The Christmas bakery was bottled here! Speculoos, cinnamon, festive. Very gourmand. Haven’t smelled anything like it at Zara before. Longevity and sillage are moderate.

The opening is a very photorealistic gingerbread but it's short-lasting and turns into a stale cookie really fast. Longevity is poor too. Not for me.
Tested on a strip in the store. Unfortunately, no gingerbread - more like a dirty sock?! Maybe the tester had gone off..
I’ve never smelled gingerbread this synthetically cool before. As cool as the ice-blue bottle. Now the bottle color makes sense, at least.
