Very spiced but without veering into oriental territory; cinnamon and vanilla dominate. It’s sweet yet not cloying or synthetic like trendy Arab fragrances. It doesn’t project well and doesn’t last long, but for the price, it’s not bad. Ideal if you like cinnamon.
You’ll find a thousand nice comments about this perfume here. They’ll adorn it with fancy words to describe how it smells… I’ll be objective. It’s DISGUSTING. It’s the worst rubbish I’ve ever smelled. Much worse than any generic Arabic perfume. It’s a stinking bomb. The cardamom gives it that vomit-inducing scent that prevents you from appreciating anything. I was gifted it for Christmas and not ONE SINGLE person liked it. Don’t waste your money; buy something of quality. The only good (or bad) thing is that it lasts a long time on skin. It cost me a fortune to get this stench off my hands.
They’ll tell you a thousand nice things about this perfume, but I’ll be objective: it’s disgusting. It’s the worst rubbish I’ve ever smelled, worse than any generic Arab scent.

The only good thing is it lasts a long time on skin, but it cost me a fortune to get that badger-like smell off my hands.
Do not buy it; it’s horrible.
Very simple floral scent, doesn’t last at all, and I didn’t like it whatsoever.

If I had to identify my 20s with a fragrance, it would undoubtedly be this one. It’s black and white; you either love it or hate it. Its capsule-style presentation seemed futuristic to me, and that enigmatic blend of predominant sweetness and citrus hooked me from the first moment. When I want to recall my happy 20s with nostalgia, I put it on 🥹.

I was gifted this; it’s not to my taste, but it has its charm. It feels a bit mature. The scent reminds me of those polishes for furniture and cars. What I perceive most is the cinnamon. The good thing is that it’s super cheap.

I feel sorry for those who can’t appreciate this rich, powdery fragrance. I’m surprised Diesel has brought in a young audience with something so vintage: subtly sweet, spicy, with a sour finish that gives it an instinctive masculine touch.
It’s a pity for anyone who fails to see the potential of this rich, talc-like fragrance. I’m surprised Diesel has brought a young crowd to something so vintage, subtly sweet-spicy, with a sour finish that gives it an instinctively masculine touch.
A HEAVY, CLOYING CINNAMON BOMB. I had it 13 years ago and regretted buying it. Truthfully, I couldn’t find a moment to wear it and it was a blind purchase gone wrong.
A HEAVY, Cloying Cinnamon BOMB. I had this about 13 years ago and regretted buying it. Honestly, I couldn’t find the moment to wear it. I bought it blindly and it was a mistake.
In short, it’s not for everyday use. The scent is very warm and spicy. I like it, but I would never wear it in the heat; it’s for cold climates where its strengths really shine.
Definitely not for everyday wear. The scent is very warm and spiced; personally, I like it a lot, but I would never wear it in the heat. It’s for cold climates where it shines.
Want to smell like baby powder with a blast of cinnamon? Buy this. Besides being cheap, it smells like grandma’s foot powder with that repulsive cinnamon note. Don’t believe those who say ‘it’s not that bad’. Let me put it in one word: yes, with my refined nose, I define it as ‘repugnant’.
Not bad, but it’s more of a winter or Christmas scent. Reminds me of classic Old Spice, ideal for young people. The trail, longevity, and projection are average. In Ecuador, it’s cheap, around $25. Out of ten women, only four like it. I’d give it a 6/10.
Diesel Zero Men is a cinnamon bomb that doesn’t suit me at all. I’m giving it 4/10 and wouldn’t recommend it; it’s very spicy and overloaded with that spice. If you’re looking for something better, try Polo Double Black.
To be honest, it didn’t convince me. It smells like cinnamon bubblegum and doesn’t last long. It was a gift I appreciated and used, but I wouldn’t buy it again; it’s not my style.
I loved it as a teenager; girls went wild for it. Thirteen years later, when I tried it again, I didn’t like it as much. It’s economical, with a heavy trail and average longevity. It’s invasive, smelling of cinnamon like a cappuccino—spicy, with vanilla and a touch of talc. It’s worth the price ($15); if you see it, don’t miss out on trying it, but don’t make a fool of yourself by buying it.
I loved this as a teenager and girls were fascinated by it. Thirteen years have passed, and when I bought it again, I didn’t like it as much. It’s cheap, has a heavy trail, and moderate longevity. It’s very invasive, smelling of cinnamon like a cappuccino, spicy, slightly vanilla, and talc-y. It’s worth the price (15USD); if you see it, don’t lose out by trying it, but don’t go to any lengths to buy it.
A blast of cinnamon! It smells exactly as described: pure cinnamon. When I applied it, it stung my nose; it’s strong. After 15 minutes, it becomes sweet and you can detect the vanilla, although the cinnamon always dominates. It’s not a bad perfume, but it’s not for everyday wear. My brother has been wearing it for three years and never runs out; I don’t use it because I’d end up hating it. The trail and longevity are very heavy. As I have fruity and fresh preferences, I can’t tolerate it.
I absolutely hate it. My boyfriend wears it daily, and it simply doesn’t work for me; the smell of mixed cinnamon and talc is overwhelming.
I don’t like it at all. My boyfriend wears it daily, and it simply doesn’t suit me; the smell of mixed cinnamon and talc is overwhelming.
It’s a very intense fragrance. The best thing is its economical price. I don’t know why I associate it with Calvin Klein’s Obsession.
Strong anise opening, almost like Coca-Cola. I never noticed the orange or bergamot, or anything citrusy, only at the beginning. After a few minutes, it becomes powdery; you can detect the vanilla, cinnamon, and anise, but over time, the talc dominates from the development through to the dry-down. It’s economical; although it doesn’t stand out, it’s a good buy for the price-quality ratio. It’s not among my favourites, but I didn’t hate it. If you like powdery, talcum-like, and slightly spicy fragrances, it’s a good alternative.
