Sand Desert At Sunset Intense

Funny thing: I've seen a youtuber talk about Sunrise on the Red Sand Dunes Intense and then saw the reviews and score on here so I went to Zara to test and eventually get it. I got to Zara and I sprayed Sunset Intense and Sunrise Intense on each hand. While walking home, I kept smelling them and thinking damn, the Sunset one kinda slaps and the one I bought (Sunrise) kinda smells like those cheap concentrated lemon juices that people use in different cooking recipes. Well funny enough, the tester of Sunrise on the Red Sand Dunes Intense was in front of the batch of the Sand Desert At Sunset Intense fragrances. So due to not paying too much attention, I apparently grabbed one of those instead of the Sunrise ones. But, I tell you what, I don't mind at all, despite wanting a new fresh summer fragrance (this not really doing that job), it smells sexy as hell, and I still think I could be wearing this during evenings even in summer nights. I don't have a very refined nose to tell you how this develops and whatever, but I can definitely say that the cocoa, vanilla and butter are very noticeable. If you have a woman that fancies you a bit around you while wearing this, she'll probably want to grab a piece of you ngl

This isn't a dupe for Angels' Share. It's an exact dupe for D'Orsay Tonka Hysteria from their extrait range. Except this doesn't leave a weird smell on me during the dry down. Tonka Hysteria is also an Orris, Tonka, and Cinnamon fragrance. Please STOP comparing this to Angels' Share and Khamra - they are only similar in that they both have cinnamon in them. This is FAR less sweet and cloying than Angels' Share, and is not boozy. Once you stop comparing to those, and instead to Tonka Hysteria, then you'll be able to appreciate this for what it actually is, which is an incredibly elegant, unisex Tonka, Vanilla, Iris and Cinnamon fragrance. (I'm a woman and adore Iris scents - Dior Homme Intense is a fave). It's incredibly complex and you can pick out every note, even though it's very well blended. So, ladies, run don't walk to this fragrance. It's a 5th of the price of Tonka Hysteria and Angels' Share (if you MUST use this as a comparison). Obviously it's not an extrait and again... a 5th of the price, so by those standards, I'd say performance is amazing for the price. Another 10/10 from Zara.

#1821 in my “Tour de Fragrance” Blind bought this and could not be happier. First impression was Armani “Stronger with You”. As it opened up, more like something between Alghabra “Eye of Seven Hills” (an all-time favorite) and Frederic Malle’s also fabulous "Musc Ravageur.” Very incense forward. Smooth, good quality for the price. I found myself sniffing this all day. Leans masculine, but not heavily so. Versatile for any setting, but more causal wear. This was my first tryout of a Zara scent. 1272 scents in the database, so you kinda assume the quality won’t be great and the scents will be generic, so this was a nice surprise. The usual US retailers don’t carry the brand. So I took a chance on an eBay vendor and it worked out fine. Paid $41 for it and definitely worth that to me. Maybe I just lucked out, but I like this stuff and I’m going to give others a try, despite that I note they give fragrances names like “Vibrant Leather” that have no leather note in them. I’m open to suggestions from those more familiar with their fragrances. Good Luck and Good Hunting!

I usually think that you can wear most fragrances in whatever season you want, but this is definitely an exception. I'm not an expert in perfumery (yet) so I won't try to go too in depth about the smell. I can only tell you that I love it but I'll only use it for certain nights in winter/fall. And I do sense the cocoa in here. I need a bit more testing to properly talk about performance and sillage, but so far it's been solid and surpasses what you could expect from a 23€ bottle (100ml). Oh and one more thing, as I see some people voted orris and butter separately, I just wanted to clarify there's actually no butter in here, it is orris butter. I wish Fragrantica added this as a note because it could be confusing for most people. UPDATE: After a week of testing, I get around 2 hours of moderate/strong projection, and then it slowly becomes moderate/intimate. But it lasts like this for 12+ hours (on skin), so if you don't mind sillage to be mostly a small bubble around you, instead of a room filler, this is a very good purchase.

Too many cocoa and rubberish feeling at the opening (i feel this rubberish scent with almost every zara fragrance), but it gets better on the the drydown, smells just like a cinnamon roll. melted sugar and a little bit of fruits with some spicyness from the cinnamon. The fragrance its not plain at all, it doesnt even smell like a zara fragrance but as a designer one. Its a cheap masculine fragrance for the winter, also it makes me very hungry. Longevity: 10/10 i sprayed it 1 time on my watch band 2 days ago and i can still smell it from 15cm. Sillage: 9/10 With 3-4 sprays you can get a good sillage. Opening: 6/10 Very rubberish opening, synthetic. Drydown: 10/10 I love the drydown, i wish i could bite this fragrance. Price - quality ratio: 9/10, if the opening was better this could be an easy 10/10, mass appealing scent with spicy cinnamon roll smell. Should you buy it? This is a PERFECT fragrance for those cozy winters, at $35 / 100ml. Definitely but it.
