Share what you noticed: opening, drydown, sillage and the moments when it works for you.
It’s already a lot if it lasts an hour; it smells so soft you barely notice it. Zara has infinitely better and cheaper fragrances that are true gems, but this one smells generic and says nothing. I don’t understand the generosity of other reviews; they’ve been too lenient. I wouldn’t spend the 15 euros it costs; there are others for 9 that smell better.
I just smelled it and oh my god, sweet, fresh, and candy-like. I was surprised it only has three notes: yes, sweet and juicy raspberry with a light woody base that I loved. Honestly, it did remind me a bit of Pink Sugar, but it’s not as sweet as that one. It’s great for hot weather if you want to smell something sweet and soft. The longevity isn’t great, but it’s worth it for the price.
I expected something very sweet like Pink Sugar, but although it smells like caramel, it’s quite citrusy. Honestly, it does remind me of artisanal candies, though I don’t know if from Barcelona, because to me they remind me more of those blocks at the Pilar in Zaragoza. It has low projection and lasts about three hours on my skin. It produces a pleasant sensation when smelled and the name fits like a glove, it’s like reading a metaphor. But beyond that, when you consider if you really want to smell like this, in my case it doesn’t pass the test, because it has low projection and no development. However, it’s very cheap like all of Zara’s, so the quality-price ratio is very good. The bottle is pretty and simple; it doesn’t need more; the name is good enough as a marketing strategy on its own and doesn’t need to adorn the fragrance. I recommend it for anyone who wants to spend little on a striking fragrance for this hot season.
I thought it would be sweeter, but I smell it very fruity and floral. Peony stands out a lot. It reminds me a lot of VS’s Hello Darling and orange ice cream with Irish cream and cookie. It’s sparkling and very pleasant. Ideal to wear during the day in spring. It has moderate projection and a longevity of about 4-5 hours. The bottle is classic but has its charm.
