all.

Nice fragrance, it’s a light, fresh, citrusy, floral fragrance.

A very fresh clean and girly scent. The notes describe the scent exactly, when first sprayed you are immediately hit with a fresh citrusy scent, after a few minutes this turns into a youthful feminine floral with very subtle vanilla undertone. I see a lot of people saying that this is meant to be a dupe for VS bombshell, to me they don't smell alike. Orchid is a lot more light and citrusy with a lot more emphasis on its orchid note whereas bombshell is much more fruity in comparison. Sillage and longevity are very poor but to be expected with the price.

This fragrance reminds me strongly of the Purple L’Oréal Elvive shampoos, but it's slightly less sweet and a bit more floral. Though it’s not listed in the notes, I detect a refreshing and fun guava accord that brightens it up. It's just a "just out of the shower" scent. As a result, it can be perceived as simple, coming across as soapy, like a subtle air freshener, or just generic. This is a safe everyday wear or gym fragrance that won't turn heads. Unfortunately, it doesn't stand out a lot, and the longevity is quite poor.

i can’t seem to find the exact version of the zara orchid i have, but my orchid bottle is the light blue lid version. i will say it’s got the same generic alcoholic slightly floral zara opening. once you get past that it’s a pleasant fresh clean scent with intimate silage but it is veryyyyy one dimensional and lacks depth. it’s good for tossing in your gym bag to freshen up and since it’s affordable you can’t complain. but performance wise it’s weak, you get what you pay for... it’s performance is very comparable to an EDT.

I finished my bottle after 3 years and this has been such a comfort scent for me. It’s fresh, clean but never overly soapy, with a pretty orchid note. on my skin it feels like a pink orchid that’s been washed by a quiet rain, with tiny water drops resting on the petals 🌸 it always made me happy whenever I smelled it. The longevity isn’t strong, but I truly enjoyed wearing this until the very last spray c:

This is very fresh, clean and pleasant. Does not smell like you have a fragrance on but rather like you just got out of the shower. Very inoffensive even if you overspray but also not very memorable. Perfect for everyday scent. I'd probably give this a lower rating if it wasn't so inexpensive but for this price, I think you get what you pay for and even slightly more.

A must for the clean girl epitome: Victoria's Secret Bombshell dupe, smells like the colour pink. Lasts about 4 hours on skin with one spray. Fresh and sweet without being clothing or overwhelming. This could be in anyone's staple of how crowd pleasing it is, one of the best parfums Zara has, also super cheap. Lovely.

It reminds me of all of the Incanto series of Salvatore Ferragamo. Fresh, light, soft, warm and lovely. I also do not know what VS bombshell smells like but very similar to Incanto series for sure. As it doesn’t have strong scent, it’ll suit any season really in my opinion.

Fresh and clean. It smells like a freshly squeezed slightly sour lemonade with a lot of ice and in the hot weather it is really soothing. I get good longevity (6hrs) and good sillage. One of the better Zara fragrances.
