La Clochard
I bought this cologne when it first came out and liked it, but then I grew a dislike for it and haven’t been able to stand it for years. They still sell it, so someone must like it, and yes, I’ve received compliments. I wouldn’t say it smells like lemon sorbet, but seeing the notes, I can see why. It has a subtle hint of Indian spice or anise. Should it be compared to Amor Amor? A fruity vanilla perfume? Those are very sweet fruits, whereas this is a citrusy talc. Basically, it doesn’t smell like Amor Amor, not even in its best dreams 🤣🤣

I bought it on a whim and absolutely loved it at first, but now I can’t stand it and haven’t worn it in years, even though the bottle is still there. Since they’re still selling it, someone must like it, and it’s true that it has gotten compliments. It doesn’t smell like lemon sorbet as the notes claim; instead, it has a subtle hint of Indian spice or anise. Should I compare it to Amor Amor? That one is super fruity and vanilla, while this is citrusy and powdery. It doesn’t even smell like Amor Amor, not even in its wildest dreams 🤣🤣

Neither the scent nor the longevity is great, which is minimal 💔. It’s also not the pink I was expecting; more like a dim flame. I wouldn’t have bought it myself since it’s a super budget line, but I wouldn’t rule out gifting it to a teen because it’s not ugly, nor 🤭

Really tasty. I bought it because people said it was a dupe for Juicy Culture, and yes, they’re similar, though not identical. I wear it daily, especially when I’m feeling happier. I think it works for any season, but it’s ideal for summer and spring. A daily perfume I recommend keeping at home for under €15

Why does the Pink Flambe (Zara Weekend) bottle smell like Amor Amor? It’s supposed to be a dupe for Viva la Juicy (which I don’t know), but the notes are worlds apart. Now I have Amor Amor on one wrist and Pink Flambe on the other, and they’re identical. Does anyone else notice this? I really liked it; fresh and casual for this horrible heat in Mexico

Why does my Pink Flambe (Zara Weekend) smell exactly like Amor Amor? It’s supposedly a dupe for Viva la Juicy, but the notes don’t match at all. I tested it on both wrists and they were identical. Does this happen to others? I loved it—fresh and casual for this infernal heat in Mexico.

I bought it because TikTok said it was similar to Viva la Juicy. Maybe they’re similar at first (Viva la Juicy is much fresher), but once it dries down, which is very fast, it smells like rotten melon. Plus, it doesn’t last at all. I forced myself to use it up and it was a torture. Disgusting.

Toletole
Sweet, a bit citrusy, total summer vibe, and seductive. It reminded me of the smell of Ambrosoli liquor pills in black packaging

A sweet perfume with barely perceptible citrus notes at first; the dry-down is quick with a medium/low sillage and nothing cloying. A sweet daily scent that doesn’t bother anyone and is easy to wear
SaraEP
It definitely doesn’t smell bad; on my pH it’s very sweet, fruity, and fruity; but out of all the Zara perfumes, this is the one I like the least. The BUT, like with most Zara scents, is that on my skin it lasts a breath. That’s why I won’t repurchase. Note: to make it last longer and have more intensity, I apply a bubblegum-scented oil underneath Pink Flamblé, and together they match up perfectly

I’m not usually a fan of citrus perfumes, but this is my exception. Guys and girls have complimented me, though the longevity isn’t the best (about 5 hours on my skin). The trail is noticeable for the first two hours. It smells sweet to me, a soft talc with a touch of wood. My friends love it and even asked for the name to buy it.

Guys and girls have complimented me, even though the longevity isn’t the best (about 5 hours on my skin), however the sillage is noticeable for the first two hours. It’s a sweet scent for me; I only detect a soft sweet powder-like note and a tiny bit of woodiness. My friends love it and have even asked for the name to buy it
Mont_Blue
I’m not sure where to start, but what I do know is that the olfactory pyramid is far from reality. I don’t perceive the lemon; I feel a soapy, fresh scent at first and a sweet note with a floral touch I can’t quite distinguish. Luckily, I only bought the 10 ml version. It doesn’t smell bad, but it’s not what I imagined based on the notes

Reminds me of Victoria’s Secret’s Scandalous with a hint of Glitter Hustle. It’s super gourmand and lasts about 4 hours (perfect for reapplication), but don’t overdo it with more than two sprays or you’ll get nauseous; it’s so sweet it actually gave me a headache. Smells like a teen perfume: nice but soulless. I was disappointed because I expected the cashmere wood to add some class, but it’s completely unnoticeable.
CatalinaSmum
It reminds me a lot of Scandalous by Victoria’s Secret and, to a lesser extent, Glitter Hustle. It’s extremely gourmand. Although the longevity is maxed out at 4 hours (since it’s so affordable, reapplying isn’t an issue), I recommend a maximum of two sprays unless you’re a total gourmand fan. It’s so sweet it gave me nausea and a headache even in the cold. Typical teen perfume: rich but without identity. I was disappointed because I thought the cashmere wood would add some distinction, but it’s not noticeable at all.

I don’t believe the official notes match what it actually smells like. It’s sweet but not cloying, super versatile for spring and summer. Perfect for anyone who wants to avoid citrus even when it’s hot; it has freshness and sparkle without losing its sweetness. To me, it smells like praline, pear, tangerine, red berries, caramel, and bergamot. It’s fruity, creamy, feminine, and tender, in the style of Viva la Juicy. Lasts 5-6 hours, perfect for the price. It’s my favorite from Zara right now—addictive and delicious. It’s very similar to Noir but lasts longer. Highly recommended.

I bought it blind and realized it’s the Oriental Gourmand in a different bottle with a different name. I already owned the original and didn’t realize it was the same as Pink Flambé. Ladies, if you have the Oriental Gourmand, don’t buy this; it’s the same thing. Zara’s habit of changing names and reformulating things every day is getting worse and worse.

A really lovely scent for a midday, just a shame it doesn’t last long on the skin 😔
jarjim
I have five 10ml vials and I can’t tell the difference… They smell practically the same 😬😬😢
Corapix
It’s a soft and creamy fragrance; when it dries down, you can really notice the praline, very sophisticated.

Update on Zara’s website notes: the olfactory pyramid includes pear, lychee, chocolate, and praline. It still smells exactly like the Zara Oriental Gourmand, and by the way, they still don’t share a single note…
Whitewaterlily89
Can anyone explain why it smells EXACTLY like the Zara Oriental Gourmand and they don’t share any notes??????? I knew Zara had perfumes that were dupes of their own, changing the design and name but keeping the notes. In this case, I’m blown away; it smells IDENTICAL.
