Zara White Eau de Toilette

Love love love this. It's the only perfume I've ever been able to wear for more than a few days without getting sick of it. It does smell a lot like Miracle, but it dries down softer and loses the offensive spice that tends to bother me in Miracle. It's just pure soft, sweet muskiness after about an hour. Absolutely love it, and I hope I'll always be able to buy it. I haven't been able to find it anywhere in America.. only Ireland.

It's the kind of fragrance you never get tired of. Very fresh and flowery, great for everyday use! Also i find this very similar to "emoções" by Racco.

Well, this is quite beautiful! The official Zara website also mentions ginger in the notes and I think it's in there somewhere. This is a feminine white floral, so the name fits this fragance perfectly, but the freesia makes it a fresh floral and it stops it from being too heavy (something that seems to happen in my skin with white florals is that they seem to feel too strong and cloying, to me anyway). The opening is fresh, but the magnolia is already there; I guess there's a hint of jasmine, but this one is more about the magnolia and the freesia than about the jasmine, so if you're expecting a heavy jasmine fragance, this is not for you. As it dries down (and it takes a while), it becomes sweeter and warmer, this is obviously the amber. And there's always a slight spiciness about it that must come from the ginger, although this is not a very spicy scent either. It has good longevity but it doesn't project too much after a couple of hours, so it stays close to the skin and it gets much sweeter in the final hours. Overall, this is a pretty scent. It's very affordable but it doesn't smell cheap, and it's neither very original nor generic. I'd say it's a perfect everyday scent for a woman (I don't think a teenager should wear this, it's a more grown up smell), and you can feel it in your skin, but it's not a heavy floral, so it's perfect to wear it at work, for instance. I think Zara did a really good job with this one!

This is such an excellent dupe of Lancome Miracle, except for the longevity. It lasts a good 2-3 hours on the skin. However, the scent itself is beautiful and it literally costs nothing to top up throughout the day if it fades away a bit. It smells feminine, classy and crisp. As for the notes, Miracle and White are almost identical to me. Somehow several notes are not listed here. According to the frag description on the box of the Zara White 50ml EDT I just purchased this week, the notes are Freesia, Lychee, Magnolia, Pepper, Ginger, Amber and Musk. These are the exact notes of Miracle's. I have owned 2 full bottles of Lancome Miracle in the past, I find them very similar. I have moved on to other Lancome frags, but I love the idea to revisit the feeling and memories. This scent easily takes me back to my uni times when I was in love with Miracle. One of my male friends complimented 5 times or more on Zara White when I was wearing it last week. He found it 'Fantastic!' I've since kept this cute 50ml bottle in my handbag and I really enjoy wearing it. I have been purchasing full sized frags all these years, but I recently I started to notice the convenience and benefits of having a 50ml or smaller bottle with me to just refresh mid of the day. So this is just perfect. It's summer here and the ginger and lychee notes are just outstanding, it's an excellent frag for the weather.

A light, fresh and clean fragrance. Feminine florals anchored by warm amber, and there's just a hint of spiciness that develops after a few minutes. It's peppery & delicious! It's not exactly a statement-maker, but it's complex enough for the price, and quite a pleasant scent. Definitely recommend if you come across it, especially for the price.
