Zara For Her 2012 Zara for women

Unfortunately, it is one of the perfumes I don't like. Both its performance and quality are even below the zara level.

You can tell its a sicily dupe, but only recommended for those who did not use the real deal, it lacks the exact nuances that makes sicily so special.
This is more wearable though, no 80s hairspray opening here, creamier, less dense, pinker. Just missing that edge, the ethereal glowing JOY of sicily.

This is suposed to be an affordable "dupe" to siciily but too bad ZARA discontinued this some years back!!! RELEASE THIS AGAIN please in the same format! Not all of us can splurge on the exclusive velvet sicily! Oh and ZARA please make a dupe for Armania mania, Armani sensi, Cacharel Gloria and Cacharel Deci Dela!!! Thanks!!!

I dread the day my bottle of Sicily is empty! I cannot stand the injustice of its discontinuation - it's a bloody masterpiece of a fragrance. Imagine if they discontinued No5 just ten years into its life? Sicily was a modern classic.

So I just bought a 100ml bottle of Zara for Her for £30.99 on eBay, arriving in a few days. Logic suggests that in Zara the frangipani would take the place of the banana. My only other experience of frangipani is in Kate Moss Lilabelle, a hyper girly fragrance. I've been watching the reviews since someone first suggested the similarity to Sicily, and my goodness, you guys, please don't be wrong, let this be a dupe!

Will update when my bottle arrives and I can do a side by side comparison!

UPDATE
Arrived this morning, opened up the weighty bottle and - Sicily? Is that you?? Why are you wearing pink?

Oh my god it's 99% a clone! The missing 1% is a speck of warmth and weight - an aspect of heavy cream and banana.
It's the expensive aldehydes of Sicily that Zara doesn't have. I've heard speculation on other forums that it was these aldehydes and new EU rulings which may have done Sicily in.
I'm really very impressed with the longevity Zara has in spite of being an EDT. Sits close to the skin, can't wait to see if it blossoms under AC in summer as Sicily does.

Sicily was my first true love, while Zara isn't as rich or powerful, she's a forever love <3

NOW PLEASE. DO NOT DISCONTINUE HER.

Is this available in the UK or does it have a different name? I can't find it anywhere online.

Now I'm really puzzled: how can Zara smell like Sicily since the second has no frangipani nor gardenia as middle notes??? Sicily is one of my all times favourites because it's a methaphor that encopases the sicilian spirit so well(to me). I haven't tried Zara yet but this doesn's make sense to me...Is it because of the aldehydes that are similar in both? However, I can feel the softest hint of frangipani from a mile because I don't like it in perfumes, so I really don't see how Zara can come close to S. Frangipani is a smell that just doesn't lift higher in my mind than basic cosmetics like soap or body cream. And the bottle, rosy transparent can't have much to do with the idea of Sicily either. I'm really intriqued now to try Zara! Will get back to you with my review.

I want to buy this perfume

Zara for her eau de toilette 100ml, it in a square glass bottle and the scent is a pale pink colour

Bad stuff! Another fragrance that smells like scented fuel...Sickness in a bottle that's full of aldehydes and chemicals. Enjoy!

This one is very similar to Sicily, but warmer and creamier. I can also notice some vanilla here.

l think this perfume is a good one for everyday use. l like this soapy smell ,is clean and comfort and must have for people who loves soapy scents . l read the reviews and l think the dry down is very similar with sicily because both are very soapy but in the opening they are very different. Personally l don't care if this one is not the perfect copy of Sicily because is good in her own. Here in Greece the price in Zara shops is only 10 or 15 euro for 100 ml and for everyday use it worth.(every perfume there costs from 5 euro ,10 euro only 3-4 have 15 euro) . So why not? personally l like Zara perfumes more than some celebrity because they doesn't have that plastic cheap smell for the price they are. Good longevity and sillage for that price is another thing l like in this perfume.

BTW I buy Sicily 50ml at airports' duty frees...

Where can I get it for 35$?? I see just on e-bay for 75$!!

Thanks all of you that discover the similitudes about "zara for her" and "sicily". I was in loved about sicily but now i´m a "zara for her"´s fan. They are the same but not in the Price. That kind of things make me think about the really price of perfumes. In that case, is obvius: ¡So much for Dolce!

I agree it is very similar to Sicily but not identical as some say.A good replacement but not as good.I am beeing a little mean as Sicilly was my first love.

If you miss your beloved Sicily from D&G then grab it!!!! In the first moments there are some differences but after a few minutes they are identical!!!!! Clean, a little bit sharp soapy with a lot of sunshine.....

Much better than Sicily - which didnt work for me. Zara's is longer lasting - holds better on my skin and is sweeter.

So happy to have this perfume, it is like sicily!!
I bought it today, so i don t know yet if it is long lasting, but i' m so happy because it s the first perfume that smells like sicily!! i sprayed sicily on my left wrist and zara on the right wrist and everyone i asked told me that it s the same perfume!! to me, there's a small difference between them, but, it' s ok!!

If you liked Sicily your gonna sure as hell like this. If you loved Sicily your gonna be one happy lady! Complete dupe although I find it a little sweeter and longevity not as good. Great price too. Definitely a great blind buy for Sicily fans. I want to start a petition to bring back Sicily!!!

I guess it was the frangipany & gardenia which gave me headach though the fragrance itself was so nice & clean. I'm not familiar with sicily though so I can't compare.

Why oh Why did they discontinue Sicily.
If this Zara perfume really is a dead ringer for Sicily, I need to stock up. First I need to visit a store to see if its still there. I hope it is.....

I need to smell a Sicily-esque fragrance again!!

Thanks for the advice Mozartiana it's like Sicily in an amazing price 100ml for 16€!!!

I sprayed this one while I was at the pay desk in zara shop, i didnt noticed what its name was , left the shop just remembering the light pink bottle of it. After a few hours later, I arrived my home, but this scent was incredibly smelling. It is little bit hot and sweet , but absolutely very clean , very creamy , soft and feminine. And beside of the beautiness of the scent, its price is a bonus, i bought a 100 ml bottle for 35.$.

Amazing! this is a dead on dupe of the late Sicily by DG! I sprayed yesterday this one in Zara shop and compared it with Sicily when I got back home. It is 95% the same. Which, for me, is a good news, cause I just loved Sicily and sadly it is no longer available. If you love Sicily, give this one a try, it's more affordable than chasing leftovers of Sicily on Ebay.
