ZARA woman : ORIENTAL eau de toilette (REVIEW)

Hi, beauties

Berapa orang dari kalian yang suka mampir ke ZARA?  Yup ZARA is one of the leading fashion retail stores di Indonesia saat ini. With their edgy yet classy design, they keep delivering up-to-date fashion pieces to their customer.

I bet a lot of you go there, at least sekedar window shopping. Contohnya aku, kalo lagi ngga ada yang pengen dibeli, tetep aja mampir ke sana untuk check out their latest collection. Maybe to get some outfit inspirations, right? hehe.. 

Notice nggak kalau bukan sekedar baju aja yang mereka jual, you can find almost anything fashion-related on their stores. You name it, they have it: Bags, Shoes, Accessories, Hat, Kids clothes, even Perfume. 

Have you seen or tried it?

Zara Woman Oriental comes in a simple, elegant and classy bottle which quite satisfying to hold and to look at. The company generously put 100ml of products in this bottle so it will stay around for a while i guess. Since it is Eau de Toilette, you probably need only two to three spritz and it will stay for almost a 5 hours.

This Eau de Toilette from Zara has specified smell which i hardly describe. To my amateur nose, there's a flesh of sweetness from vanilla, freesia and rose. Something masculine comes up after a few moment and i believe it was sandalwood or cedar. So you got a mix of sweet, and soothing at the same time. 

I myself wasn't a fan of too girly of everything. I don't like frilly clothes, i don't like glittery makeup (special occasion doesn't count *lol), and i don't like too girly scented fragrance either. For preference, I've been wearing Kenzo Flower for a while and it suits me pretty well. Though Zara Oriental has a sweet scent but i think this doesn't count as girly smell. 

At first, it reminds me of Bapak-bapak kondangan smell. I know, it sounds weird and hyperbolic. Memang nggak segitu nya juga sih hahaha. Still, is a bit too strong and too vanilla. But then after a few moment, yeah i kinda get it. 

Staying power was adequately good. I spritzed this on my wrist after night shower, before Isya prayer right before bed. The next morning i woke up and sniffed my wrist, the scent's trace was all gone but it was still linger on my mukena when i'm about to wear it on Subuh prayer :)

my thoughts

it's not a must-have item for me, but i still like to switch products every now and then, so this could be a go when i need a few variations of fragrance. It's not disappointing, and i believe ZARA could work on their perfumery business as well as their clothing line. The scent is rich, cool, modern and classy. Makes me feel like a grown up girl, a woman.

Finding a classic signature scent like Chanel with Chanel no 5 could be a great goals.
