Scentrack:
Toto & Cheryl Lynne – Georgy Porgy

There was a big hype about Rich Warm Addictive, and with a good reason, I must concur. In my opinion Rich Warm Addictive is the best Zara fragrance for men to this date. However, I don’t consider it as a masterpiece. Rich Warm Addictive is sweet, cozy, affable, almost edible and very affordable. Unfortunately, the perfumer of this fragrance is not publicly known, but this person created a pretty good scent.
Rich Warm Addictive is very sweet from its first second. To my nose, there is an unidentified fruity note in the opening. Honey is very pronounced in Rich Warm Addictive, and in combination with huge tobacco creates a slightly alcoholic apricot mirage, similar to apricot in Slumberhouse Kiste. Like a Southern Comfort liquor accord. The coconut note is also strong, and gives the impression of suntan lotion. Personally, I like this coconut background role. At the base I can detect some light, artificial, but nice sandalwood note and some nuances of vanilla.

Rating: 7.5/10

Zara best One perfume for man?
Zara Rich/Warm/Addictive is considered one of the best Zara perfumes for men, if not the best. Obviously there is a reason for this: it is a very well done perfume! First of all it is a perfume for both sexes. Because it is warm, sweet, creamy, subtly spicy, sensual and very comfortable on the skin. Smells like "vin brulé" that is cooked in the coldest days of winter with spices and sugar and drunk hot to get rid of the impression of bitter cold. For this reason it reminds me of the Christmas time. Beyond this combination with Christmas, this perfume can be worn safely almost all year round, avoiding the hottest season. It costs 12.95 euros and it is comparable to all effects in far more renowned and expensive perfumes. To close the review I must say that personally I have not yet found a person who does not like this perfume, and that's saying something ...

It's back. It's different. And better than ever.
Imagine my surprise when visiting my local Zara today and finding this long since discontinued hype monster on the shelf. "Awwwwww," I thought. "Isn't that cute? They brought it back. Good for them. Good for them."

The original RWA was just too sweet for my taste. I know people say coconut lotion, but to me it was just way too feminine.

In an attempt to refresh my memory, I had a spray from the tester bottle. Whoa. Immediately - this smells different. The opening smells like WINE!!! Literally like some kind of booze. Ten minutes in, a dark chocolate started coming through with a far more subdued vanilla. I couldn't believe what I was smelling. They definitely changed something...

It's like they took all the good stuff from the original and cranked it way up, while getting rid of that shuddering sweetness. The overall feel brings to mind having dinner at a fine restaurant. Imagine the brighter cousin of Black Vanilla Absolute by Perry Ellis but without the oud. I hastily grabbed the last bottle off the shelf. Nobody seemed to have touched the other frags (including its' #tobacco brother, which I'm now regretting not smelling) but RWA was just sold out, thanks to me. Crazy how popular this is going to be.

I had a look on the website and the new notes are Rum, White Peony and Vanilla Bourbon. Now tell me that doesn't sound delicious, right? And I literally get all of it - the booze, that awesome vanilla, and some kind of pleasant floral in the background. Very well blended, more masculine and with decent performance. Such an improvement over the 2016 version and just in time for fall.

So yeah, if you didn't particularly enjoy the old formulation (like me), definitely give this new one a sniff. To my nose, the change is remarkable. Wine, chocolate and vanilla - Mi Amor - Valentine's Day, in a bottle.

Scent - 8.5/10
Longevity - 8/10
Projection - 7/10
Overall - 8/10 – Batch #82010

This is magical, rich, warm and boozy. It’s my absolute favourite from the house of Zara.

The rich smell of coconut, milk and vanilla is very obvious from the first spray to the last hour.

This will make your lover want to eat you up.

I literally wear it to bed mostly just because I like to retire the day with that sweet smell and am on 4th bottle. It’s unisex if I must say.

Very cheap and last longer than 6 hours on my body.

Trust me don’t look at the price just give a trial and thank me later .

It may be from their Tobacco Collection, but I don't get a lot of tobacco from this..
RWA is a delicious and boozy warm vanilla, that may be very linear, but enjoyable none the less. At first I thought the creamy nuttyness derived from hazelnuts, later from roasted chestnuts but at last it struck me : it somehow smells like coconut. Very good projection and excellent for cuddling up or for dates. This is the kind of scent you'd want to wear on a cooler day with no wind, seeing friends or family you love for a warm beverage and later lounging up with your SO in a cozy chair.

Very sweet - bordering on gourmand - and slightly synthetic, but quite enjoyable for a casual winters day. Affordable, smooth and cozy - a very good deal for the price.

The sweetest, creamy, and powdery tobacco you ever had. A bit peppery, spicy in the beginning, honey like, with warm iris and vanilla blend.

A sweet entrancing blanket of scent. Comforting, warm, and distinct. Thankfully the "rich" refers to your savings account post-purchase

The most comforting smell imaginable, duration and sillage are both above expectations. Pretty sexy also :)

A gorgeous, sweet, rich spicy, tobacco perfume. Great performance and value!
Puts many more expensive "so called" parfums to shame.

My favourite fragrance by Zara. Instead of tobacco I get notes like vanilla, honey and coffee. It is really rich, warm and addictive.

Tobacco? Where? One does wonder. At that price, however, you'd be hard pressed to find a boozier opening and a richer bourbon vanilla.

The musk ruins this for me. It has a synthetic Mancera type musk and it's not good. Many better options in this style, even cheapies.

Wished for 2016 version, got 2018... Anyway, it's sweet, boozy cocoa w/ vanilla. Smells like cocoa body lotion. Pleasant but light scent
