For Him Red Edition

This bottle is a blind buy, and it turns out to be surprisingly amazing. After the initial test, I read some reviews here and watched some videos reviews on Youtube, and learned that most people compare it to BR540 by MFK. Then I went to the store and smelled BR540. I do agree with those remarks that this is a dupe of BR540. This is a sweeter yet less "complicated" version. I am attracted to the initial sprays. It is sweet, almost candy-like, yet warm and deep. It smells delicious as a well made dessert, yet not cloying. Normally I am not a fan of gourmand perfumes, as I often find them too sweet, like syrup sticking to my skin. However, this one has the "right" level of sweetness to my nose. It is a very simple perfume. That's why I would say, compared to BR540, it does not have that much depth. On my skin it can last the whole day, and I have received compliments in my office. This is a beautiful perfume for cold days. It comforts you, it warms you up. If you are looking for either a cheap substitute for BR540, or simply a cheapie with good performance for winter, I highly recommend this bottle.

Another Baccarat Rouge copy in the market. Great version for the price. Lovely and comfy Fragrance! It gives a lot of childhood memories, like eating sweet caramelized popcorn memmories! Zara version is vey sinthetic and has more citrus and fresh notes than the original Baccarat Rouge. Opens more sweet, like a caramelized orange slice, than the sugary melts and becomes more citrus, fruity and ambared based fragrance with some pink pepper notes and soft powdery nuance. I love the way that the amber was worked as a sugar and caramelized smell in the beginning. Well done. Very simple, easy to use works good, any moment and most of any temperature. Great for office and signature scent IMO, use this at temperturate under 25oC (not very hot summer day) It has more romantic side, this is awesome for dating. Totally genderless Great perfomance: 7-8 hours lomgevity Great sillage for 3 hours. I can notice a friend of mine who wears Zara Red for Him for 3 meters far from me. Even it has a strong sillage, it doesn't annoy anyone

i have tested both zara for him red and br540 side-by-side and i find that it's a 95% match. zara's version has a slight sharper/spicier note included but maintains the br540 dna, while br540 smells soft throughout in comparison. longevity for zara's is moderate, sillage is moderate, but of course falls after a while, roughly 6-8 hours. overall it is a very good resemblance and to the normal person there wouldn't be any difference. would recommend if you don't want to spend the hundreds of dollars. i have also tested the 'intense' version. the intense version takes a little bit longer to work, and i feel like there is a slight difference in notes, as when i tried it, it didn't hit the same as the non intense version did. tl;dr zara for him red : 95% match and smells like it instantly (although slight alcohol opening) zara for him red intense : takes a while to start smelling the same, but only 85% the similarity, and does last longer (in my experience)

br540 dupe without a prominent saffron/latex/dentist office/bromine note. this is either good or bad depending on who you are. not an exact clone. because of this, the moss comes out more prominent when smelled up close. the citrus is extremely rare to pick up, if it all. it would be a great twist to add a touch more orange or bergamot just to brighten it up. has the same airy, transparent quality. best smelled in the air just like the original. though it's sweet, it's not cloying or heavy. either due to the high chance of going anosmic or the intrinsic wispy quality to it. sillage isn't great which is super safe for everyday use. creates a nice bubble though. performance is mixed depending on your environment. on dry days it's gone within a few hours, but in humid days it performs well at around 5-6 hours. last long on clothes. well worth the money, would absolutely recommend to anyone that likes the br dna but doesn't like the saffron.

Ladies don’t let the FOR HIM confuse you - this is completely unisex. I love it on my husband but also feel comfortably feminine when I wear it. It is sweet. No latex or rubber vibes. When I wear it I do find it does a disappearing act (sometimes not always) but when my hubby wears it I smell it long & strong lol. I have a lot of BR540 dupes and clones (mostly because I enjoy the scent profile but refuse to pay the OG prices when I go noseblind to it) and this is one of my favorites. Not a spot on dupe for the OG BR540 but Zara’s take on it in this version is gorgeous. I am on my 3rd bottle. I don’t care for Red Temptation EDP or Elixir but Red for him is truly beautiful. Try it on yourself and your SO wether you are male or female! It’s super affordable, the bottle is cute and it smells divine. Highly recommend to all and hope that Zara keeps this in their lineup for a long time to come.
