What wearers say
“I was quite surprised by this fragrance's performance, actually.It has been 8 to 9 months since the last time I wore this, and the performance of this fragrance is actually great for a Zara.With 10 sprays (6 on my neck and behind my ears + 4 on my shirt), I got around 7 hours of longevity. The sillage is moderate, but I can smell it for a few hours. Maybe because I sprayed it on my shirt too? It's still surprising though, especially that it is a freshie after all.My opinion still stands. This is one of the best Zara fragrances I have ever smelled.”
“To me, it smells closer to Y EDT than Y EDP.For the price, it's really good. Very unnatural smelling on the first spray, but after about 30 seconds, it turns to this great smelling fragrance with the iris and mint. I can clearly sense that the ambergris is a very strong note here, although it’s not listed.I honestly couldn't detect the sandalwood here, but it's a great fragrance for the price. It lacks the complexity of Y EDT or Y EDP though, and the performance is just moderate. So, if you're okay with that, give this one a go.Edit: I actually detected the sandalwood now, in the drydown.”
“One of the better offerings from Zara - not original, but a tried and true people pleasing scent DNA. Very similar to Y EDP, although slightly sweeter and heavy handed with the floral aspect (in my opinion).Zara seems to be putting out more good than bad anymore, and their prices remain stable.As always, not the greatest performer, but at $19, what did you expect?”
