...and yet pleasantly soft.
The scent starts off very citrusy fresh, but this quickly settles down, becoming softer and complemented by a subtly vanillic, slightly woody amber note in the background. The mandarin is clearly recognizable to me, although it might also be due to the blend with the indicated bergamot that it sometimes appears slightly orangey. For me, it's the perfect mix in terms of the citrus components, not too lemony sour, but also not as orangey sweet as a The One by D&G - the perfect middle ground for warm to moderate weather. I don't see it for winter, but that's not a problem, as there seem to be significantly more winter fragrances than those that can be comfortably worn in the height of summer.

I like the bottle; it looks simple and elegant, and because it is colorless, you can clearly see that the color of the juice matches the scent perfectly. In a pinch, you could also use the bottle to take down a burglar. The atomizer itself is good, but the spray head has a very high breaking point, it really gets stuck, but fortunately, it doesn't stay down. The cap could be a bit heavier, but it looks fine visually.

For the price, absolutely great, for me a "blind buy" without risk.

At first, sour cola bottles, then sweet pineapple on an incense-woody base. Fortunately, only minimally powdery, as I don't like strong iris notes, at least not on myself.

You catch whiffs of yourself now and then and think "wow, delicious," at the beginning I also perceive the scent as somewhat berry-like. Nice for cuddling, not intrusive or aggressive in any way, yet strong enough that I stick to three sprays.

As good as the scent is, the bottle is quite poor; the wobbly plastic cap feels really bad. The sprayer, however, works very well, but is so poorly centered that it gets stuck in the pressed position. The metal cap creaks in its fitting made of fogged hard plastic. A little wiggle and it fits again, it will eventually settle in, but you don't want it like that. I immediately disposed of the golden band, as it makes the bottle look downright embarrassing.

Price/performance is excellent for my taste.

Super perfume, pantydropper, can opener (for cans under 25 years, Sauvage, Eros, or Herod are preferred). I like it, she likes it, my pillow likes it. Cardamom, bergamot, lavender, everything is present. Linear progression. Sillage is lacking, longevity on skin is mediocre, but on clothes or pillow it’s great, even transfers from man to woman upon close contact. My absolute favorite, I associate it with a cool evening.

They took Sauvage and wrote "Eau de Parfum" on the bottle - there was still space.
And then they claimed that now there was vanilla and stuff in it - complete bullshit, the stuff is absolutely identical. I've had the EdT on my left arm and the EdP on my right arm for 3 hours. Throughout the entire "duration" there is absolutely no difference.
Very, very cool, unfortunately nothing new ;-)

PS: I got a sample of Poison Girl Unexpected with it. Do you know how that came about? Guess what. Right, they wrote "Unexpected" on the bottle - unexpectedly there was still space. And do you know what else? It smells like the EdT.

Wft?

Honey, coconut, wood - a warm caresser for winter.

It starts with a strong rum aroma, which fades away along with the alcohol and leaves behind a wonderful coconut/honey scent. You have to like the coconut note; it's reminiscent of how some ladies apply coconut cream. I like it. The nutty scent beautifully alternates with the honey, and after a while, slightly woody notes join in, but they always stay in the background. I can only detect a very faint tobacco note reminiscent of Herod; the honey covers it up strongly, and the "cherry" and smoky aspects of Herod are completely missing. Therefore, they are definitely not scent twins. But that’s okay, because there is Herod. And this one offers a very cool variation from the same genre. Price-performance bomb, even though this special collection seems to have been discontinued and is only available on eBay now. Absolutely suitable for blind buying; Zara really knows what they are doing.
Completely unisex; it works for women even in summer, but a man would look foolish; the thought of a Caribbean beauty with a coconut bikini would destroy any masculinity ;-)
The bottle and sprayer are also very good; there’s nothing to complain about, and the design fits perfectly for this type of "private collections."
