In the last year, there has been a lot of talk about the Zara fragrances. With people raving about their amazing scents and their affordability. When seeing the perfumes, I was not only impressed with the range of different scents but the prices. One fragrance that caught my attention was ‘Wonder Rose’, a sweet and fruity vanilla-based fragrance. If you have read my other fragrance posts, you will know that I love a vanilla-based fragrance. However, my vanilla-based fragrances are usually warm, rounded, and inviting, but ‘Wonder Rose’ despite being vanilla-based has a different scent profile.
Wonder Rose by Zara
Ever since I started wearing this perfume, I have been complimented non-stop at work. I have been looking for an indulgent and gourmand eau de parfum fragrance that is also affordable; a fragrance that I can wear every day and re-stock without breaking the bank. To emphasise just how beautiful this perfume is, after wearing ‘Wonder Rose’ one of my colleagues stopped me and asked what I was wearing. Once I told her, she immediately ordered the perfume online!
Wonder Rose is an aromatic fruity fragrance with notes of Pear, Red Fruits, and Vanilla. As I have briefly touched on, one of the things I love about this perfume is its versatility. It is a perfume that can be worn flippantly and daily, like to work, but in the same breath, it is easily a perfume that can be worn in the evening. Even more so, it can definitely be layered with other fragrances to add another element. For example, I recently went out for my friend’s birthday, and I experimented with layering it with one of my more warm and rounded vanilla-based perfumes – Angel by Thierry Mugler.
With Angel being a more warm and rounded vanilla-based scent, adding Wonder Rose added a playful and sweet element to my scent profile.
Another Zara Fragrance
Something I appreciate about Zara perfumes is the variable sizes, which allow you to ‘sample’ scents before you commit to the bigger size. Seeing as I was able to smell the scent in store, before purchasing and immediately fell in love with the perfume. I bought the 180ml bottle, but they also have smaller sizes available in 90ml.
Despite, how addictive and beautiful this scent is, for all my sillage-obsessed perfume lovers, this isn’t a scent to wear solely. This is a perfume, where possible cons such as its longevity and sillage can be remedied by coupling the scent with heavy hitter perfumes that can help carry the scent.

‘Wonder Rose’ was a good introduction to Zara fragrances, so I will be returning to Zara in the next few months to buy more perfumes. So stay tuned for more reviews of Zara perfumes and more!
