Absolutely Dark Intense

#29 on my Fragrance Review Journey I've been waiting for this to be added to the database. I blind bought this from the Zara website late last year. There were no reviews at the time anywhere when I purchased this. Looking at the note breakdown, I wasn't sure how far of a departure it would be scent-wise from the OG but decided to give it a chance. This should really be an entirely different scent versus a flanker. It has no resemblance at all to the OG. The fragrance smells like maple syrup and breakfast. It immediately reminded me of Bond No 9 New Haarlem. I owned that fragrance many years ago and it brought back memories. It is not identical to Bond but the DNA is certainly familiar. It smells nothing like anything else it is being compared to so far. This is a fall and winter scent. I got this bottle for 30 bucks during a special promotion on their website. It is still fairly priced outside of promotions. I would recommend it for anyone that finds this DNA interesting. It was just not something that was interested in any longer and so I gave my bottle away. Lasts 8 hours + on my skin and all day on clothes. Leaves a pleasant, maple gourmand scent trail. I would say unisex leaning masculine. I give it 7/10.
