N°08 Bohemian Bluebells Zara 2019

... I've had "Zara Emotions N°08 - Bohemian Bluebells | Zara" and I behind us...
I had applied it several times already (I have the 10ml, with roller -.-) and could never place it. Somehow I always had berries in mind - but I was never clever enough to check what was in it. So I kept testing, forgetting, testing, undecided. And just now I wanted to add it to my declutter list and stumbled upon the fragrance notes for the first time. And when I read "lavender," I got really excited. I am an extreme lavender lover. I can't walk past any lavender bush without stopping to smell it, rubbing a few blossoms between my fingers, and happily moving on.
So, I pulled out Bohemian Bluebells again and applied it.
First, a lot of alcohol, and then...
What an explosion of lavender! Beautiful, authentic lavender. So piercing, as a large bush sometimes gives off. But the lavender soon becomes creamier, more subdued - almost soft.
There was a comparison made with cough drops. I understand what is meant, but I like it.

I love lavender for going to sleep. I often spray lavender essences on my pillow - it calms and makes me sleepy.
"Zara Emotions N°08 - Bohemian Bluebells | Zara" will definitely be tested there - after I transfer it to another bottle. Because I've never been a fan of rollers and I won't become one. I wish Zara would just use simple sprayers.
However, I think it's great that you can also get the perfumes in 10ml.
Sillage isn't strong, my husband is sitting next to me and I don't think he even notices the scent.
Longevity is about 3-4 hours. After that, the last hour is only close to the skin. I would say after 5 hours it's hardly noticeable anymore.
But it's inexpensive and you can easily reapply.

Conclusion: I wanted to declutter it at first but now I urgently need to keep it.

Addendum: I believe that my perception at the beginning was significantly influenced by the fact that I always applied it on the back of my hand. Just now, for the first time, I applied it in the crease of my arm. The warmth makes a big difference. It smells completely different than in the first tests (it was also very cold before. Today it is quite warm).
