Hey Crew, Yeah, perfume adjacent today. Recently a mate of mine was waxing lyrical about the ZARA Vetiver Pamplemousse fragrance. So much so that I went looking for it but of course Australia doesn’t have it yet. We do though have the candle. So I grabbed one at less than 1/2 price, YAY! So under AU$20 for 200g. Already it felt like a win.

ZARA Vetiver Pamplemousse 200g. Aromatic Candle.

Pro tip: take the plastic cover off the wax before lighting. HA! Yes, me.

Citrus and vetiver and in lovely soft focus with soapy undertones. Very clean. It does change the scent in the room nicely but isn’t overwhelming. No noticeable smoke. It burns OK, the wick doesn’t seem to be a good choice and the candle tends to hollow out. It could be my opening gambit with the plastic top. The smell though, heaven.

Worth a sniff, definitely. I like that it’s going to appeal to both sexes and comes in sturdy packaging. Very giftable.

Might have bought a Vetiver Pamplemousse bottle at Zara in Korea. More anon.

Would you?
