Orchid 2019

Orchid 2019 by Zara is a light, fresh, and clean fragrance with a prominent citrus opening dominated by bergamot, followed by a delicate floral heart featuring orchid and a powdery, slightly vanilla-sweet dry down. It has a soft, slightly soapy or shampoo-like quality that gives it a universally approachable, classic character. The scent is best suited for daytime wear in warm weather, particularly spring and summer. It feels uncomplicated and pleasant—neither bold nor memorable—ideal for casual outings, office environments, or as a subtle daily fragrance. While some find the initial burst of citrus overwhelming or off-putting, the dry down tends to soften into a mild, comforting floral sweetness that lingers moderately. It pairs well with other perfumes to add depth, and its affordability makes it a low-risk option for those seeking a light, non-intrusive scent.
