A more mature Classic 8.0
Since this is a flanker for Zara Classic 8.0 I'll treat it as such.
I feel this is a slightly more sophisticated version of 8.0, where it's less fruity and more suited for casual business wear. It won't upset anyone, but does have a slightly unique smell that relaxes. I wouldn't wear it over 25 though. By then you'll have come across more interesting fragrances.
What differs from the Classic version is the more pronounced citrus opening, and the absence of the sweet synthetic melon. It's still driven by the dusty, freshly-ironed-shirt accord of violets and marine notes in the heart. Within half an hour the patchouli does it's work and pushes a bit of incense, a spicy accord through, yet it remains very sublte. It stays dusty fresh, and has a greener vibe than the Classic 8.0
Sillage and performance is as expected: short projection, and just about a skin scent after an hour or two.
There's no major difference between the 8.0 line as a whole, so if you have one, maybe look beyond their flankers and find something more distinctive.
