What wearers say
“Excellent scent, I use it to accent other perfumes. Reminds me of Coco Mademoiselle - same elegant luxurious vibe but I wouldn’t say it’s a dupe. Heavy on patchouli. Great sillage, projection and longevity on me. Definitely worth for the price, way better than other Zara fragrances I’ve tried.”
“I can’t believe no one has noted how similar this perfume is to Gucci 1966! I pinned it up.I don’t find Zara Fleur de patchouli similar to coco mademoiselle. Maybe they share the same class and sophistication but that’s it. The smell is really different.I am really happy with my purchase. I love Gucci 1966, but hate it’s weak sillage. I just bought Zara’s Fleur de patchouli today, and let’s hope it has better longevity and sillage.”
“Very good. Reminds me of Coco Mademoiselle, but with less powerful projection and sillage (but still decent). Out of all the Jo Malone collection in Zara, this one is the only one worth buying in my opinion. Good longevity considering it's Zara perfume.”
