Sublime Epoque by Zara

Mixed feelings… I tried it a while ago and liked it, but never bought it. A couple of years later, I smelled it in a store and thought, ‘Wow, why didn’t I grab it?’. It’s feminine, empowering, floral, and magnetic, with those classic sticky neroli notes. But after two hours, I got tired of it; it became overwhelming.

Beautiful perfume, no doubt it smells very similar to My Way. It’s dominated by neroli yet feels sweet and slightly fruity. For me, it’s perfect for spring.

IT’S ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL! For the price, it’s a steal. When I smell it, I imagine the most beautiful girl dressed in white and pink. It has an air of My Way, but personally, I feel Sublime Époque is much more youthful, playful, pink, and coquettish (it does smell a bit like a body mist, though).

A white floral with orange blossom and jasmine that smells super delicate and comforting. Great for daytime. The projection and sillage exceed its price, lasting 5 to 6 hours. It’s super versatile because it’s not overpowering and almost everyone likes it; it’s one of the most complimented perfumes I own.

A white floral where neroli and jasmine stand out. Super delicate and comforting, very daytime. Its projection and sillage exceed its price point, lasting 5 to 6 hours. I think it’s a super versatile scent because it’s not heavy and usually pleases everyone; it’s one of the most complimented fragrances I own.

It’s not identical to My Way. I own both, and if you put them on each wrist, you’ll notice they smell different. It’s in the same style as My Way and could be a flanker. It also reminds me of Ralph Lauren’s Woman. If you like those two, you’ll definitely love Sublime Epoque. In My Way, the jasmine stands out with a certain freshness, whereas here it’s less prominent; instead, the neroli, orange blossom, and a touch of sweetness shine through. It’s a great fragrance with excellent longevity, but don’t buy it thinking it’s the same as My Way because it isn’t. It’s similar.

It’s super versatile, perfect for any occasion and season. It’s pure warmth and sensuality that wraps you in a creamy cloud; sometimes it sounds tropical but without losing that luxurious elegance of neroli.

I understand it resembles My Way, but I don’t think it’s a dupe; My Way is much more intense. Sublime Epoque is way more citrusy, and after a few hours, it reminded me of D&G’s Light Blue. I bought it blind, and honestly, I loved it. It’s perfect for everyday wear.

I tried it today at the store; I don’t know if the testers were old or exposed to shopping heat, but at first I smelled something weirdly zoo-like, like a lion’s cage 😩. It was rich and floral, but very particular. Then it settled down and became finer, though quite distinguished. I didn’t smell anything like My Way or my L’Interdit, but take this review with a grain of salt because I think Zara testers sometimes go weird.

It’s identical to Armani’s My Way. I chose this because the original seems too expensive. I already have L’Interdit and So Scandal by JPG and I think I’m well-stocked on creamy neroli. This Zara dupe captures that creamy scent, with a striking orange blossom and vanilla base that creates a sweet cloud. My sister says I smell like ‘blackberries,’ but to me it reminds me of raspberry gum, maybe that’s why it smells like So Scandal. At first, the orange scent feels stronger than the bergamot in the original, like being under an orange tree. From there on, it’s identical. The Zara box says it has a floral bouquet over a cedar base, a note Fragrantica doesn’t announce. Hooray for Zara! I prefer spending 500 pesos over the 3,000 for the original. Although it lasts less (12 hours vs. 24), for me it’s a win-win. Highly recommended for neroli lovers. Price and quality are undeniable.
