Invincible... The winner takes it all!
According to my sense of smell, Zara EST 1975 Denim Couture is a Woody Aromatic perfume, mainly for men.
It opens with a big hit of citrus and minty-like aroma, with a blast of sweet and sour from the very first notes.
So intricate and intense, it mixes the new freshness with ambergris (or ambroxan I'd hazard). The sensation it creates is animal, fruity, kind of like dark fruits. Many male fragrances nowadays add that fruity note, which pushes them in the realm of contemporaneity where more sweetness and roundness is sought, for instance, the newer UDV Flash or Ferrari Man in Red.
After a few minutes, it mellows into a sweeter, delicate, almost floral scent, a bunch of delicate white flowers. The heart is aromatic, and even though not mentioned, I bet it contains a kind of jasmine, maybe hedione to empower it.
In a further stage of its development, the scent starts to meld with the skin, and ZDC lets out more nuances of guaiac wood, patchouli, oakmoss, and powdery ambergris. The latter is quite prominent, contributing to a sense of dried fruits.
The longevity is super, 10, and more hours. Unfortunately, the sillage is excellent, either. After so many hours, I am not able to detect the darkness of patchouli or the vibe of moss. Ambergris is all around.
ZDC is somewhat similar to One Million but more fresh and fruity. To me, it is suitable for warm and hot seasons like spring and summertime in Italy. Any occasion is right, and you should try it.
Ultimately, great smell, clean, fresh, long-lasting, it draws compliments. Oops, I forgot to say from the very beginning that Paco Rabanne Invictus is equivalent, I compared both hands to hand.
I was so skeptical, but now I smell so good! Albeit the sweetness, ain't no cloying in hot summer, so fruity and flowery. It's a winner!
