A Pleasant Surprise
This was an impulse blind buy for me. I went in expecting a spicy, fresh white floral, and what I got completely defied that expectation.
The core of this fragrance is very similar to Into the Gourmand - Number 1: Velvet Shadow , Zara's own interpretation of Love Don't Be Shy Perfume . It's similarly marshmallowy, sweet, fluffy and powdery, topped with white florals and dense musk. The spicy and green elements combined with the heavy powder and musk bring to mind vintage compositions, a la Passion Eau de Toilette . That there are so many contradictory accords also pulls it into a classic, 80's space - it's powdery but fresh, creamy but green, clean but dirty, spicy but smooth.
Overall I find it addictive and intriguing. I don't think everybody will like it, so try it out in person if you're by a Zara location.
Update a year later: I wear this so much! It's incredibly elegant and incredibly cozy. Curse you, Zara, for releasing bangers and discontinuing them immediately.
