EVER since Sol de Janeiro’s Brazilian Crush Cheirosa 62 perfume burst onto the scene, shoppers have been itching to get their hands on it.

It’s been widely regarded as a “holiday in a bottle”.
Zara has emulated this experience in its new Moonlight Whisper Parfum.
The eau de parfum will likely last even longer than the body mist, giving you more bang for your buck.
Zara bosses categorised the scent as pistachio, cardamom and pink sugar.
“At the top is an enticing fusion of caramelised pistachio, bergamot and cardamom,” they explained.
“Delicate whispers of violet and peony dance with the intoxicating aroma of bellini blossom and pink sugar to weave a spell of enchantment.
“As the fragrance unfolds, notes of skin musks and amber create an aura of magnetic allure.
“Whipped vanilla adds a touch of decadence and warmth.”
French perfumer Jérôme Epinette said Moonlight Whisper is “for the bold and the fearless”.
