  Decent projection and pleasant, a note that beats the Zara average. It seems to approach the 2011 Dior Homme Intense, with its base and powdery violet touch. However, upon drying, it settles on a typical cheap oud/leather base. I know it is economical, but at that price, there are better options.

  A unique gem that has nothing to do with the Dior Homme line (despite what many claim). It smells of rustic, bucolic leather, with a subtle mandarin citrus touch and violets adding a magical woody base. Forget chemical leathers; this is the scent of a saddle or a razor case. The opening is strong but soon becomes subtle and elegant, without overwhelming anyone. After a couple of years of maturation, it still lasts over six hours, far superior to other Zara offerings. A wonder for those who wish to be elegant and discreet.

  Pure leather, unmatched. It begins with a brute force intensity before fading into a masculine, mysterious aura that is in no way invasive. The quality-to-price ratio is impeccable.

  It certainly resembles Fahrenheit; it would be difficult to say otherwise given the declared notes. However, it is true that it is not as burnt or petrol-like, and it has that natural touch (which emanates from the earth, as a colleague here says). The problem is that I am not at all sensitive to these smells; I barely notice them. And as is the norm at Zara, the perfume is rather simple, mono-accorded, without much depth. Nevertheless, I recommend trying it to leather enthusiasts.

  This is a true work of art. Nothing more to add.

  For me, this is one of Zara’s best fragrances. It’s a soft leather, suede-like, and violet. To be Zara, it exceeds the average longevity of the house’s perfumes. I have an open bottle and bought another knowing what Zara does with its fragrances. For me, it doesn’t resemble the Dior Homme line or Fahrenheit at all, but well, to each their own tastes, or to each their own scents.

  Hello, I will try to help based on my impressions. It smells of lipstick with a very soft wood; an exquisite scent that those around you enjoy. Trail is one and a half metres, longevity 7 to 9 hours. My recommendation is perfect for a date; it doesn’t leave anyone indifferent and creates compliments. My recommendation is 100%.

  I smelled it today, and on dry down it smells very, very, very similar to Florentine Irish by Ermenegildo Zegna, a 250 euro fragrance and one of my top three. So, for 20 euros for 100ml, it is worth it. The difference lies in the opening; although similar, there is something I don’t detect. Highly recommended, but not at all something to buy blindly, especially regarding the opening I mentioned. By the way, it doesn’t resemble Fahrenheit or Dior Homme in the slightest.

  To put it simply, it’s a light CH Privé.

  Subtlety is the key. Zara rarely surprises me, but this is an exception. The mandarin is sweet yet fleeting, giving way to a silky leather with floral and green touches that cleanse the fragrance. It is versatile, elegant, and reminiscent of many market perfumes. Although unisex, on my skin it feels more masculine. It lasts around five hours with moderate sillage. Notes: mandarin, orris, jasmine, cedar, moss, and amber.

  Subtlety. I believe that is the word to define it. I must say that Zara perfumes almost never surprise or excite me, but this is one of those exceptions. The tangerine opening is as pleasant as it is fleeting, but it paves the way for a soft, subtle leather accord with slightly green floral touches that give a sense of cleanliness. The composition seemed very good to me: versatile, subtle, and elegant, with reminiscences to many other perfumes on the market. Although it is designed as unisex, for me it is more masculine than feminine. I believe it is usable practically all year round, except in the heat. On my skin, the longevity was around 5 hours with a moderate to soft trail. Declared notes on the box: tangerine, iris, jasmine, cedar, moss, and amber. From these, I suppose they constructed the accords listed on this page as notes.

  So beautiful and, as always, now discontinued. I keep the bottle to mature; sometimes this helps improve longevity. Bois de Vincennes smells as if they encapsulated in a space laboratory the ozonic and woody aroma of a European forest. It recalls electric rain, petrichor, and herbaceous flowers, with a lovely synthetic touch that makes it unique. It carries light leather wrapped in violets, different from Fahrenheit or Dior Homme but inevitably related. It is the best Zara has produced in years, a blend of Grey Flannel and Narciso Rodríguez with an electric and addictive mist. Sensual, mysterious, and androgynous. Longevity and sillage are moderate. You wonder why you didn’t buy three bottles.

  So beautiful and, as usual, already discontinued after less than six months on the shelf. I keep a bottle to macerate because, with Zara and similar brands, I have the habit of doing so; it sometimes helps improve longevity and trail. Bois de Vincennes smells as if the ozone, woody, and slightly floral aroma of a natural European forest had been encapsulated in a space laboratory. It smells of a French or German forest, of electric rays, petrichor, geosmins, and herbaceous flowers, yet the sensation is neither natural nor photorealistic because it is wrapped in a deliberately beautiful synthetic touch. It’s like sniffing a memory created by artificial intelligence. The box lists amber but omits leather, yet there is undoubtedly leather in it. It’s a light leather wrapped in a violet protagonist; it doesn’t resemble Fahrenheit because the two notes in Dior are potent, nor Dior Homme because we are talking about different perfumes. However, it is impossible not to think of them first due to the leather and violet combination, and second because of the waxy makeup tone it develops in part. One of the best things Zara has produced in years; it could be an update of Grey Flannel crossed with the original Narciso Rodríguez, without losing sight of the original Dior Homme but without its sweetness, and wrapped in an electric, ozone, and artificially rainy addictive mist. It is sensual, masculine, androgynous, and mysterious. Longevity and trail are moderate. It’s the typical scent that makes you wonder why you didn’t buy three bottles.

  Zara’s most accomplished leather scent to date; elegant, refined, and pure luxury.
