Familiar stranger
Musky-Animalic-Fruity-Woody

This intriguing yet familiar scent features just two main accords: Musk and Watermelon. The Musk, reminiscent of Tiziana Terenzi Ursa or Kilian Straight to Heaven, combines animalic fur notes with woody and damp earth tones. The fruity Watermelon accord lightens this combination, creating a balance that's both surprising and fitting. There's likely a hint of Patchouli as well.

The fragrance has good projection and longevity. Definitely worth trying again.

Pronounced Asexual
Smells like none of the Ménages à trois I've ever had... Because of the name, I would have expected an obscene animalic, heavy scent that would take some time to get used to, but a complete failure.
The fragrance is mildly woody, but always rather masculine, primarily smelling of warm cashmere wood, synthetic musk components and a hint of sandalwood. I don't smell anything at all of the fruit or melon scent that some people describe here. But that's by far not a bad thing! The fragrance is long-lasting and blends well with one's own body odor (I have tested it on the arm, neck and body, and in the armpit), creating a pleasantly warm, unobtrusive sillage.

In my opinion, it is a charming, but everyday men's fragrance that makes you feel likeable.

Mediocre
This fragrance is beguilingly delicate. In fact, it couldn't be described more accurately... Soft, warm, it smells of eroticism... it lulls you without anaesthetic... and then kisses you warm on the neck. Beguilingly sexy without being pushy...Someone would have to be very close to you to enjoy it ;)

The dreamers
Ménage à Trois reminds me not only by its name of my favorite movie: The Dreamers, which even adorns my perfume profile :D

As you can probably quickly see in my reviews in general, I'm quite a film fanatic. But no other movie ever managed to keep me glued to the TV so extremely. I don't know why, but the scent has something similar in it.

The smell is great all in all, quite unique without any conflict potential, durable like glue (that's what these experimental molecular scents seem to have), super strong without annoying you or creating a mist of scent and really very well wearable as unisex all year round. So far actually very good, but still no "THIS IS THE BEST SCOFF OF THE WORLD". Nevertheless it fascinates me so much...

Sugar-sweet but still not fully synthetic smelling melon with lots of peach meets washed bed linen and some Molecule01 DNA.

There is only a minimal course, but this should not be expected with the scent that is already so easily advertised. You get what you should get in its best possible form
But back to my analogy... The scent is youthful and very sweet. Not like an 80-year-old woman in a miniskirt and a Fiat 500 in baby blue, but more like the youngsters in the dreamers. Full of hope and desire for life. But that's not all he brings with him, but also the beauty that comes with it, sometimes a bit exaggerated and banal melancholy and a good dose of self-dramatization.

I really can't think of many people that would fit that. For one thing, it's too expensive and complicated to inspire people my age. On the other hand, despite all the love, it is quite heavy to wear when 30 slowly turns into 4. On the other hand it lacks a certain maturity, which the fragrance tries to fend off somehow consistently.

When I wear them I always have to think of the philosophical bathroom or bedroom scenes of the three. Somehow so clever, but often so pointless, like arguing whether Clapton or Hendrix is better.

But also to the freaky and sometimes almost creepy eroticism, which resonates permanently.

But what I have to take into account negatively is the spray head. It sprays super and everything, no question.
But the thing drools without end! I've never seen a Zarko who didn't always have a smear of perfume around his head. Why? It can't be that hard with the really simple shapes
All in all a great fragrance with outstanding durability (12 hours on the skin, a day in the hair for something this fruity is really impressive) and a super performance, which calls for very special poised people.

A Cloud of Sexual Attraction
My partner and I smelled this fragrance a few weeks ago in our perfume house of choice on one of the saleswomen. He just lay in the air while we were smelling each other through some other scents and came back into our noses every now and then. My partner approached the saleswoman and asked her which fragrance she was wearing and then led us to the shelf with the Zarko fragrances. She then sprayed the scent into my partner's hair to try it out. On the way through the pedestrian zone there were various men who were surrounded by the cloud of scent and turned around and I have to admit that I also find the scent very attractive and animalistic. The fragrance doesn't last as long on the body but applied to hair or clothes it can be taken all day or even the next morning. It is very light and fresh and a perfect fragrance in the warm to hot summer months. Women as well as men seem to be very attracted to the fragrance and we like to use it as a layer in combination with other fragrances
