We all know Im a huge Zara fan, they are well known for offering affordable interpretations of popular designer scents. Performance can vary at times, but the scent is always top notch. I think this was my very first one, bought by my eldest for my birthday. Said to have a striking resemblance to the highly acclaimed, & more expensive, Maison Francis Kurkdjian Baccarat Rouge 540. The notes here are very simple. Opens up with Orange, followed by Amber at the heart & Evernyl at its base. This is a synthetic molecule that provides a mossy, woody, and slightly earthy aroma, often associated with oakmoss. To be honest I would swear there is a tobacco note in there two. Now this might be the amber as some times amber can give a tobacco vibe apparently? Performance wise, your looking at up to 6hrs with projection for approx 2 before it fades to a skin scent. For under €20 this is a banging fragrance that punches well above its weight. Probably my no 1 from Zara. My Rating 7/10 Scent 2.5 Longevity 2 Sillage 1.5 Y/N 1

This is slowly becoming my office dumb reach. Simple but just works. I an curious to see how it’d perform in a relatively hotter weather.

been watching Amouroud a little bit snd decided to pull the trigger on Lunar Vetiver. Nice citrus and sweeter, powdery Vetiver opening. Many will compare it to TF GreyVetiver but I think it’s closer to Mancera Vetiver Sensual or Juliette has a Gun’s Ex Vetiver. Performance for this should be excellent but let’s see. A house that had a brief moment but seems to be forgotten.
