Navy Black 2020

For $12 bucks it's not bad at all! I don't really get any BDC except for maybe a few minutes in the opening, as it drys down I get a lot of Dylan Blue, as in pretty damn close. I'd say 85-90% close to Versace Dylan Blue. I don't get much Dior Sauvage either, maybe a hint of the EDT but not the EDP or Parfum and I have all three and can compare. I love Dylan Blue and bought a 6.7oz bottle because it's really a nice fragrance that is inoffensive, versatile, good value at discounted prices and it's about 65-70$ dollars for a big 6.7oz 200ml bottle on Ebay from Foreverlux so you know it's authentic. Foreverlux.com is the place to buy fragrances.. Can't beat the prices..!

I bought 100 ml for 10 dollars a year ago. This was my favorite fragrance, i tried a lot of blue fragrances but none of them can replace the “fresh after-shave smell” this one has. It has Blue de Chanel DNA but somehow this one is even more likable for me. I miss this fragrance so much. They discontinued it in a few weeks after i got mine and i am desperately looking for it everywhere i go. It had terrible performance but still, i wish they never discontinued it. They casually discontinued one of the best perfumes they had, please bring it back Zara, new versions can’t replace this one. 😞

Great office fragrance, and good price. Performance is better on clothes, like 6h or so.

Smells great but has the longevity of a fart

I recently purchased all three fragrances of the 2020 Zara Black line. Agate, Warm and Navy and I like them all. Navy Black, as the name and colouring already suggest, is a blue fragrance. In the immediate opening I get citruses with a very faint vetiver. As I really love vetiver fragrances, like Guerlains Vetiver, Terre d’Hermes and even cheapies like Bentleys Infinite Intense, I can say the vetiver in this is weak as hell. That said, Navy Black starts out with a distinct Dior Sauvage EdT vibe, supplemented by Bleu de Chanel, but to me it is more of an attempt to clone Sauvage than Bleu de Chanel. But then in the dry down it fades a bit closer to Bleu de Chanel. If you like Sauvage or blue scents in general, this is a good alternative for when you do not want to waste the expensive original. Longevity is ok. About 5h with less projection of Sauvage of course, the EdT is blasting out a lot in its opening. This is not. It is moderate bordering on soft and becomes a skin scent rather quickly. As a final thought: It feels like the entire Zara Black series (Warm, Agate, Navy) is one of “blended” perfumes. Navy Black reminds me of Sauvage (opening) and Bleu de Chanel (dry down). Warm Black reminds me of Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille (opening) and V&R Spice Bomb (dry down, though here it is the weakest similarity). Agate Black reminds me of Dylan Blue (opening) and Acqua di Gio Profumo (dry down).
