I actually LOVE Rose Gourmand. It lasts forever on my skin, hair, and clothes... but after seeing that this is supposed to be a dupe for Roses Vanille & the Cafe one (forget the whole name atm lol) - I just ordered some samples to give those a try. If they are close but not exact - I will most likely be buying the full size. I didn't want to go right out and buy the exact same fragrance for more money tho if they truly smell the same (like some TH-camrs are saying).. thank you for your review!
Rose Gourmand and Sublime Epoque smell amazing, however I don’t have the originals to compare to and my thoughts are based strictly on Zara fragrances. Rose Gourmand is a beast and lasts a very long time especially on hair and clothes.
Your Rose Gourmand- Roses Vanille comparison was spot on! I love Roses Vanille and Zara’s version definitely lacks depth and isn’t sweet and addicting like the original.
Great video! I'm gonna give Golden Decade a try. A perfect dupe for Roses Vanilla is Florence from Swiss Arabian. Crystal Rose also from Swiss Arabian is very similar and it's even cheaper than Florence. Both can be found on Amazon.
This is such a great idea for a video! I find the Zara fragrances overwhelming, they have so many and so many of them are inspired, but like you said they don't advertise it. I ended up buying a couple dupes of fragrances I already have!
MY WAY is nice but a bit to sourey with sweetness of a wild strawberry . I prefer Sublime Epoque cause it is more sublime towards the original IDOLE, ZARA dupe is not harsh like My Way can be
Love Golden Decade ! Just got my back up bottle…. Like you l don’t like Libre on me , but for some reason l love the Zara one!!! And it last so much. Thank you for your videos ❤!
wow!!! you just got a new subbie! This is the most indepth fragrance video I have ever seen. I like zara perfumes and I appreciate this video because it tells me what to expect.
Hi Maria,👋 I haven't tried Zara or any of the dupes you've mentioned but I do have some from Alexandria and Julianna's. They run in the area of $60 usd price range and both houses are long lasting extraits. Have a great weekend!
I'm so glad the zara version of my way works for you! I have the same problem! I love the opening of my way, but on my skin it just smells like complete trash in the dry down.
Gonna go to zara to smell rose gourmand! Sounds like my type so if it’s good I’ll try roses vanille! Also apple juice is apparently like Chanel tendre?! Will love it then ❤
Thank you, Maria. I love all your videos, and you have the best community! It’s so great others share their preferences, experiences, and opinions. Would you please give us your recommendations for the best dupes of Delina and Delina la Rosee? I finally splurged for a bottle of Delina la Rosee. I adore it, but it’s so darned expensive...I don’t expect a dupe to behave as, what would you say, “organically,” as a Parfum de Marly. Delina la Rosee is almost alive in the way it breathes and almost dances, undulates as it releases waves of scent. So delicious. On the other hand, my hair stylist was apparently allergic to it and went into a sneezing fit. after we were together for a few minutes. We tried to figure out what it might have been in the room she was allergic to, and it was me! Also, a friend sneezed a couple of times when we were together, but that was all. Nothing serious. I can’t seem to find anything else I love beyond my tried and true Coco Mademoiselle. Am thinking of a Vanille 28 by Kayali for fall. I liked the Queen by Dolce & Gabbana sample that I was handed in a department store the other day, but wonder whether it’s too...mall department-store smelling. Please offer suggestions! I’m not a Tom Ford oud kind of girl (60+ woman actually). I don’t want to smell like a fireplace, for example. But I write for a popular, high-end magazine and don’t want to smell dowdy, or as the girls in France say and wrinkle their noses when they smell Shalimar or ecen Mitsouko, “vieux” (old). 😮
I only like ZARA fragrances from chapter and (a few) from Cities collection. Best of all of them is Elegantly Tokyo, as the most original very posh equisite white flower with a kind of sexy kick/edge (agikaya wood?) Delina dupe didnt impress me at all
I had my eye on Sublime Epoch for so long, but when I was ready to pull the trigger, it went out of stock for months. So I ended up getting Captivatingly Paris instead. Totally different direction, but nice.
@@mariacollettlife I'm from Belgium. I know it was in stores when I looked up where it was available but it wasn't in my area at that time and now it's all sold out and the website says "coming soon" for months now
I have Fashionably London and I’m so pleased to know it’s not a dupe for Delina because I don’t enjoy FL at all. I’ve tested out a lot of the Jo Malone/Zara fragrances and I’ve yet to find one I am crazy about.
I agree, Rose Gourmand is so overhyped but it’s so flat overall, there is no depth, its just sugary strong rose thats it. Thank god I bought 10ml but that also I am not able to use it.
I have never tried Mancera Rose Vanelle and would like to blind buy it. I love love Zara rose gourmount but the longevity on my skin is only 2-3 hour the most. I don't like wasting money on buying several bottles of weak performaning fragrances so I am very interested in the Mancera one. Would you recommend the Mancera if I love the Zara one?
Overall I have had pretty good luck with Zara fragrances. I find the drydown of Rose Gourmand and Roses Vanille are very close on my skin. I bought mine when Zara first released it and I did hear rumblings of a reformulation, or, I'm just lucky and it works with my skin chemistry. Red Temptation (one of Zara's BR540 dupes), from the same line bombed on my skin though. My most recent Zara purchase is Cherry Smoothie, and I really enjoy it. It's fruity and delicious on my skin and it last for most of the day.
I’ve been waiting to buy the Golden Decade & Sublime Epoque from the US Zara site for 3+ months but they don’t restock it. 😭😭 I hope it comes back soon!
Hi Have you tried Zara's Ebony Woods? It is getting a lot of shine from various influencers. Apparently it is a warm spicy woodsy fragrance that is made up of ebony wood, cloves and pink pepper. That profile does not immediately appeal to me but there is so much hype that I am tempted to try it.
I have it and don’t enjoy it. It’s smooth and spicey…it’s actually a very nice fragrance but it is too masculine for me…it’s really nice just not for me at all.
My way changed on me too, had to give it away. Last summer it was beautiful and bubble gummy, I think after i started taking some medications, it went horrible and greenish-rotten like smell, giving me a headache and nauseous. I thought it was gone off but supposedly it hadnt.
I own all of these besides the Libre dupe and I enjoy them all. For now, I don’t feel the need to buy the real thing… Have you tried Venice? It has a berry note in it that reminds me of Amethyst or Rouge Trafalgar. Berries with a woody earthy note in the same way Amethyst does. To my nose anyway. I bought a travel spray and I’m thinking about getting a big bottle. I destahed Amethyst and I’m having regrets! 😅😂🤣
I haven't smelt Delina so I can't compare but to me, Fashionably London smells EXACTLY like the original Stella by Stella McCartney! I have Vibrant Leather for Her from Zara which i've heard compared to Aventus for Her (another one i haven't smelt so take that with a pinch of salt) and is absolutely lovely - a gently fruity, creamy, buttery soft leather. I have a few of the Zara mens ones too, Warm Black is quite similar to Tobacco Vanille, I wouldn't call it a dupe but definitely the same kinda vibe & 9.0 wishes it was Dior Homme but falls disastrously short and ends up smelling like plasticky synthetic new-car smell 🤦♀️😂 p.s. all my Zara ones have a pretty short life on my skin but last FOREVER on clothes, go figure 🤷♀️
Speaking of Roses Vanille, I personally think that Crystal Rose by Swiss Arabian is a $30 version of Roses Vanille if Rose Gourmand isn’t IT. I have been hemming and hawing about Sublime Epoque so I think I will definitely check out now.
The thing you do with your fingers in the begining of all of your videos is weird and kind of off-putting. You don't need it, as you have a really nice personality.
Thanks so much for the feedback. I’ve been told by many to never stop doing it but I’m personally kind of tired of it! It will be on for a few more videos that are pre recorded and then I just may take a break!! 😀. Thanks for your honesty!
Sublime Epoque and Golden Decade are both beautiful !!!! 😍

Both Julianna Perfumes and Be Layered have beautiful and pretty accurate renditions of Delina. I'm not sure about rosee though!

Good to know!!!
I can't find Golden Decade anywhere, I think it's discontinued here in my country 😭 I want it so bad
What country are you in? It hasn’t come to Canada yet…at least that I know of!
@@mariacollettlife I'm from Belgium. I know it was in stores when I looked up where it was available but it wasn't in my area at that time and now it's all sold out and the website says "coming soon" for months now
It says that on our Canadian site too!!
I lovvvve libre! Will have to try golden decade
Awesome, yes golden decade is a fantastic option.

I really enjoy Zara’s perfume

Hi Marie, Zara is ok for fragrances I have a couple of discontinued ones that I likebut really I’d rather have the original !
I think they make decent ones but I agree…would rather have the original! 😀
Zara have some great fragrances and great value for money
Hugs 🤗

You are correct it's a great dupe
Sublime is really decent
Your a fav!👍
Thanks so much!
Golden Decade is overrated
