Gourmand Rose Syrup with Red Temptation DNA
I bought Love Explosion as a blind buy when it was released in 2024 as a special edition for Valentine's Day. The scent is a blend of Zara Rose Gourmand and Zara Red Temptation, both of which I think are clearly detectable in the top note. During the drydown, the rose note from Rose Gourmand remains in the foreground. Unfortunately, I can't detect any vanilla or citrus notes, as the roses overpower everything like a sticky, sweet rose syrup poured over everything. The metallic and earthy notes of the moss from Red Temptation are only perceptible to me at the beginning and give the fragrance a brief edge. However, they diminish over time, and on my skin, after about 25 minutes, it resembles the OG Rose Gourmand. After an hour, Love Explosion is hardly noticeable anymore.
The sillage is moderate to strong at first, but after a short time, it becomes just a skin scent. To enjoy it longer, I would probably need to spray it on my clothes and hair.
Today I found it again while rearranging, but even now, after two years of maceration, the first impression unfortunately remains: For me personally, it is far too sweet and floral, and this bottle will soon be leaving. However, anyone who loves Rose Gourmand and Red Temptation will surely enjoy this fragrance.
