A lacking Imagination clone

The first and instant association I got when smelling this (before trying Imagination) was Davidoff Cool Water. Dunes is a similar sweet-aromatic combo scent. It is better than Cool Water, though, not as cloying. Certainly better than I would expect from Zara. Sweet and warm orange, very aromatic/ambery/spicy. A bit too green-sour for me.

Sunrise is a clone of Louis Vuitton Imagination. It will give you some idea how the original smells, but is notably worse. Specifically, Imagination is more citrusy-fresh. Sunrise is like a wilted version of Imagination. If it were a human, it would be 10 years older - the same personality, but heavier, with less energy and freshness. The performance is also worse.

The name fits pretty well, although just Sunrise, or Sunrise On The Dunes, or Red Dunes would be better. We are not solving a crossword here. The bottle fits reasonably well.
