The fragrance offers a perfect blend of amber and vanilla. I personally don't smell the lavender note that is also supposed to be in it at all. However, the fragrance is without hesitation my favorite in my small modest collection. You just can't get enough of the scent. On my skin, the fragrance doesn't differ much from opening to dry down, it just becomes much softer and more elegant. The bottle looks gorgeous in any collection, not only from the smell but also from the bottle. The H/S is very good on my skin, I am often asked about this fragrance. I don't think you can complain about the price either.

Dior Sauvage is a fresh, spicy citrus fragrance that can be worn wherever and whenever. It is not inappropriate in any situation. I definitely see the fragrance on a man, women can't wear it in my opinion. The longevity and sillage of the fragrance is more than enough, while the fragrance is also not expensive. The super good atomizer of the bottle is particularly noticeable. The downside of this fragrance, however, is that EVERYONE has it. I would say it is the most well-known and worn fragrance ever.

To be honest, I only really move in the "mainstream" niche world myself. But when I ordered Torino 21 back then, it came with a sample of this fragrance. It reminds me a lot of Tobacolor by Dior and Kilian Black Phantom, only without honey/caramel but with a load of wood instead. What can I say... It just smells incredibly good. Masculine, a little darker, perfect for the winter season. It's also not familiar, which is definitely a plus point for me.

Personally, I find Zaya to be a sweet, gourmand fragrance for special occasions. Opinions differ enormously when it comes to longevity, but the fragrance performs really well on my skin. However, to be honest, I find Zaya a little boring and not spectacular. The fragrance doesn't change much on my skin. As I said, the fragrance is very reminiscent of Angels Share and since I don't really find it interesting either, it is probably more due to the DNA of this type of fragrance and not to Zaya in particular. So if you like the Angels Share DNA and want to wear something that not as many people wear as Angels Share, then Zaya by Parfums de Elmar is great for you.

The first time I smelled Valentino Uomo Born in Roma Intense, my first perception was the sweetness that gives the fragrance its character. This is realized powdery through a combination of vanilla and lavender. Given the price of the fragrance, which is by no means expensive, you can't complain about poor performance at all. It is not bad at all (at least on my skin) and I have the feeling of being well perceived. You shouldn't over-spray this fragrance, as the sweetness can otherwise overpower you and seem far too dense/exaggerated. Overall, the fragrance is a unisex fragrance that is characterized by its sweetness and powdery vanilla-lavender, is not expensive and has good performance.
