Zaad Arctic

I really enjoyed the perfume. There was a massive debate in Brazil about how long this fragrance lasts because it's an EDP (Eau de Parfum). Personally, I think all the hype and mixed opinions from YouTubers here about the performance of ZAAD Arctic is just a clever marketing strategy! I tested it out today at a store, and even after six hours, I can still catch a whiff of the scent on my skin. It definitely lives up to its claims, and I'm loving it!

Bom perfume, lembra levemente o Quasar Ice, tendo a mesma proposta, porém tem alguma nota que o deixa mais aquecido que o Ice. O Zaad Arctic também é um perfume bem mais formal que o Ice. Por isso sempre vou preferir o Quasar Ice, sem dúvidas.

#1285 in my "Tour de Fragrance" I paid $60 for this to evaluate it so you don't have to. Absolutely no one is going to ask, "What's that cologne you're wearing?" because the projection isn't even arm's length. This is a standard summertime freshie. My third Zaad and as nondescript as the other two. It's Cartier "Declaration Essence" in a barely EDP version, and it's not like there was a shortage. This is the sort of stuff I keep in the gym bag. Nothing special. Brazilians will recognize the similarity to Natura's "Homem" scents, "Elo", "Neo", "Aromaticos" and "Essencial." Rasasi "Hawas Black" and "Fattan", Lalique "Pour Homme" (Lion), the Azzaro "Chrome" EDP and Parfum, all cut from the same cloth. If you're happy with an EDT, Jaguar for Men (in the green bottle) that old 90's standby "Bob Mackie for Men", any one of a dozen Nauticas, any Lanvin blue can do as well. And if you really couldn't care less about quality and the need to overspray, any Adidas, Ferrari, Cremo or Reebok will fill the same role. I would add in the Tommy Bahama colognes, but their prices are ridiculous for what you get. All basically a dumb reach to freshen up, often for less than $15. But you can get the Territoire EDPs for the same money, so why not? They aren't great, but they make it to lunch. This is car pool, elevator and small office safe. Summer wear for work or play. But given the price I wouldn't bother with it.
