How do you define a scent? To me, it is such a
powerful illusion because it can transform your mind in a jiff and elevate your
body & soul to another transcendental level.
I am clearly, unconditionally obsessed with scents.
Even, as a sweet memory, I have kept my very first high end perfume bottle with
a little bit of liquid left in it. It was Dior's
Hypnotic Poison. I adore the fragrance and the sentiments
attached to that.
I like to buy perfumes very frequently. But I
invest carefully. The impatient side of my mind gets bored with same fragrance
very often. That's why I like to buy the travel sized version, and if it's not
available, then I prefer to go for the smallest size, always.
In my closet, you’ll always find two high end
fragrances for special occasions and two mid-range, budget-friendly perfume bottles, which I use
alternately on a regular basis.
I have been loving Zara’s
perfume ranges for years. They are budget-friendly and have
various options to choose from. Some smell magnificent, whereas some are basic
but decent. But to me, there is one flaw for which they couldn't come in the same league of other branded editions. The smell doesn’t stay for
long. I don't know about all the perfumes from Zara, but what is available in
India, I am talking about them. Till now, I have tried at least 10 varieties of
them. Even if you spritz a reasonable amount, they tend to wash away after some
time.
But… there's a change in action recently.
I guess the smell fairies have popped in to rescue
the mission. Or finally, Zara is kind enough to bring their incredible range in
the country. Whatever is the reason, I've found a fantastic Zara perfume which can
give a neck to neck competition with any premium brand.
Let’s welcome…
ZARA WOMAN ROSE GOLD
PERFUME

Description:

magnolia, gardenia, and amber. It's a warm, sophisticated and opulent
fragrance.
My Knowledge so far about
Perfumes:
Though I am not the best person to let you know
about all the fancy and chemical details of a perfume. But I can tell you this
much that you must have a clear idea about perfume notes before going for its
shopping. It is important to know what kinds of scents are appealing to you.
There are three notes of a perfume.
a) The Top
Notes, also known as Opening notes or Head Notes
b) The Middle Notes or the
Heart Notes
and c) The
Base Notes
Depending on the fragrances, these notes blend in
together and create a phenomenal scent. Perfume is just like a surreal blend of
musical instruments. It creates a sensation in your heart like the harmony of a
symphony. With the help of these three notes, the fragrance becomes more
alluring.
For general purpose, I am a fan of floral scents.
And I like a little hint of musky scent too. That’s why this perfume has attracted
me to itself on the first moment. This Zara Rose Gold Perfume is the perfect compilation
of both the scents. It comes in a very elegant and classy looking glass bottle. The liquid has a beautiful rose gold-y hue in it which makes it prettier in appearance.
Pros:
- Smells just heavenly and divine
- Will keep you refreshed throughout the day
- The smell lingers in your skin and on your clothes for hours. (In fact, I can feel it on my clothes till the time it goes for wash)
- Has a perfect combination of floral and musky warm tone
- Can be used both in the day and evening time
- This comes in a budget-friendly price, one 30 ml. bottle will go on for a long time
- Doesn’t stain your clothes even if you spritz it directly on them
- Goes well with both ethnic and western wear
Cons:
- Are you kidding, none at all! But a glass bottle is not ideal or convenient all the time to carry when you travel.
Give it a try the next time you are in Zara. If
the store is not available near you, you can now order it online. But I would
suggest you to take a sniff before you go for any perfume in your life. And always
remember to patch test before applying anything new on your skin. It is never too much to be careful for yourself.
Cheers!!!
Happy Living…
