D Collection

The 1st of the D-A-Y Collection, ZARA D Collection is an aromatic and well balanced scent with a ginger-apple feel throughout, accompanied by hints of spices, wood and citrus. I think of its remarkable masculinity when I sense it, and I feel a lot of commonalities with YSL L’Homme. I swear ZDC is an outrageous striking clone of YSL l'Homme. ZDC fragrance welcomes you with a tangy citrus opening, that calms down to reveal a very pleasant, relaxing ginger note whose sharpness has been craftily masked by the cedar. The ginger in there is both woody and a little animalic, yet very warm. It is not spicy but slightly bitter, sometimes even coming off sweet with a hint of cinnamon. It happens that the ginger and cedar blend very well, and are then joined in by the contemporary green basil and violet leaf, giving the scent a more herbaceous background. After a bit, the cedar really shines and gives the fragrance a gorgeous vanilla-like richness, which is anyhow ain't no powdery. A bit of cider apple and sweet pineapple give to the heart a touch of modernity, though neither apple not pineapple are over-standing. The remarkable thing about this cologne is that although its individual notes are quite sharp, as it includes citruses, spices and vetiver, they all work together to create a very smooth and pleasant aroma. There isn't a tinge of harshness in this cologne, and it flows beautifully. The lack of harsh base notes also contribute to the pleasantness. Rather, the dry amber, the vetiver and the musk embrace your body for many hours, without offending or annoying the people around you. ZDC is a perfume that goes through stages of top, middle, and base notes, like a journey that will take you some place you kinda wanna go, kinda don’t... It deserves lot of praise. It is pretty versatile in term of occasions, mostly recommended for spring and fall mid-seasons, I would wear it neither in summer being too aromatic nor in winter being a tittle bit too weak. It has a moderate longevity and projection. This fragrance of contrasts is a unique combination of luxury, art, and modernity for timeless elegance. Perfectly fine as a work-appropriate scent for the 20’s up to 40’s crowd. I would like to state that this scent is absolutely beautiful. Seriously, everyone seems to like this fragrance, especially the ladies. The overall scent has a very radiant, soothing, and gentle vibe that is almost therapeutic.

It's good. VERY good. I'll say this - it's certainly not as bright as L'homme and has a bit of a hollow greenness about it, but it's an excellent replacement for the current formulation. The opening is missing the ginger note, making it less bright and soapy, but the rest of the notes are definitely there. The initial blast is incredibly familiar, but there's an added pineapple note. Soon after, you get a bit of apple, then tonka and amber, which adds some creaminess. About 15 minutes in, you start to get the musk, which only gets stronger and stronger in the drydown In total, I get about 10 hours with this juice, and the projection is actually quite decent - MUCH BETTER than the current L'homme (and I do own both). Just be aware that 1 hour in it becomes a very musky skin scent that basically lasts and lasts. Nevertheless, at this price, I couldn't ask for more. Unfortunately, Zara frags are usually only available for 1 year and then disappear into oblivion. That's why I was more than happy to buy 2 bottles each of this and Y collection, before all the hype began on YouTube. It's just that good. So as far as I'm concerned, L'homme is now officially obsolete. Thanks to everyone here who put me onto this splendid juice! Scent - 10/10 - for value and similarity Longevity - 8.5/10 Projection - 7.5/10 Overall - 9.5/10 - ABSOLUTELY no question.

Quick update: The more I wear this, the more floral it seems to become. That's not a bad thing though, since my gf stole my bottle and I had to crack open my backup just to continue wearing the stuff LOL. Anyway, just be sure you're down with a STRONG soapy violet and musk (with a touch of pineapple) before going nuts on the trigger; because more than once I've been given the compliment of "you smell beautiful." Beautiful? On a man? Okay.........

'D' definitely have a Pineapple and Ginger notes with Ambery dry-down which are not listed. It is green, floral and musky. Great scent with L'homme vibe, yet would not call it a clone. Few people said that it has incredible performance up to 10-12 hours, yet from few wears I had, I can say that it has only 1-2 hour projection, after that mark it becomes more of a skin scent for about 4-6 hours. Have to go with at least 5 to 6 sprays.
