4MBR0X1D3

Ambroxany violet. It feels close to dior homme but not as rich and deep. Great scent but lacks longevity and projection. Beautiful dark, matte bottle. I would pay triple the price of this scent if it had double the performance. Good for office or school if you can reapply it after 2-3 hours.

I've had the "new" 4mbr0x1d3 for over a week now, and while I've never smelled the original 4mbr0x or Another13, this does smell like a fresh magazine, which Another13 is described as smelling like. And I gotta admit, this is probably the highest quality, best smelling $20 fragrance in my collection. Almost has a niche quality to it. Fantastic projection and longevity too. Like I said, the best way to describe this fragrance is that it smells like a strong, fresh magazine. A sharp, non-citrus freshy. This might not be for everyone, especially people new to the fragrance game. It's not a challenging scent, and it's very people friendly, but it's highly unique. 9/10

I love this. A clean, masculine, non-invasive smell, a bit like Lynx/AXE at the very beginning, but in an elegant and more uplifting way. The chemical feel is not really there, despite being made entirely by synthetic materials (actually ambroxan is the main note). I though it did not last that long on me, but apparently it did based on people around me. This thing still leaves a trail around after some hours, even when you can't feel it. I actually received some compliments with it. For 12,95 euros this is a no brainer for me. 8/10.

A cheaper alternative to Escentric 02. Minimal, dry, dusty, pinkpepper x ambroxan with very light projection, almost skin scent immediately but great to layer with other scents. For the price this is a no brainer if you are into recent years‘ trending, abstract, minimal, aroma molecule frags. I expect this would stick to fabric for days though, and keeps that fresh clean effect longer. Very useful to have in every collection!

very pleasant and easy going smell. i cant stop spraying it. Has Aventus and Dior Sauvage vibes but not the same smell but in a same genre. I think its worth buying, cheap, lasting and niche smell. A gem from Zara. All the range is good and strong performer (check out sandalwood and cashmere).

This is FIRE !!!! Its so powerful .... OMG !!! It lasts for soooo loooonnngggg Today i tried on top of Dylan Blue and its such a exciting blend. And i paied 5.99€ for a 80ml EDP Zara keep them coming 10/10

i got a bottle for 3$ and wow. best fragrance from zara. and i smelled it 12 hours later and it wasnt a skin scent it was still strong. cant go wrong. it smells identical to office for men.

Bought this for $15 to use during quarantine so I don't waste my expensive perfume, but actually quite like this and might buy a second bottle...smells a bit like what a robot would think of if someone asked them what "clean" smells like. Dig it!

This is a great "layer" scent. I can layer it with almost everything. On it's own this scent is just meh. Not much special going on. But for the price this is the best layering scent so far.

Cheaper, shorter lasting Escentric 02. Good value as is usually with Zaras, but even if you overspray, Escentric 02 still beats it in performance. Perfect for layering. Completely unisex.

Very, very dry woody scent. Interesting in that it seems to have no warmth, despite the cardamom and sandalwood. Great for casual summer days, for both men and women. Also fantastic as a layering fragrance, though I personally prefer Molecule 02 when I'm looking for an ambroxan fix.

This smells like overheated computer but in a nice way, its very metallic and sharp leaning masculine yet really soft and has a skin like scent

A more bright opening than jhg not a perfume with more violet at the dry down. It still gives me the same soapy clean skin vibe in a more masculine leaning way. A very successful blind buy for me. I have not tried escentric 02 so I cannot compare them.

Smells a lot like Juliette has a Gun, like old people's skin with a bit of greenish dusty sharpness. It's a bit fresh, but I just can't stand it. Blind bought this because it's cheap and I like the other notes, now trying to get rid of the bottle.

A bizarre curve ball from Zara, the last place you'd expect a curve ball from. First and foremost, hats off to Zara for basically flipping off the fragrance industry and offering perfume at low prices. It really is a breath of fresh air. It seems they have a nick for cloning, having had a go at such scents as Dior Homme and Creed Aventus. Apparently 4MBR0X1D3 is a clone of Molecule 02, so reviews for that fragrance will be equally helpful to those interested in this one. I haven't tried Molecule 02, but I've read a bit here and there about its ghostly weirdness. And while Zara's interpretation might not be all that ghostly, it certainly can be described as somewhat of an anti-perfume. The only note I can really make out is violet, but it rests in a cloud of something that resembles human skin and light bulbs. 4MBR0X1D3 is aptly named, and "robot breath" would've been equally apt. As intriguing as it is off-putting, I've heard this described as a great dumb reach, in that you really can't offend anyone with such a faint, clean scent, but there's just this robotic bitterness that I find so off-putting. It's as if I'm walking through a labyrinth of electronics shops in a stale, 1980's building. At the same time however, I keep burying my nose in it trying to figure out what on earth it's really doing. I just might find 4MBR0X1D3 to be more interesting than good, but at fifteen dollars for a 100 ml bottle, I'll survive. Keep em coming Zara.

Just a friendly PSA: Do not blind buy this. Not because the fragrance is bad or anything, but just so you know what you are getting. This is very different from anything else at Zara and maybe even anything else you have smelled so far. Go look at reviews of fragrances people voted as similar to this one - Molecule 2 and Not A Perfume. They get described as smelling like clean skin or soft freshness or almost nothing. I would really advise to go smell it in person and on your skin, not even on paper. Again this is not a bad scent but I get a feeling a lot of people will want it to be something it's just not and might be disappointed. It is pretty affordable so it might be worth the risk to blind buy it anyway if you don't have a Zara nearby. However any amount of money is too much to spend on a disappointment that could have been easily avoided by trying in person in my view. (PS: if you have smelled Molecule 2 or Not A Perfume and like them then I'd say it's safe to blind buy.)

This is gas. If you love ambroxan bombs and understand that half the time you’re not going to be able to smell yourself... you’ll be able to appreciate this. Had no clue it was a EM Escentric 02 Clone. This stuff packs a punch. Even with the mask mandates quite a few people have stopped to ask me what I’m wearing. This, IMO, is a perfect office scent

Ambroxan note similar to Molecules 02. Watery but celery like. Lasts for shorter time but that goes without saying it’s cheap Zara. I like it.. usually a mixer with another perfume for me

Voodoochild82 I am curious to know what a "strong, fresh magazine" smells like... Do magazines really smell? Or by the word magazine you mean smething else? Please explain.

It smells clean and soapy. Projection non existent. I layered it with Eau de Rochas Homme, a citrusy classic, and came out shining and nice!

To me this smells close to Roja Dove Elysium Parfum cologne. It smells very good and has great projection

Has anyone tried this one? Is it similar to Another 13 or the previous 4mbr0x "molecule" from Zara?

It smells nothing like the previous square bottle (another13)
