Pros & Cons
- ✅ Well this was just a lovely surprise. I'll be honest, I wasn't even aware that Zara offered EDP formulations until I ran across this. What a lovely, affordable sweet rose. On my skin, it almost reads like a very muted Delina Exclusif: the rose and lychee notes are the star here, but they're soft and close where Delina (to my delight) announces itself. I could see this being super appropriate for an office setting and for the price, I'm personally pretty thrilled with it. I'm still getting moderate sillage and projection after over six hours of wear - unheard of for a Zara fragrance.
- ✅ I got this about a week ago, and tested it only twice so far. I've tested PDM Delina but don't own it. I would say it's like a spicier version of Delina, and is a nice perfume. Also has quite good lasting power. But idk how much I like it for myself, I really love Delina. I wouldn't say it's a dupe unless you found Delina to sweet and wanted something spicier, it has more like a similar vibe to Delina. I'm not sure if I'll keep it, might update later.
- ✅ I blind bought this one and I love it I don't think it lasts long but I only had it for 10 minutes, and I love this smell so I'm going to keep it. I tried white flower posy - hated it Edit: I sprayed exactly 9 hours ago. Within this time, I went to the beach, swim, came back home, showered and when I sniffed my hand it sill smells like rose petals. Test 1 spray, on the skin I don't know how it performs on clothes but I'm guessing more less the same. Although it lingers on the skin, I'm not sure how it projects because the scent is not 'strong'
- ✅ Incredible Value for Money
- ✅ Clean and Fresh Modern Rose Scent
- ✅ Highly Versatile for Any Occasion
- ✅ Mass-Appealing and Inoffensive
- ✅ Excellent for Layering with Other Fragrances
- ✅ Surprisingly Good Quality for the Price
- ❌ I really wanted to try this from the moment I saw the notes. Rose? Litchi? Black currant? Pink pepper? Love them all! Rose Petal Drops open with a realistic rose with the stem, made slightly tart by the pepper and the black currant. It reminds me of the rose of Florabotanica without mint and cannabis. I really like the opening, it's fresh, juicy, feminine, uplifting, watery. After 10 mins you can get a slight scent of litchi, it's so slight I don't know if I'm imagining it. Then the drydown… rose and vanilla. Now, take Rose Gourmand. Take out the amber. Take out the fab longevity and sillage. That's it. The dry-down is very disappointing and a bit boring and this fragrance goes to the drydown fast.
- ❌ Moderate Longevity (may require reapplication)
- ❌ Can Be Perceived as Simple by some Niche Enthusiasts
- ❌ Not a Powerhouse Scent (subtle projection/sillage)
