Currently, I am testing one or another Zara fragrance. Today it was the turn of Bohemian Bluebells. As a fan of lavender scents, I was very curious to see how this one would turn out.
The bottles from Zara's Emotions line are very simple and, in relation to the affordable price, they appear quite elegant to me. The perfumer of the fragrances, Jo Malone, is well-known and has created many wonderful, wearable, and authentically scented perfumes.
However, the longevity of some of the scents she has made for Zara leaves something to be desired.
About the scent: Right after spraying, I get a full blast of lavender. It smells authentic. In our area, a lot of lavender grows in the front gardens, and that’s really how it smells when the lavender is in bloom. After half an hour, a strong scent of essential oils comes into play for me. It smells like a cough drop with a lavender note. Unfortunately, I personally cannot detect the musk and sandalwood. I also can't imagine that the essential scent could arise from either of these two fragrance notes. After 2 hours, Bohemian Bluebells can only be perceived very close to the skin. It lasts longer on clothing.
For me, the scent is quite wearable because I like lavender and the perfume tends to help with headaches rather than causing them. I enjoy wearing it from time to time. However, I usually prefer to smell like perfume rather than cough drops.
