Pros & Cons

  • ✅ Beautiful fresh zesty oranges on the opening, but that dissapates quickly and it just smells like a pretty generic soapy scent. Clean, and pleasant enough for the summer.
  • ✅ A simplistic yet beautiful scent, opens with a loud citrus note, but worth the wait on the dry down IMO, it blossoms into a beautiful, clean, fresh-out-of-the-shower sudsy floral note.
  • ✅ Amazingly beautiful fragrance, in a fresh, citrus and very enjoyable way! It’s a totally unisex frag and very much a dupe of MFK’s ‘Aqua Universalis’…
  • ✅ Love it! Layer it with Zara Creatively Shanghai for a better, more powerful citrus scent.
  • ✅ This is my daily perfume, It smells good, I've finished 2 bottles and I like it.
  • ✅ Beautiful fresh zesty oranges on the opening, but that dissapates quickly and it just smells like a pretty generic soapy scent. Clean, and pleasant enough for the summer, but I'm not a massive fan of soapy scents.

  • ❌ Smells more like a cleaning product or soap in a public toilet - I gave my 15ml bottle away.
  • ❌ It opens with tart and fresh orange scent, a bit sharp and even synthetic. It reminds me of those chemical products with orange smell, such as toilet cleaning products.
  • ❌ Gracefully Madrid has the most 'Jo Malone' profile of the Zara Olfactive cities collection so far - a simple citrus cologne. However, it is utterly disappointing, and a far cry from her best work.
  • ❌ First spray was just orangy air freshener, truly horrible. That could be because i am not into citrus notes.
  • ❌ Very sharp and synthetic orange opening. Once it settles for half hour it really reminds me of Soleil de Rochas.
  • ❌ I thought this was awful dish detergent in the (air conditioned) store but I walked out into the sweltering heat and it smelled great.
  • ❌ First spray was just orangy air freshener, truly horrible.
