oh. My. God.
(Was just posting on another thread and realised it probably deserved one of its own.)

I have had all really expensive sense( think of all the labels )and normally turn my nose up at cheap ones thinking they don't last, but I can tell you these ones do.
it's got to the point when I get so many nice compliments about it that I've started laughing because they're almost so predictable.

I would reckon at least three comments a day and often in the afternoon when I've had the thing on all day!
I've got the fashionably in London one, I had seen it reviewed online. - thought I'd give it a whirl for £35.
I'm not so wild about it... it's okay but the effect on other people is extraordinary!

I had a sniff of the New York one and thought I preferred that, but not not sure now if I want to risk it 😀

I went to Zara today and tried London and liked it but came away with Amalfi Sunray which smelled of summer! No New York to try unfortunately 😕

Yeah. I'd tip London over NYC

Well done on the promotion. Zara must be so proud

I don’t like any of their JM perfumes but I do love their non JM coffee perfume which is even cheaper.

VeganSteakAndFries · 21/05/2026 20:14

ooo will try them thanks op!
the original JM/Zara fragrances were gorgeous! There was a beautiful orange blossom 😊

I love the immortal vanilla.
I have the original vanilla powder which is ££££ and I do like it but I actually prefer the immortal vanilla from Zara. They're extremely similar
And it lasts absolutely ages.

I'm going to buy fashionably London as I love the smell of it on other people and I'm not usually a floral scent lover.

I've only had three comments on NYC compared to twenty million for London.

Do you say this on all Style & Beauty threads? 🤔

Even if it were an ad, why would Zara be proud? So weird.

JulietteHasAGun · 23/05/2026 13:16

Just tried the London one and a vanilla one in store and disliked both. Now have to spend the day smelling of them 😁

Love the London one smelt it on a school mum and by god it’s so nice bought a huge bottle. So over paying £££££ for perfume

I was sharing a room in a hotel a couple of weeks back with a friend and she was wearing London. I loved it and when we met up with the rest of the group at different times, literally everyone complimented her perfume!
I popped to Zara near work a few days later and bought London for myself as well as for a couple of friends and my sister.
We all love it! And all have commented on our WhatsApp group about compliments we’ve had from others. Have never know such a popular reaction to a perfume.

awfulapril · 23/05/2026 16:26

I'm really sorry you didn't like it Juliette
I must admit I don't think I was wild about it, but I just love the compliments. 😬😀

I am completely in love with the Shanghai one but seems they've discontinued it 😭. Amalfi Sunray and Vetiver Pamplemousse are also gorgeous.

Are most of them limited editions? I couldn’t see the coffee one I like today.

awfulapril · 25/05/2026 15:11

I think they go in and out of stock, but all of them seem to be online
