Final Thoughts
It's a great everyday fragrance for those who enjoy sweet, floral scents. Perfect for spring or summer days. But if you're on a budget, or just want something casual to wear, Violet Blossom is a great daily driver.
Scent Breakdown
Zara's Violet Blossom is a pretty decent attempt at capturing the essence of Mugler's Alien Goddess. The opening hits you with a sweet, slightly synthetic coconut water note blended with a zesty bergamot. It's not quite as photorealistic as the original's coconut, more of a sweetened, slightly artificial version. The jasmine and heliotrope heart is where this shines, offering that solar, floral sweetness that's core to Goddess. The drydown is a warm, comforting vanilla and cashmeran blanket. It's missing some of the original's airy saltiness and the amber depth, making it slightly less complex overall. I'd say it captures about 81% of Alien Goddess.
How Long Does it Last?
Don't expect beast mode. Violet Blossom projects moderately for the first hour, leaving a subtle, pleasant aura. After that, it settles closer to the skin. Longevity is decent; I get around 4-5 hours on my skin before it fades into a skin scent. it's acceptable. You will have to reapply to make a statement.
