Radiant Echo

Zara brought out "Oro di Roma' it's a perfume concentration, not an EdP and even though this one and Radiant Echo have a different opening because OdR has a more prevalent note of incense and pepper in it, in the dry down these 2 come very close to each other. I tried them both and by comparing them now there is a minute difference , but I think this has got to do with the perfume concentration of OdR. I wonder if any other perfume enthusiasts here notice this too...

This is Zara's best mens fragrance and was completely slept on as far as youtube/tiktok reviewers. This is better than Althair, it's easier to wear, mass appealing with a boozy touch but still airier and more fresh than Althair. I recently picked up a back up bottle for £11 on sale. Looks like its gone now. It also lasts about 12 hours and days on clothes. Had plenty of compliments. Powdery, sweet, musky. Zara really upped their game the last year or so.

Welcome back, Antique Brown on a different bottle and name with notably less sweetness, more woodiness and slightly better performance. This could have work under the name of Antique Brown intense, too. Smells much better than what it is sold for. I do not get the resemblence to the Althair, tho. Maybe a bit of Habit Rouge Parfum but with the cognac version.

This is a superb, classy scent . Well done Zara

For anyone who finds Liquid Brun a bit too much, this is a very good choice. Things are quietened down a bit. You still get that same initial boozy vanilla blast before things calm down nicely instead of being too loud, cloying and uncomfortable. I'd say this has the same sort of 'volume' as something like TF Noir Extreme. I feel comfortable wearing it, knowing I smell good, without the risk of causing any offence. A much easier and enjoyable wear. Like many Zaras it's one that you might want to spray more of, and that's completely fine here as it's a very agreeable scent.
