    Love at first sniff. I adored it on the tester and bought it online; at first, it seemed a bit soapy, even compared to Red Temptation, but then it turned out to be absolutely exquisite. The best part: with just 5 sprays, it lasted all day. By hour four, my husband said it was strong, but honestly, it was just enough and not overwhelming. You could smell it when moving around without getting dizzy. If you’re looking for something exquisite for everyday wear, this is perfect. I’d use it all year round.

    Love at first sniff. I loved it on the tester and bought it online; at first, it seemed even healthier compared to Red Temptation, but then it turned out to be so exquisite. The best part: with just 5 sprays, it lasted all day. At 4 hours, my husband said it smelled strong, but no, it was just enough and not tiring. It was noticeable with movement, without being overwhelming. If you’re looking for something exquisite for everyday wear, this is perfect. I’d use it all year round.

    I love it. For the price, it’s very accessible, and from the first spray, it became my favorite and personal fragrance. It feels concentrated and lasts for hours; many people have complimented me. I love that it keeps its scent. Even though I’m new to perfumes, this is one of the most luxurious affordable options. 100% recommended if you like sweet and long-lasting scents. It has a rich smell, and the rose note suits it perfectly. Some might say it sounds like Zara’s Red Temptation, maybe they share a vibe, but honestly, I don’t feel they have much in common.

    Hi. I tried it yesterday, and it reminds me a lot of Rose Gourmand, but sweeter. I already own Rose Gourmand and wanted this too; I really liked it. Edit: I can’t believe it—while it is sweet as I said, I put it on at 7 am yesterday and could still smell it on my skin at 7 pm, and it smelled even better on my clothes. What caught my attention is that I thought it smelled like Delina, but I haven’t worn that… I think in its dry-down, the roses take over more. I’m head over heels 🥰.

    The opening is alcoholic, slightly citrusy, and from a distance, it reminds me of Lolita Lempicka. Then comes a rose reminiscent of Chloé, which I don’t like. For me, Rose Gourmand has sweeter, liquorish roses; nothing like that here. There’s an annoying, rough part that reminds me of Zara’s This Is Her. The DNA of Red Temptation isn’t there at all. A disappointment. Weak longevity; by two hours, it’s barely noticeable. Zero sillage.

    Starts with a citrusy alcoholic opening that vaguely reminds me of Lolita Lempicka, then shifts into a rose similar to Chloé that just doesn’t work for me. I’m looking for sweeter, liquorish gourmand roses, and this is nothing like that. It has a rough, annoying side that brings to mind This Is Her by Zara. The DNA of Red Temptation isn’t even there—it’s a disappointment. The longevity is weak; after two hours, it’s barely noticeable with zero sillage.

  7. PERFUMATECONDANY

    One of the biggest disappointments with Zara. It’s identical to Rose Gourmand, nothing like Red Temptation, NOTHING. It’s a clone of a clone because it reminds me completely of CDN Imperiale. Sillage and longevity are 5/10. Definitely not recommended.

    Curious, but this perfume is frankly indifferent to me. Neither here nor there. As for longevity and sillage, it’s practically imperceptible; it lasts less than a sigh. I can faintly detect Red Temptation in the background, but very faintly. It’s too soft and short-lived, and honestly, it’s not worth buying.

    Absolutely stunning. I’ve always been tempted to buy Rose Gourmand, but whenever I tried it, I always found the scent too heavy. This one I loved for its similarity, but it feels like the rose concentration and sweetness are better balanced. On skin, it’s a masterpiece for a feminine and delicate woman. The fixation and longevity are amazing. What a shame it’s a special edition; you have to be quick to grab it because it’s a 10 out of 10.
