Scent

The Fanta to spray on.

Admittedly, the title is quite striking and also chosen a bit provocatively. Because Vetiver Pamplemousse smells much more valuable and richer than the ever popular soft drink. However, this was actually my first impression when spraying the scent on the bottle.

It starts out sparkling and tingly, just like when you open an ice-cold Fanta and pour it into a glass. However, Vetiver Pamplemousse smells bitter and not as sweet and sticky as the soft drink. The image of a freshly peeled tangerine also came to my mind, or more precisely the peel. This is accompanied by a slightly bitter grapefruit note. All in all a very nice opening. In the drydown the whole thing gets a bit harsher and the vetiver comes through more, which rounds off the fragrance nicely. Unfortunately, durability and sillage are rather in the middle of the range. It lasts for 5-6 hours on my skin, but with a very reserved silage, which is only really noticeable in the first hour. Zara states that the scent is wearable by both sexes, but I would personally classify it as a slightly feminine scent. Although the vetiver and grapefruit make it quite tart, the tangerine note and its soft, light composition make the fragrance almost a bit sweet, which makes it rather feminine for me.

For me, Vetiver Pamplemousse is a very beautiful summer scent, which is simple, but also brings a certain depth and above all valence with it and should especially inspire fans of natural smelling fragrances.

Mercedes Benz Cologne is one of my absolute favourite scents :D I will also get Dior Homme Cologne, that should be even better

The fragrance and Mercedes Benz Cologne are really great for the summer.
The durability and sillage could be a bit more.

The scent is very beautiful, just as you described it. Very natural, fresh and not sweet, but also just... What really bothers me personally is the very weak H&S... Goblet for you!

That sounds like a real summer treat. And if Jo Malone is the perfumer, I'm sure I'll try this one!
