Nothing groundbreaking or to die for
Take it as a grain of salt as I am not as experienced as all those reviewers hheheeh.
80 euros with discount!! Another example of shelves' perfumery. It lacks quality, grace and alarming overpriced. However, with a attractive bottle and all of that...
Fresh and minty that don't go away ( and that is the appealing ) despite of losing these characteristics in favour of ambroxan ( what weariness of note! ) , sweet notes and guess what more... given the rather minimal and abstract feeling of it. Maybe geranium, patchouli...
In spite of being a trite scent it isn't unpleasant. It lasts a good amount of hours. Moderate projection, no beast mode.
Unnecesary releasing to try to get our minds anxious about.... mediocrities in the end.

Please no.
Maybe it's just me having an idea on my mind about what should offer a brand like Dior ( extend it to Chanel, Hermes... ) . Too much wordiness, a huge history, big budgets so... one expects something more luxurious.
Instead of that I get a somewhat bland, boring, chemical scent with that feeling of being "just another one".
Does it smell bad? Not particulary, not specially good neither.
Does it perform well? The same.
Can I dissect the notes, accords...? Sorry me, I usually watch YouTube reviews and they appear to be made by sadly lost naturally-talented non perfumers ( irony? ) . In my case I could say many things, specially looking at the listed notes but I'd be being a bit imaginative, adventurous.
Kind of Bleu edt vibe.
That's my experience. Its sillage maybe smell better as often happens with this kind of perfumes.

Not for me.
It's curious how perfumes can differ depending on the sillage vs smelling it close, and depending on the different person's skin and nose also. It seems to have just moderate performance on my skin, with a bit disappointing smell ( a lot of citruses in the opening to end up drying with a incensy ginger with a bothering touch from a sort of acid sauvage's ambroxan like ) .
My surprise was when I applied just 1 spray to another person and noticed the trail 6 hours later being close to her ( she smelt strong even after 3 hours ) and the scent seemed to be closer to that kind of fresh and synthetic mint reminiscent to Bleu EDT and Allure Extreme EDT ( the vintage one ) .
Different experiences indeed. I expected something different on my skin...

I'm not rich unfortunately :)
It resembles a bit of Cedro Di Taormina . They share the basil , blackpepper , cedar and the vetyver . Appart from that , one names amber and the other the labdanum .
It has a quite mature character that doesn't suit my own ends . A lot of dryness yet with a very nice anise counterpoint ( I'd amp it up , to my taste ) . This aforementioned dryness could recall to a empty cigar box , with the tobacco scent impregnated .
It also contains a tiny black afgano adn , but I can't smell marihuana , honestly .
The performance is nothing to complain about , but I can't support these prices tags .

Very decent cheapie .
Clearly inspired by ambre Narguile . So , a very sweet honey is what dominates here ; it could cloy a lot if it weren't because it doesn't have a hammer-like texture . Lasting wise is quite respectable though .
As in most perfumes the nuances and all of that are elusives , it requires a bit of imagination there isn't much roundness and depth usually , even less here being a 15 € perfume .
So , calling quietly to the fancy I could say this very sweet honey dessert includes some cinnamon , a fruity touch of apple and a slighty soaking in liquor . Moreover , let's accept there is a tobacco box some meters beyond .
As I think it happens in others Zara perfumes from this collection , I can notice a little fresh blast ( synthetic apple ? ) which confers variation to the main theme and plus that mass-perfume appeal which will be recognisable .
This doesn't rank bad at all considering the price , the ones expecting Tobacco Vanille performance or let's say a kind of naturalness from Ambre Narguile or Derviche ... they better off keep waiting . Neither I'd recommend it to those who have aforemention perfumes as their minimun standard , regardless of price .
I want all this stay clear because many people get hype , try perfumes and then they ended up dissapointed for not finding cheapies that can replace their niches .
I am praising a 15 € perfume , don't forget it please .
