    Absolutely loved it. Smells like those department store lotions, the kind you’d find at a place like Walmart, but with a definite citrus, talcum powder, and pencil-shaving note. I bought two for the office. It lasts 4-6 hours, and lingers a bit longer on clothes.

  2. Interesting. It’s the first Solo Loewe Cedro dupe I’ve tried. Smells fresh, woody, and subtle. It’s decent but fades quickly; it could do with a bit more staying power.

  3. Rich woody fragrance. I agree with Fanperfumero: it smells of soft, light, simple wood, like a freshly sharpened pencil. It doesn’t last long and has no sillage, but I like fragrances that aren’t overpowering. Price: €10.95 in November 2020.

  4. A rich woody fragrance. I agree with Fanperfumero: it smells of soft, light, and simple wood, like a sharpened pencil. It doesn’t last long and has little sillage, but I like perfumes that aren’t invasive. Price: €10.95 in November 2020.

  5. Fanperfumero

    A very particular scent, smelling of new wood, like when you sharpen a pencil. Nothing complex, just clean wood. That simplicity makes me seek it out on my arms or clothes; it’s like something new I want to keep smelling. On my skin, it lasts about four hours (max five), with low sillage. It’s for personal enjoyment. I like it; it’s novel, requires reapplication, but at this price, it’s no problem. 8/10.

  6. Fanperfumero

    A very distinctive aroma, smelling of new wood, like when you sharpen a pencil. Nothing complex, just clean wood. That simplicity makes me seek it out on my arms or clothes, like something new I want to keep smelling. On skin it lasts about 4 hours (max 5), with low projection. It’s for self-enjoyment. I like it; it’s novel. You have to reapply, but at this price, it’s no bother. 8/10.

    A lovely citrus fragrance with bergamot and musk. Simply wonderful, a timeless classic. I recommend it: good, beautiful, and affordable – what more could you ask for?

    A triumphant find from Zara! Although the brand isn’t known for its scents, it occasionally produces miracles like this one. Super fresh with an opening citrus burst, the bergamot dries down to sandalwood and musk at an equal level, perhaps with a touch more wood, but the combination is astonishing. Following the poor performance of Vibrant Leather, this has good longevity and a moderate sillage. It’s excellent and fortunately not widely known. It has that sexy musk note without being unpleasant. Applause!
