What wearers say
“Great dupe for the lovely (and overpriced, short lasting and staining La Belle). Perfect replica of JPG for a great price. Cannot comment on longevity so far, but the fragrance is spot onUpdate: brilliant job, Zara! Don't you dare ever put this out of production.It is basically La Belle (i have both and can't tell the difference), except that it doesn't stain (fabulous plus!!) and it lasts LONGER than the original.To fans of La Belle: Go for it without any doubts!”
“This is not a dupe for JPG La Belle. Similar DNA, but not a dupe. JPG is a sweet, juicy pear right off the bat. Sultry pear is heavier and more cloying but not in a bad way. Just not as airy fresh as JPG. The dry down of Zara is sweet carmelized pears and praline. Both are lovely, but JPG is my pick. It's fresher and smells more luxe, as it should given the price tag. I will try layering both as that should be lovely too. Both are cozy and comforting scents. Lasts all day on me.”
“This one was such a great surprise when I bought it! It's a sweet and complex perfume, really feels like niche perfumes. It's one of those that has all the perfect stages, the opening, drydown and exit are really well combined. The sillage is good and the longevity is great, specially for the price. I bought the smaller version thinking of going for La Belle after but I became more a fan of this than LB, is a lighter and freshier version.”
