What wearers say
“Much more of a citrus bomb compared to Imagination. It really has an essential oil, Tokyo hotel lobby type smell. It has this aggressive citrus opening like Wulong Cha but only with more ginger and lower in quality.While the opening may not be for everyone, I really like the soapy and musky dry down. Smells luxurious despite the cheap price. The projection does not last and it becomes a skin scent within like 3 hours but the dry down is really nice for hot weather plus the longevity is actually quite great for the dry down at least.”
“I bought this because I like the imagination sample I got but testing them side by side, this is a lot more candy citrusy orange and imagination is more clean linen soapy smelling. It also only lasts 2-3 hrs and when I wore imagination it lasted 8+ hrs. This has good projection and sillage for those 2-3 hrs then it completely fades. This will be my last time purchasing a Zara dupe. I wouldn’t purchase imagination because I don’t think the scent is worth the price.”
“Not sure where people are getting the 30 min longevity from?? Put it on my arm with a few sprays 9 hours ago and is now a pleasant skin scent. Projection is not crazy during fragrances lifetime. However, is decent for a summer citrus scent. Smells great. Picked up the last batch today in store, so I'm very pleased with the price and scent.”
