Youth or Cloud Collection ?
Immediately after spraying it on, I immediately thought of "Cloud Collection | Zarkoperfume", the two smell similar, I'm really amazed.
I immediately sprayed "Cloud Collection | Zarkoperfume" on the other arm to compare directly...yup, the two are so similar that I seriously considered putting Youth on my WL and saving myself the pricey CC.
After a few minutes, however, you realize that they are two different fragrances. Youth smells much fruitier, fluffier, peach, melon....
the CC is woodier, harder ...and slightly salty.
I fear the worst, namely that Youth will also go on the WL. I hope it has a lousy shelf life. "Cloud Collection | Zarkoperfume" has a very good shelf life because I've already spent almost 10 ml of my AF.... and I'm sure I'll buy it at some point. It's worth the price to me and if Youth doesn't make it, it's out (thoughts from a perfumer who is bravely fighting addiction!).
However, I wasn't even aware of CC's woodiness until this test. Until then, it was a beautiful, fruity sea buckthorn fragrance for me. And what a good fit it was for my relaxing Rügen vacation, I realize how unisex "Cloud Collection | Zarkoperfume" is...the silly barriers in my head, but maybe it's interesting for one or the other to know. However, I really like the tart, fruity, woody fragrance.
One hour after application.
Unfortunately, this fruity fluffiness recedes in Youth. Flattens out, I hope not into insignificance, not that there remains only a flattened plum with a little musk...I am a little disappointed.
Two hours later.
It has a lovely fruity scent, initially fluffy and powdery. Later it becomes more restrained, but the plum remains. Light woody notes now come to the fore.
Youth is a beautiful, totally pleasant fragrance!
After three hours.
Youth becomes more woody, it is similar to CC, even if it is sweeter overall, great fragrance, more feminine. I wear it for about 7 hours. I think it simply has more fragrance progression! If you like that, you should go for Youth, because :
"Cloud Collection | Zarkoperfume", on the other hand, is a beautiful piece of driftwood that was washed up on a Danish beach straight from the North Sea. Feels strong, totally unisex! Dreamlike! Slightly fruity, salty and woody and the whole thing feels firmer, not fluffy and soft. And it stays like this for many hours, I don't notice a fragrance gradient like I do with Youth. The longevity is incredible. When I apply it in the morning, I can still smell it 12 hours later.
Zarko fragrances are the complete opposite of oriental perfumes or lush floral scents.
They are beautiful, Nordic fragrances. I love them, as I live on the Danish border.
They are light and strong at the same time.
My notes are a bit older and I now own the "Cloud Collection | Zarkoperfume" I like the power and the straight scent progression better.

I don't think he's that oriental
It's no use.... it was reformulated and yes, it certainly smelled better before, lasted longer and at all. But nu it is just so that we have to live with the new version.
Thanks to the souk here I now hold a bottling of Samsara in my hands.
