by Zara
Golden Decade by Zara is a rich, warm gourmand floral that closely resembles YSL Libre Intense, though with a softer, more feminine profile. The opening features mandarin orange and citrus notes that blend into a creamy, vanilla-laden heart dominated by jasmine, orange blossom, and lavender. The dry down is smooth and sweet, with vanilla and floral notes rounding out the composition, creating a scent that feels both elegant and comforting. It performs with moderate to long longevity and moderate sillage, often leaving a noticeable scent on clothing for days. While some users note it can feel too sweet or heavy for summer wear, many appreciate its versatile, sensual character, especially in cool seasons. It is frequently praised as a remarkably affordable alternative to high-end designer perfumes, with many users finding it superior to the original Libre in their experience.
