People say it reminds them of
What wearers say
“This scent reminds me of my childhood, opening a brand new baby doll, which always seemed to have this nice powdery scent. It's a very nostalgic fragrance that just screams 90s to me for some reason. Doesn't last very long but for the price it's very good.”
“First time I tested forbidden pink, it smelled somehow "dirty" and dusty. Today i gave a second change in a different store, and suddenly I found it much more pleasing, and actually will consider adding it to my collection. Surprisingly good longevity, I tested it one spray at 10am, and now at 3pm still going strong! My skin is quite dry and doesn't hold fragrances well, so considering that, Im impressed. For me it does remind "velvet shadow" in dry down, and in the opening it reminded me a bit of "give me a sign". Nice, sweet and comforting scent.”
“I tested this on my skin only. I can smell the citrus and vanilla when I put it on, and then it dries into a yummy vanilla with a mix of powder. Sweet, but not too sugary. More vanilla than powder.Lasts quite a bit (6-10 hours) as a skin scent and projects for a while after you first spray it, which is good for a Zara bottle in this price range.”
