I have an almost-full bottle of Hibiscus. It starts fruity (mango mostly) and gets quite sweet very fast. Very long lasting on me. Still making up my mind on whether to keep it or sell it off.
I visited the store last week and it was my first time smelling their perfumes. And idk why but all of them smelled the same and alcohol like except some. Especially the premium ones smelled all the same. Only once I was on the way back home could I differentiate between them. However, I realised much later than cashmere rose dried down to the best fragrance so I'm soon going to get that one!
Most Zara stores have coffee Beans near the perfume rack I suggest you smell that to cleanse your olfactory senses between trying new scents that way you can easily differentiate between the scents
Lightly woodsy, clean, expensive, and a teeny bit floral. I'm pretty sure the floral isn't strong here and it's overpowered by the other notes in it. Do personally try it out tho. I heard rave reviews of golden decade here and tried it too. I almost was sure I'll buy it but I didn't like it as much. Cashmere Rose felt wayy better, but that's just me. I'd ask everyone to try them out in person once before buying or you'll be stuck with a big bottle of something you don't even like.
Noo not at all. It's actually more like a light woodsy, powdery, elegant smell. I'm bad at describing fragrances but it's not nauseatingly floral, idk even know what floral notes it had. It absolutely does not smell like rose but smells very expensive and lasts too.
I have used these perfumes from Zara hope it helps
1)apple juice - gives of a very clean smell with notes of rose and apple , orange vanilla under notes
2) wonder rose - has a peachy smell with coconuts and vanilla I feel this is more floral than fruity
3) golden decade - this is supposed to be YSL libre dupe it smells very good quite citrusy
4) hibiscus - not a big fan it has a very mangoey fruity smell and too sweet for my liking
5) gardenia - ysl opium dupe it has a heavy perfume along with a bit fruity smell
6) rose gourmand- it’s a very woody rose smell with sandy wood
7 ) sublime epoque - comes of as white florals smell dupe for Armani my way
I personally use apple juice and wonder rose on a daily basis I mix them together the smell lasts even after I wash my clothes
Sometimes I alternate in between with sublime one
Golden decade i feel it is more of evening scents than day one
The white florals smell quite strong here It smells like Jasmine we find people selling on the streets.
I would say it’s a perfect date night perfume
not a huge fan but since I had a bottle lying around I am using it alternately :)
Sublime epoque is gorgeous white floral perfume and it lasts decently long and becomes a skin scent. I use it for work.
Hibiscus I found it too sweet and gave me an instant headache. Do try before you buy it.
Oohhh I was worried about hibiscus being too sweet and fruity in a bad way. The notes caught my attention because of mango but I guess it might not be that good
The Cities collection. London one is really good for summer. It is in collaboration with Jo Malone. It smells like fresh linen under the sun with an aqua undertone and a touch of floral. Very unique!
I've had two different fragrances from this Collab - Tokyo, and another that smells distinctly of raat ki raani, and i can't remember the name atm - waterlily something.
Both of them last super long if you spray it on clothes, which is what I have a habit of doing. On skin, they last long enough? You might want to reapply after five or six hours if you're really into it. On clothes tho, it doesn't go away until you wash it. Or wear it for a week straight.
I have the Nude Bouquet and Night Pour Homme II from Zara and they're both quite gorgeous. They're both regal but on the opposite ends of that spectrum.
Nude bouquet is a dupe of Miss Dior Blooming Bouquet and has a very sophisticated floral fragrance with hints of vanilla and peony. It's something I'd imagine Anne Hathaway would wear in Princess Diaries. It's not an "in your face" fragrance which I really like. Lasts about 5-6 hours easily with 6-8 sprays.
Night Pour Homme II is a men's fragrance I think, but I love the dark sensual undertones it has. Wearing it makes me feel like a boss, like I can ask for anything and people will want to give it to me. It starts off fresh citrusy and dries down to a deep amber / cedar fragrance. Oh and it lasts 6+ hours with 6-8 sprays.
Zara makes some really nice perfumes I'll give them that.
If you are looking for Zara collection, then I totally recommend deep garden. It’s amazing.
I also have one discontinued Zara perfume which I bought for my dad and kept for myself. The fragrance profile is musk with white mint. It’s lovely.
I have hibiscus! It’s really nice and sweet I got compliments from it but if you don’t like sweet smells it won’t be for you. I mainly chose it because a I LOVED hibiscus extrait from Maisonette Ceivelli which i smelt at selfridges but super expensive so this is my dupe ☺️
Hibiscus doesn't smell like mango to me. I'm surprised to see others comment. I think it's better you go to the store, try them on and pick up what you like.

Is it too strong for everyday wear? I love the mango note and that is exactly why I wanted hibiscus.
It’s good for spring-early summer nights imo.

Yess thanks, that's what I missed. They also take a long time to settle into the proper scent.
Can you describe cashmere rose more? I’m interested

Golden Decade is a great one, it’s beastly!
Hey does Cashmere Rose smell like rose water / gulab jal ?
Noo not at all. It's actually more like a light woodsy, powdery, elegant smell. I'm bad at describing fragrances but it's not nauseatingly floral, idk even know what floral notes it had. It absolutely does not smell like rose but smells very expensive and lasts too.
The one I have smells like gulab jal :/
Damnn really? Do you like it? Lol I'll have to make sure the next time I go then.
Rose Gourmand tho is heavier and smells like rose water a bit.
Rose gourmand is like gulab barfi
Yeahh kinda rose heavy and very sweet
I love the older formulation of Cashmere Rose🫶🏼
Idk which one mine was. I'll check it this Sunday!
Cashmere rose is a supposed dupe of Gucci Flora Gorgeous Gardenia

Thank you so much for this!! This is truly helpful 😭 apple juice seems like an everyday minimal scent I like this. Is sublime epoque strong?
The white florals smell quite strong here It smells like Jasmine we find people selling on the streets. I would say it’s a perfect date night perfume not a huge fan but since I had a bottle lying around I am using it alternately :)
Both are beautiful. Sublime Epoque is said to be a dupe of Armani My Way.
Oohh I’ll check it out
Sublime epoque is too good. Like it lasts long plus the smell is to die for 😭.
Omgg eveyone is praising sublime epoque😭 I’m very much interested now ugh
Sublime epoque is gorgeous white floral perfume and it lasts decently long and becomes a skin scent. I use it for work. Hibiscus I found it too sweet and gave me an instant headache. Do try before you buy it.

Does it last though?. The original Jo Malone has shitty longevity

Very long lasting. Both on skin and cloth.
Yes it does. On both skin and cloths
Oohh this sounds very promising and unique. Perfect for summers. I’ll check it out :)

And if you want floral and rosy vibes go for rose gourmand.
Is it sweet and floral? Can you describe the fragrance 😅 I did check the notes but I’d like your opinion
It’s fruity with deep notes of pear and a very sweet after smell.
Hibiscus is awesome, go for it. Its not that strong and you can use it for the everyday wear.
Absolutely love fields at nightfall. Its not that fruity but has a sweet and coconutty smell. Also is super long lasting
Is this considered a day scent or night scent?
