Dark Desert Nightfall Intense

I was in a Zara in Athens when I was just casually smelling their colognes, I was smelling all of the popular ones like Sunrise on the Red Sand Dunes and Sand Desert at Sunset, and came across this one. I smelled it and I was genuinely shocked at how much quality the scent had. I tried searching up the cologne on this website and it wasn't there, and thats when I worker came up to me and said, "thats our newest release, it came out today". I looked at the notes on the back of the box of the fragrance and saw coconut along with vanilla and amber. My mind went immediately to Fan your Flames by Nishane (incredible boozy vanilla and coconut scent). My review: Smooth and seductive, those 2 words is all I need to say, not unisex I would say more masculine leaning. The vanilla is the main player but the blend between the Coconut and pink pepper really bring out the quality in this thing. Thats my main praise, the quality, I don't know how Zara keeps doing this. For the 19 euros (30 CAD) I got this for, definitely one of the best affordable options on the market, and that says a lot. There definitely should be coconut listed in the notes on here, don't know why it isn't. Longevity: 7-9 hrs Projection: Very good, 4-5 feet Overall: 9.4/10

Good frag. Long lasting performance but moderate sillage. The first initial blast is great, zara did it again with their amazing frags, it is a strong frag for the first 2-3 hours then in the 4 hour it starts to become a skin scent which in my book it's a con, but i was impressed at the start so that's something to consider. Dry down is great, you get the sweetness of the vanilla and i do get a little bit of tonka with it, this is a nice scent for the cold season. It is a fall/winter frag, i feel like this will be beast mode in those seasons, also i think it will work best in the night time especially on dates or other occasions. Women can rock this as well, in my opinion this is a unisex fragrance. Price is good as always. Verdict: This is a nice winter based scent that will get the job done, the depth is nice and i can tell it is made with quality ingredients, it is not as strong as you think tho, depends on your skin at the end of the day. CRITICAL POINTS: it is good, unique on it's own basically in my opinion it will be very underrated and some people will like it so much that they will gatekeep it. Personal opinion for it, i like the fragrance but it is not unique enough for me + not loud enough but i am sure people will love it. Overall: 8/10.

A great cold vanilla based fragrance. Vanilla is the main note in this fragrance and woody note just makes it cold and kind of makes it a freezing cold vanilla while spice note gives it a little depth and a little warm hug in your lungs. I already love vanilla fragrances so i was kinda hyped but its too much vanilla even for me. Interesting part about that fragrance is longevity and sillage is way above from Zara standarts. Sillage was not bad and longevity was 2.5-3 days according to my usage on clothes. Overall; above average, wallet friendly, vanilla based fragrance, good sillage, insane longevity, great for cold days of winter and fall.

Vanilla 02 with more body to it, which I found lacking in it, so that's a plus. Will compare with all 3 Vanilla 02's when I get the chance.
