Zero Plus Feminine Diesel 1999

I tried this because I love the scent of coconut, and I read here that this fragrance smells a lot like it. Well let's just say I didn't get coconut from this at all. Instead I got a sour, synthetic, nasty smell. This is definitely a perfume that I would not recommend to anyone.

"Diesel Zero Plus Feminine" is one of those scents that at first glance you don't know what to expect from, the notes could turn out either way and the bottle looks very *industrial revolution*. When you take the bottle out of its plastic box, it has no cap, so its very bare and minimalistic looking and is -in my opinion- more suitable for a male fragrance.

On my skin the first whiff reveals a creamy pineapple with a coconut note, a warm vanilla aura and a pinch of nutmeg/pepper. In the middle phase magnolia and sandalwood appear and they persuade a shy amber to accompany them.

Just when you think its gourmand all the way the magnolia gives it a floral vibe and settles in a sandalwood/ amber drydown, but the pineapple is never far away. It's a scent one loves or hates. So many things can go wrong with this (the pineapple can be perceived as sour on some chemistries) and I can understand people who say that they don't like it. It is indeed a scent that is fickle and very moody, but if it works with your chemistry you have a scent that is quite unusual and definitely not mainstream!

I like it for those moods when I crave something very different from the rest of my collection. It also suits my: "I wanna be on a tropical island" mood.
It's a coconut-vanilla gourmand with a slight boozy edge (pineapple) and its yummy and sweet with a spicy backbone. It's definitely a scent you must try and wear a while before purchase because it's really that *odd*!

Silage is: I can tell you've been to a tropical island! -- Longevity is: a long afternoon in the sun, 5+ hours. Love it or hate it, but sniff it if you can...its quite fun : )

I get so confused when I smell this fragrance. The first ten minutes I want it to go away. The cloying black currant/coconut mix is awful. When it dries down the scent becomes a bit better. But never close to good. Is this a try to make a summery beach/sun/drinks/party scent? Mission failed. Too confusing and a bit of a mess.
The name Zero describes this fragrance so well: zero chance of me wearing it and zero chance for me keeping it. I tend to look for positive aspects, though, every time I write a review. In this case it is the bottle. Quite innovative and young in a great sparkling red colour. The backside of it is that the bottle becomes sticky over time, due to the material that covers it. I suppose Diesel would have wanted me to use the perfume - not to have it for many years. Well then… they should have made me want to wear it.
Year 2, 242/365

Due to a post on my bulletin board, I'm writing this comment now. I'll give it a try.
This fragrance was available at Rossmann, and since I love spicy scents, I had to take it with me.
First of all: please wait until the strong alcohol note at the beginning has faded, then it gets really good.
The scent starts fruity-spicy, with a distinct orange-cinnamon-pepper note.
When I was at Rossmann, after the saleswoman had sprayed some on her arm, she immediately said: "It will get much lighter." I hadn't even asked about that, I hadn't complained about anything, and I didn't find it particularly heavy anyway. So it's not really a spice bomb that only fits Christmas, especially with the flowers that assert themselves quite soon. I think it's a nice combination. Cinnamon, clove (very subtle), jasmine, rose, fruits...
The base note is really delicious, vanilla and coconut, while it remains fruity, spicy, and never becomes too heavy or cloying. I can smell patchouli way in the background.

As I said, this is not a heavy scent, even though the notes might suggest otherwise. It stays close to the skin and definitely doesn't leave a cloud behind. I think it's wearable all the way into summer, as long as it’s not too hot. Diesel does have a sporty, casual vibe, and this fits in well with that.

Hello, I’m new here, and therefore I don’t really have any experience describing perfumes, nor do I have a “floral-extravagant” writing style; I hope that’s not a problem.

So I’ll just dive right in with this perfume, as I saw it sitting in a drugstore today. I didn’t really expect much from this scent, as perfumes in a drugstore are usually so... unremarkable and somehow smell 90% like most of what’s offered in such stores: cleaning products!

But the unusual red bottle drew me in like a magnet, and after passing by it for the 5th time, I had to try this “horrible little water.” And WOW, it’s not horrible at all! After first only smelling it on a paper strip, I just had to know how it would work on my skin.
On the test strip, I smelled pure coconut, instantly reminded me of my youth, as I had a super coconut-scented hair shampoo from the brand “Guhl,” and since then I’ve been a total coconut fan.
However, the scent of the perfume wasn’t that - how should I put it - headache-inducing, overpowering sweet coconut scent that you know all too well (not even the shampoo back then), but somehow a bit “drier.”

I finally bought the scent today at a bargain price (14-15 euros); even when opening the unusual packaging (the perfume stands in a white holder with a transparent plastic “glass dome” on top), a scent wafted out, wonderfully smelling of summer and sunscreen, intense but not too intense, and pleasant. When applied to the skin, a woody-soft scent unfolds; normally I don’t like it too dry, but this one: just right (I can’t - yet - sniff out the exact scent components)!

Then it quickly becomes “coconutty” for me. But - as already mentioned - in a pleasant way. I’ve had it on my arm for about an hour now, and I keep smelling it, I find it really delicious!
Upon closer “sniffing,” it seems slightly powdery, maybe a little soapy, and very warm, creamy.

I didn’t notice any overpowering sillage; as my predecessor wrote: close to the body. That’s true.

After searching for something comparable for years, I finally found it - FINALLY! The ideal summer scent that transports me to a world far away from everyday stress, somewhere on a deserted island, me in my lounge chair, thickly slathered in sunscreen and sipping a piña colada.
Wonderful!
