It smells clean but quite artificial, like an air freshener. I simply can’t stand it. Fortunately, I bought the 30ml version.

Smells clean but very artificial, like a room freshener. Doesn’t really convince me. Luckily, I only bought the 30ml version.

Followed the reviews and gave it a try. It’s fresh and floral, but I can’t detect the musk 🥲. Truth be told, it’s not for me.

Warning: I suffer from chronic migraines. I was looking for something soapy and starched, like fresh ironed linen or pillow spray, and the words ‘clean’, ‘flowers’, ‘daily’ and ‘fresh’ convinced me, but I was let down. Upon application, it does smell of a soft aquatic lotus, but within five minutes it vanishes and peony takes over. I’m not a fan of roses as they remind me of my grandmother, and this peony is the same. With just one spray, it clings to my nose and I can’t detect the musk. I agree it smells childish, delicate and unoriginal. For £8, it’s worth a try. To make it work, I layer it with a woody scent (Equivalenza Cachemire 784 in Spain) which adds a sophisticated touch, making it reminiscent of Narciso Rodriguez’s For Her.

Very fresh, smells like soap. Ideal for everyday wear if you want to smell clean and floral. Longevity and sillage are moderate.

PERFECT FOR SHOPPING: one of my favourite Zara scents for running errands or daily wear. I find it super lovely; it’s an aquatic floral. I’m really looking forward to wearing it to the gym. It’s feminine and super fresh, one of those scents everyone likes.

Floral and sweet, I bought it for the gym and it’s perfect. The sillage is quite poor close to the skin in the first 2–3 hours. Nothing complicated, suitable for daily use if you don’t want it to be too noticeable, but I do recommend reapplying. It’s decent for the price but nothing special.
Ojos Claros
Lotus and peony, similar to Versace Bright Crystal for Women. Don’t confuse it with Nude Bouquet, which recalls Miss Dior Blooming Bouquet.

Floral, sweet, fresh and aquatic… Very feminine and youthful. Personally, I find it a bit ‘girly’; if you’re from Argentina, the scent reminds me of ‘Coqueterías’. It’s for everyday wear, spring and summer, nothing invasive. As a gift for a 13-year-old girl, it seems perfect, and although I use it for work, I wouldn’t buy it again (I’m 27). Pros: the price, I bought the 30ml version (along with Deep Garden) and it’s wallet-friendly, easy to reapply. Soft sillage, lasts about six hours on my skin. Pleasant fragrance, appropriate for the price.

I don’t have much to add to the existing reviews. Just that I’d be tempted to buy it as a gift because I doubt anyone wouldn’t like it. It’s for everyday wear and requires reapplication. Very feminine and fresh.

Floral, soft, feminine and youthful. As it’s very fresh, I recommend wearing it during the day and reapplying every 5 or 6 hours, preferably in spring, for daily use. I bought the 30ml version along with Deep Garden, and personally, I find Lightly Bloom more pleasant and longer-lasting on my skin (I have dry skin, which makes perfumes last a mere breath).
carolk22
Fresh, soft and youthful. Ideal for daytime, though on my dry skin it fades in a breath, so I reapply every 5 or 6 hours, making it better suited for spring. I picked it up in 30ml alongside the Deep Garden, and in my opinion, this Lightly Bloom smells better and lasts longer.

Love at first sight. I was looking for it as a Christmas present and the box with botanical drawings won me over; once I realised it was from Zara, curiosity got the better of me and I tried it. It’s an aquatic floral, reminiscent of Cool Water or Bright Crystal, evoking a garden corner with lotus, iris, daffodils and peonies. Very feminine, perfect for spring-summer with patterned and boho outfits. Good longevity and a subtle trail for everyday wear.

Found this perfume while looking for a Christmas present and fell in love at first sight. I’m smitten with its lovely box featuring botanical flower illustrations. It’s from Zara, an aquatic floral reminiscent of Cool Water or Bright Crystal that transports me to a garden corner with a lagoon, lotus, iris, daffodils, and peonies. Very feminine, ideal for spring or summer with boho outfits. Good longevity, a subtle trail, perfect for everyday wear.
Paniperfums
Lotus Flower brings aquatic notes and a sweet touch of white pear, very calming. Peony dominates the heart with great tenderness, perhaps with a subtle hint of rose not listed on the website. This central phase lasts for most of the time before blending into the base: a clean musk, nothing animalistic. It lasts 5-6 hours on skin and 7-8 on clothes. It starts strong with good sillage, then becomes more intimate.

Lightly Bloom is a clean, fresh aquatic floral where lotus and peonies take centre stage. On me, it projects well and lasts 8–9 hours. I tried the Summer version and it smells the same, just softer. It also comes in a pack with Nude Bouquet, another spring floral; both dry down similarly, but Lightly Bloom is more striking and has better projection. Perfect for spring–summer, work or casual wear. If I had to choose, I’d go for Nude Bouquet as it’s more balanced, though Lightly Bloom offers better longevity. Rating: 6.5/10 scent, 8.5/10 longevity, 8/10 sillage, 9/10 value, 7.5/10 versatility and 7/10 packaging (the original box is lovely: 8.5/10). I would definitely buy it again.

It’s a lovely, floral perfume with a touch of sweetness. Given the price, which I got at a discount from Zara, it’s absolutely worth it.

I tried it without much hope, as Zara fragrances sometimes don’t last more than 30 minutes. But what a surprise! Lightly Bloom smells exquisite, feminine, floral and elegant, and it lasted quite a while on my skin. I sprayed Zara’s Tuberose on the other wrist and that one vanished in minutes, whereas this made me regret not buying it. I will! The box with its floral illustrations is beautiful and super feminine. Without a doubt, ideal for gifting or daily wear.
MONSTERA
Perfect for gifting without breaking the bank; it’s intense very feminine and elegant. The presentation is flawless with a stunning bottle and a high-quality box featuring delicate flowers. Although it smells strongly of roses at first sniff there are three other notes that make it a distinct floral scent nothing cloying. For me it has a zesty acidic touch that I absolutely love. It has good longevity on clothes and I highly recommend it.

Zara has done it again… it has cloned its own clones of Miss Dior Blooming Bouquet. Although I notice something different from Nude Bouquet and Accord Floral, the musk seems more prominent in Lightly Bloom, making it the closest to Miss Dior. If you like those three, you will surely love this one. The design is beautiful, the box is thick, high-quality, and opens by pulling a little string to the right. I recommend it: it is clean, subtle, elegant, feminine and relaxing.

Zara has done it again… they’ve cloned their own clones of Miss Dior Blooming Bouquet. Although I sense something different from Nude Bouquet and Accord Floral I think the musk is more prominent in Lightly Bloom and it’s the one that most resembles Miss Dior. If you like those three you’ll surely adore this. The design is beautiful the box is thick high-quality and opens by pulling a little string to the right. I recommend it: it’s clean refined elegant feminine and relaxing.
