Sunrise on the Red Sand Dunes Intense

This might be the best Zara perfume ever in terms of projection and longevity. It’s an amazing soapy citrus fragrance, and it could also be the highest-performing perfume in this category, not just among Zara’s offerings. The opening isn’t its best part, as the citrus notes are more dominant than the soapiness at first. But after about an hour, as it starts to become soapy, it transforms into an incredibly beautiful scent. Apart from this transition, it’s actually quite linear and stays consistent. I spray 6-7 times and easily get 10+ hours of longevity. As someone who uses Sauvage Elixir, a fragrance you know can be described as nuclear, I can confidently say this performs at the same level. Zara discontinues many of its perfumes within one or two seasons. With that concern in mind, I purchased two backup bottles in addition to the one I already have. However, I hope Zara makes this perfume a permanent part of their collection, like Vibrant Leather. In my opinion, it deserves it even more. Additional note for the editors: There are two different description for the parfum notes on Zara's pages: 1:SUNRISE ON THE RED SAND DUNES INTENSE EDP 100 ML / 3.38 fl. oz Eau de parfum. Inspired by the deep, warm feeling of a golden sunset, this new, more intense version captures the warmth and addictive facets of fir balsam and labdanum, evoking the mesmerising transition from day to night. The fragrance pyramid reveals vibrant notes of bergamot and ginger, enhanced by a radiant halo of mandarin. As the fragrance unfolds, the base notes reveal a rich blend of amber, intertwined with the captivating aromas of orange blossom and blackcurrant. 2. SUNRISE ON THE RED SAND DUNES INTENSE EDP 100 ML / 3.38 fl. oz + SUNRISE ON THE RED SAND DUNES EDP 20 ML / 0.67 fl. oz: Intense Eau de Parfum. Intense version of the bestselling Sunrise on the Red Sand Dunes. An ambery, floral fragrance that combines the vibrant freshness of bitter orange, a creamy heart of myrrh and vanilla, and a warm base of incense, cocoa and amber, leaving a deep and enveloping trail.

Sunrise on the Red Sand Dunes Intense is a Zara redux clone of LV Imagination. I just received this fragrance delivery so still need time to play around with it, but my first impressions are that the original Sunrise on the Red Sand Dunes (the non-Intense version) is a little closer in scent profile to Imagination. It's brigher than this Intense version. I currently have this cologne sprayed on one arm and Imagination sprayed on the other, and I can tell the differences but, I admit, they are not pronounced. Both are citrus fragrances, but Imagination you can just tell is more sophisticated than any dupe on the market could ever be. At first sniff, you will think, "Orange lemon." But there is an ever-so-slight florality to LV Imagination that makes it stand apart. I think it's the Tunisian neroli, which Fragrantica says could have some honeysuckle scent to it. Sunrise Intense, like the other dupes I've smelled, is just straight up citrus. I've become nose blind at this point, but my wife says this Zara dupe is sweeter than Imagination. From what I've gathered so far, this fragrance also does not perform as well as Imagination. It's been less than an hour since I've sprayed my arms and Imagination still smells as distinct as it did in the opening. Sunrise Intense, on the other hand, is already starting to reduce to skin scent and smells more muddled and mashed together, rendering its notes indistinct. Really, I just smell orange. And I've sprayed on two layers of this Zara fragrance. Sunrise on the Red Sand Dunes Intense is an admirable dupe but isn't perfect. If it performed better, it would be great.

Brilliant scent with excellent performance. This proves that great perfumery doesn't necessarily need to cost the earth! Yes it's reminiscent of far more expensive and illustrious offerings but this will hold its own in any company. I'm not going to exclaim that it's as refined or nuanced, that's for the individual to decide when weighing up the scent, performance and prices as an overall package! I wear it to the gym on rotation and enjoy it anytime I want a long lasting, slightly smug, enjoyable, happy scent blast! It'll project way out of your personal bubble for quite a few hours, but never encroaching or suffocating. It'll last 6-8 hours easily, never really becomes a basic skin scent until the following morning on me! It stays on garments until they are washed.....and beyond! Just wear this at any age and gender, at any time anywhere you like and enjoy it! I really don't care about prestige or price, what interests me is great quality fragrance that does the job and makes me smile, this stuff does that in abundance. £25 GBP (I think ) at your local Zara or online, do yourself a huge favour, save yourself a lot of money and just buy it.....if you like the LV-ish profile of course! Right, I'll be writing a review of Fashionably London elixir at some point too. As soon as the thermometer drops a little and I've had a few more wears to just get the full picture! But I'll say right now that this stuff is just as unbelievable too, not sure what they are on at Zara but bloody hell, they are producing some great stuff at extraordinarily reasonable prices!

Picked this up for £25, which is absolute peanuts for 100ml. If I had to describe it in a few words, it would be an extremely fresh and clean, luxuriously soapy lemon sherbet. It’s unbelievably smooth and airy for a citrus focused scent, there’s no element of harshness whatsoever as the bergamot and mandarin are so soft and sparkly. It’s described as a male scent but I would consider it pretty unisex, a woman could easily pull this off and I for one would be very happy to smell this on a woman. The performance is above average, I get around 6 hours out of it with good silage. I sprayed it around 2 hours before going to the shop and the cashier told me I smelled really nice, and she was over an arm’s length away in distance (first and only compliment I’ve received from a stranger btw). This is one of those fragrances where I think it’s impossible to overspray due to how light it is, there’s an understated subtlety at play here despite its good performance which makes it perfect for professional environments. I had a job interview recently and this was such an easy pick that I didn’t even consider anything else from my collection, it’s just that safe. It’s what a lot of people might deride as “linear”; as in it stays consistent throughout, which is something I personally consider a positive. It gets to the good bit immediately and doesn’t deviate from that course, I fail to see how that’s a negative. I’d give it a 9/10. This punches stratospherically above its own weight.

This is pretty fire. The opening has a realistic lemon that's tart and feels more like a candied lemon... It's interesting to say the least. The best part is how this fragrance transforms. It opens up as a thick bright lemon that's almost sour. Guess what... Then it turns into Bleu de Chanel/Tygar mixed type of DNA and I never would of guessed that before smelling this. If you smelled those you'll know what I mean it's very distinctive. it's not completely exact, but its in the same vein as that minus the incense that you see in BDC. For $35 this is a steal... wear it in the summer and wear it during the day in my opinion it will shine best that way. I have not smelled the first one but I suspect this is a more potent version of that hence "intense". But this is beautiful! and should be praised. I would definitely grab a bottle in case this becomes harder to find. This scent is really appealing and welcoming. It can be versatile and I think everyone would enjoy it I also find it to be perfectly unisex it might even lean slightly feminine to my nose. For me the only draw back is the opening and the powerful lemon drop that's pretty aggressive (you might like that) after it dissipates lets say 5 minutes---it's delightful as it settles. I would just blind buy it for the price if you like lite citrus aromatic fragrances you will enjoy this, and again for the price it's an absolute steal. 9/10

When I apply this fragrance, my nose first encounters sweet citrus accords. Soon, a light fresh sharpness and some fruitiness follow. Gradually, smoky, resinous honey notes blend in. Slightly masculine floral aromas emerge. The scent takes on a balsamic twist and a powdery note from the musk. It is stronger and more intense than the original and loosely resembles Imagination by Louis Vuitton, but it is definitely an independent fragrance. Longevity and sillage are very good for a spring/summer fresh fragrance. I easily get 8 hours of noticeable performance before it fades to a skin scent. Since this is an edp intense, the fragrance only projects about 1-2 arms lengths. It does appear to have a very good sillage trail. I would consider this a masculine fragrance that can be worn by guys ranging from their 20's to their 50s. I also believe it is best suited for spring, summer, and even early fall. I would probably wear this for daytime use at work or casual wear. I may even wear this for a warm summer evening out once in a while, but I have a few summer evening frags that are a bit stronger. I was able to pick this up directly from Zara online for $45.00 (100ml), which is a very fair price. Most of the other online retailers don't carry this or have it marked up higher.

Got this after smelling the OG Sunrise and regretted not buying it in store. I love Imagination (it's my #2 fav scent) and honestly I was looking to get something to scratch that itch when I don't wanna waste any of the LV. To me thise does what Explorer does for Aventus. For the price it's a really good fragrance and worth picking up if you enjoy the Imagination profile. It warrants the "Intense" and does actually smell like an intense, denser version of the OG. On my skin, it comes off a little more creamy and fruity than the LV and for some reason a little more "green." I don't know why, but It kind of makes me think of if you combined 30% YSL L'homme Ultime with 70% Imagination. It comes off a bit more fuzzy(not in a bad way) where as to me the LV is kind of sparkly/effervescent. I got good performance out of it and even now writing this, I can smell it on my skin about 7hrs after wearing it to the gym. And those first 2-3 hours I kept constantly getting whiffs, so I think it projects pretty well. All in all I think if you like Imagination, you'll like this and for the price it is a great pickup. I'll always have a bottle of the LV just because of how much I love it but I'm glad I picked this up.

This is very interesting. The smell and the name are matching very much and also it doesnt smell cheap at all. The orange, the ginger, the amber and other floral notes are well mixed to create something fresh yet warm, a bit airy and a bit creamy and all at the same time. It's quite unique and i cant compare to other fragrances. The performance is almost average, with a better projection it can be a compliment getter for sure. U can use it everytime, especially in non-formal situations. Maybe it's too light for the Winter. For the price paid (25€) it's a steal! Try it because it deserves more attention.. Profumo economico ma non banale, che evoca proprio il nome che porta. Fresco e caldo al tempo stesso, è difficile da comparare con altri profumi. Il mix di arancia, zenzero e altre note floreali è ben riuscito. Forse un po' troppo leggero per le stagioni fredde. Consiglio di provarlo assolutamente. Scent-8 Longevity - 6,5 Sillage-6,5 Versatility-8 Uniqueness-8,5 Presentation-7,5 Backup bottle? Maybe Compliment factor-8 My vote-8 In one word- sand Alternative: dont know... PS: the review is based on the bottle with dark shades...

This is my first Zara fragrance and I was going in with an open mind since I've seen alot of mixed reviews on their scents but this absolutely exceeded every expectation I had. Just to let people know, I have never smelled imagination or the original version of this so I can't compare them. However I will say that this is one of the juiciest citruses I have ever smelt and is going to be my go to every. single. day. next summer. The orange and lemon notes come through strong smooth and very high quality smelling in the opening, The lemon note starts to fade and the fragrance gets even brighter once the florals come in. It then transitions into a citrusy, creamy and ambery dry down to complete it. It lives up to the "intense" title because 2 sprays filled up the entire room and projected off of my skin pretty far for around 5 - 6 hours but the scent itself easily lasted 6 - 8 on my skin, so I don't think this one would need a lot of sprays. That being said this is extremely linear with the citruses all the way through, so if that's not your thing I'd pass on this one. 8.5/10

If someone were looking for an Imagination clone and they hate Dua, I would recommend this or the non-intense version. I also have Amber Oud Aqua Dubai (or whatever it's called) and this is a bit more robust and less sweet. You get a few more dark fruits at the start, which is pleasant. It's winter in my neck of the woods, but I've been using this the last couple days and it's been a strong performer when inside. Unrelated - Also, I've usually avoided Zara in the past because it's hard to latch onto a house that cycles dozens of frags per year, but the online ordering experience was phenomenal. I ordered on a Wednesday or Thursday the week before a majority holiday, they estimated the delivery date to be Monday of following week, and it ends up arriving a few days later on Saturday. That never happens and maybe it was a fluke. Akso, the packaging was decent; paper padding vs bubble wrap, overall modest, but higher-quality product box, good stuff all around. I would recommend checking out their website if you're in the market.

Clone Time – for LV Imagination ~80% Yes, it’s crisp. Yes, it’s fresh. Yes, it’s citrusy. And yes—it’s elegant. Sunrise on the Red Sand Dunes surprised me. I was expecting something louder, more daring, maybe even a bit synthetic. Instead, I got a fragrance that’s refined, clean, and quietly confident. It leans into the DNA of Louis Vuitton’s Imagination with a respectable ~80% resemblance, especially in the opening citrus burst and airy freshness. It’s not a powerhouse, though. Projection and longevity are modest and on my skin, it stays within arm’s reach and fades after about 4–6 hours. But for daytime wear, especially in warmer weather or executive settings, it’s a solid choice. It doesn’t scream for attention, but it leaves a polished impression. Would I recommend it? Absolutely. You don’t go wrong with this one. Just manage your expectations and this isn’t a beast mode scent. It’s a Zara interpretation: accessible, stylish, and wearable. Performance: 4–6 hours Sillage: Arm’s length For Whom: Masculine, 30+

Zara shouldn't have any business creating something this good. Especially for the price. I picked up a 100 ml bottle for around 22 euros and it wasn't even discounted, nowadays that is sub-clone price. It's beautifuly citrusy, slightly creamy, and it lasts. My skin literrally eats up fragrances and even then I got 7+ hours from it. I wouldn't call it beastly, but for a citrus fragrance... just wow. I can't even fault it for smelling synthetic, and looking up the ingredients, this has plenty of natural oils inside. With that said, it's not overly complex. It starts out as gingery-citrus, dries down to gingery-citrus, and disappears as gingery-citrus. It is a summer-spring banger, but with the creamy undertone I think it can be pulled off as an all-season scent. I am confident that this is Zara's best to date, and if you are in any way interested in citrus fragrances you should give it a smell. And hey, if you like it, with Zara's love of scrapping their stuff, probably grab 2.

I've been trying fragrances at Zara for about 7 years now. I'm telling you. Listen. No, come closer. Okay too close. Okay. That's good stay there. Ready? Okay, here we go. This is Zara's greatest fragrance. They have never ever produced something as pleasant as this. I like Zara but I would have never expected anything like this at all. The regular EDP works fine as well but this performs so much better. Price can't be beat either. Tart, bright citrus in the opening with some spice and mild, soft florals through the base to take you through your day. I don't find this to be linear in any sort of way. Quite the opposite to me. This fragrance is a journey through my shift at work. On that note, very inoffensive and office-safe. Everybody's gonna like this one on you. If you need something for warmer weather, go with this. I just love this so much. I've finally fallen in love with a Zara fragrance. If they reformulate or discontinue this, I don't even know what I'll do.

I didn't care that much for the OG. But this intense version is absolutely great and I immediately purchased a package with an extra 20 ml travel sprayer for the unbelievable price of 25 Euros. The fruity opening is very pleasant with orange, grapefruit and other fruity notes. There is an intriguing blend of synthetics with real citrus oils in a very pleasant way. There is a fruity creamy lotion smell in the dry down that has a shower gel kinda texture in the nose. The effect is very refreshing and it projects rather good. The base is musky and sexy. It gives me a sunny sea vibe. This one is great for after a beachy day just right out of the shower. Performance is stellar for a citrus. Edit 25-2-25. I purchased the original EDP. And they are very similar. The EDP opens fresher and is less thick, oily. But if you layer them, it's 200 ml very long lasting citrus perfection. And that for 23 Euro's each. Zara really did a good job with these ones.

This is the best Zara perfume I have ever tried together with Nobody Knows. It is so, so good. It smells like a less sweet version of a long gone Origins perfume called Spring Fever that I have been missing for years. The ginger here is perfect and not sour and merges perfectly with the mandarin and the amber. Realistic, but not pungent cassis and clean orange blosson. The amber comes out more after a few hours and I keep getting whiffs of all the notes. It’s fresh, yes, but not necessarily a hot weather scent since it reminds me of indoors spa sessions that steam up this type of smell when it’s chilly outside and you sit down in a hot tub. Delicious, very attractive fragrance and I ordered another 100ml right after getting this one. As always I am sure it will disappear after a few months. Well done, Zara. (I have not smelled the Lo V).

It's my second day wearing it, and I think this is one of the most versatile fragrances I've picked up for spring/summer in a while. It is light and citrusy enough to be worn during the day, yet has enough personality for the evening. Even though it feels a bit synthetic in the first few seconds, once it dries down, it leaves a fresh and vibrant scent on the skin. The biggest downside for me is its longevity (a common issue with these types of citrusy, summery perfumes). Its vibe reminds me so much of the Canary Islands nightlife. It perfectly balances that sun-baked warmth on the skin with a crisp, exhilarating breeze as the sun goes down. Fresh, thrilling, and effortlessly cool—it immediately puts you in a holiday state of mind. For now, Sunrise on the Red Sand Dunes is positioning itself as one of my summer must-haves.

I didn’t think much of this fragrance when I first sprayed it at the mall - it came across as a bright citrus that vaguely reminds you of Imagination. I continued with my errands for about an hour and was just about to leave when I decided to sniff my arm again. I don’t know what happened, but I instantly went back to the store and bought a full bottle. This isn’t a 1:1 Imagination clone - it’s clearly inspired by it, but different. The tea and fresh notes that IMO make Imagination lean unisex are removed here and replaced with amber and orange blossom. It feels like the original Sunrise on the Red Sand Dunes, but deeper and more masculine. Longevity is great too, I was still getting whiffs the next day after applying on skin

As someone who owns both this fragrance and Imagination, I really think this comes down to your own finances. The opening on both is extremely similar so as long as you're not comparing these 2 scents side by side you might struggle to tell if it's Zara or LV, however, after a couple hours I start preferring the scent of Imagination (and it performs better) compared to Sunrise. Since I work from home I often just reapply this fragrance after 3-4h but if I'm going outdoors then I'd much prefer spraying Imagination. If you can afford LV's imagination I really think you're getting a better product but for anyone who cannot afford that much you've definitely got an excellent alternative here.

I've tried quite a few Imagination clones, and this one is my favorite to date. I've had this for a while, and with time this continues to grow on me. Kobra to me is too musky, Aqua Dubai is too fruity, Marwa is probably my second favourite, its spicier than the rest, but I still find it very pleasant. This one is not the closest to the original, but it does it's own thing very well. Soapy clean fragrance with ginger. I still get a resemblance of tea from this, but the soapiness is more prominent. It last a long time, usually over 6 hours for me and projects really well. I got this for 23€ 100ml and I can safely say as long as this is available, I'll own a bottle.

I lately have been leaning more toward fresh and soapy fragrances so this I considerer it very good, very zesty and citrusy with an aquatic soapy smell in the drydown. I don't know how does it compare to the fragrance it's trying to imitate, but I love it, however the original I think to me smells slightly better, this is more balanced, sweetier and complex, but there is the other one to me that feels more casual and not overdone, like wearing a nice white shirt vs wearing the same white shirt but with a small logo, I think I would prefer the first one, still this might be best for most people. Performance is not bad either, I'm getting around 6-7 hours.

Bought this one around 1 year ago, at first I thought it was good, but after using it a while I felt it was a bit too sharp/unbalanced and a bit too sweet for my taste. I forgot it in my closet for a while, today my wife asked about my imagination inspired fragrances, I showed this one to her and wow. It really came together after maceration, no sharpness at all, crisp soapy high quality ginger, with just a touch of honey-like sweetness, super pleasant. Very impressed by what it became, crazy good for it's price, would highly recommend if you have the patience to let it develop. Leans a smidge masculine but a confident woman can pull this off easily.

This is fantastic, a wonderful fresh and slightly spicy citrus scent that dries down into a more sweet and floral ambery smell, so this scent is pleasant the whole way through. This isn’t heavy at all, I was at Zara and was smelling the men’s fragrances for fun even though I don’t typically enjoy strong masculine fragrances but I sprayed this and was very impressed and I’ve been more impressed since I’ve worn it. Longevity and projection are both good. I’ve gotten lots of compliments and only paid about 25 dollars for this as well so it was a great deal. Highly recommend especially if you are on a budget!

i'm not gonna gatekeep this – this is for zara's best scent yet. it lasts way longer than you'd expect, and the profile is genuinely impressive. it stands on its own but definitely has that soapy, luxurious vibe that LV imagination brings to mind. it's really well-rounded and honestly better than i thought it would be. for zara, it’s surprisingly not that synthetic, which is a huge plus. awesome fragrance overall. scent profile: 9/10 longevity: 7/10 value: 10/10 overall: 9/10 grab one before zara discontinues it like all of their best frags (if anyone has vibrant leather tobacco exlir pls hit me up 😭🙏)

This is really good guys, coming from an owner of imagination, Game of spades full house and the not intense form of this fragrance. I wouldn’t call this a dupe of imagination tho, it’s probably 75% there. But boyy is this good. I MUCH prefer this to the original (not intense version), although the OG is good it had a barber shop vibe to it, I never really liked. This.... For $40 is a damn steal. Orange blossom and Ginger are the main characters but is done is such smooth pleasing way, is soo good I would eat it if I could. Easy blind buy without a doubt.

Similar foundation as LV Imagination but not the same, the first two hours are pretty, beautiful dense mandarin smell which some may find nauseating in high heat. I dislike the dry down though, which starts after the 2 or 3rd hour in my case. It's like a completely different perfume, like a bland tea skin scent I personally do not enjoy. Okay price considering its around 30$ and I'm mostly using it because of the top notes, if you grab yourself a decant to reapply after the mandarin stops, it would be an even better choice IMO. 6 out of 10

The word “ intense” is quite real in this case, it’s a heavier, thicker version of the original which wears fresher and lighter, here even the oil high concentration is obvious and the scent leaves oily feels after spraying on skin. Anyway, if the original was not 100% similar to LV, this one is a total departure from being closer to LV Imagination, it’s more fruity and sweeter, especially in the opening, the far dry down get closer but still more sweet and thick and not as fresh and airy ss the OG nor LV. Great release anyhow.

I have tried RWA and Red Vanilla before, they both smell good, but I don't expect much for longevity, because they are EDT versions. I bought Sunrise on the red sand dunes EDP in February, the citrus fragrance is very clean, when you sweat, this will make the fragrance even more interesting. another good perfume from Zara. The longevity lasts 16+ hours on my skin, on clothes, the fragrance lasts for days. The projection is very good when there is help from the wind, although the sillage is so-so. I would give it a 9.5/10.

Sunrise on the Red Sand Dunes Intense EDP from Zara Smells fresh and clean.🧼 I blind-bought this and was pleasantly surprised by how neutral and non-overwhelming it is. It’s the kind of scent that feels effortlessly wearable for almost any occasion. Scent: 9/10 Sillage: Moderate Longevity: Impressive — I applied it at 8 PM yesterday, and it’s now 10 AM the next day and still clearly noticeable on my skin. Overall, a great pick if you like clean, long-lasting fragrances without too much intensity (Office friendly)

Wow 🤩 what a successful blind buy 🙌 I haven’t tried the original Imagination by LV but this one is good enough for me at a good price . I love this type of scent profile, gorgeously smooth and manly but this is totally unisex. The dry down is when the magic 🪄 happens. Great for spring, summer and early autumn. This is my top favorite from Zara, next is Vibrant Leather which is good but longevity is poor. I’ll come back for its performance and longevity but I want to overspray this one, pun intended 😉 ❤️ 10/10

Can we stop saying this is a clone of Imagination? This fragrance stands by itself. No need to compare against anything to denigrate the fragrance. This one has a good lasting power for those “Zara fragrances don’t last, only last 30 minutes, etc folks”. Guess what? If at this point in life, being sour is your satisfaction, go for it , but don’t come here whimpering. Fragrantica has a record of 98k fragrances. Don’t you think some may be similar? I am buying a backup bottle.

It's in the vein of Imagination but comparing them side by side, it's not really close other than the soapiness. This one smells really sweet and citrusy off the get go without much of the tea but I really do enjoy it and I think it's amazing for the price. It seriously lasts long though which is very surprising for a Zara fragrance. I wore it in the at around 8 AM and I could still smell it by night time at around 8 PM. The longevity is no joke.

Fresh, soapy, clean, beautiful perfume. Citrus note smells very natural. It reminded me of a Turkish cologne I had a couple of years ago (in a good way). The only major minus is performance and longevity. 7/10 P.S. After several months iwant to add that. The performance and projection is actually good for this parfume. My gym fragrance, I was approached several times and asked the name of parfume and complimented. Banger from Zara. 9/10

Try this on your skin before judging it, let it dry down. I was disappointed at first; the opening was NOT good, too orange foward, very harsh citrus and no soapiness at all. I sprayed nonetheless and after ~30 minutes it evolves into what I expected it to be, very clean, citrus soap, very pleasant and inoffensive. If you like the LV Imagination DNA, its a VERY safe blind buy and for the price (23€), you should have this on the shelf.

This reminds me of a really sweet mandarin. It is citrusy, but not sharp and sour like L'Eau d'Issey, TDH eau givree, DG light blue forever or something like that. More like orange or mandarin candy. It is very linear, but why should something so pleasant ever change? The longevity is great and the sillage is great too. Great release from Zara! Fragrances like this one make you realize how the big designers are ripping people off.

Its a very nice scent, when you factor the price it really is a great buy. It reminds me of iced tea with extra lemons in it. The performance is great, even though the note breakdown is for summer the performance might make it hard to wear on the hot days, but spring and even warmer winter days this is very nice. I have LV imagination decant coming in so I will do a comparison but as its own scent it nice and fun to wear.

This is a for life fragrance. It's so cheap but it smells fantastic especially in the dry down. I don't think it smells close to Imagination but it does what Imagination does and you could call it its cousin. It's much less of the tea but more of the citrus and soapy floral DNA. The opening can be a bit strong and dense but after 5 minutes it mellows into a luxury hand soap scent bubble that lasts for at least 6 hours.

I bought a bottle and used it 2 times until its sprayer gone bad. It had pretty nice longevity and sillage. Right after the sprayer failed, I changed it from a different store that I bought and apparently new bottle has literally 30 minutes of sillage and longevity which makes me mad. Nice juice yet terrible longevity and sillage, I believe this differs between batches so when you are up to buy it, keep that in mind.

Fantastic scent, citrusy and clean. More soapy than the original release from Zara and not as harsh in the opening. Works for any occasion and all seasons. Can also be layered with 1-2 sprays of pretty much anything else. The original lasted 1-2 hours on my skin, this one lasts 3-4 hours and a lot more on clothes. Paid $30 for this and it's worth every penny. Best value I've got out of a perfume in a very long time.

I came to Zara to buy Sand Desert and I thought why shoould I have again some similar DNA based fragrance as Angel Share... And I bought this suprise- on my skin it last 7,8 hours which is long for Zaras fragrances, orange blossom is dominant at first then it goes to some blackcurrant, citrusy mix when it dries. Pleasent suprise really. Edit: its one year after buying this frag and it became my after shower regular.

First review I think this fragrance deserves it. Never tried Imagination so I won't even be comparing it but I would be lying if I said that wasn't the reason I decided to try this one. And I was so surprised how such a cheap fragance smells this good. Perfect summer fragance with some decent performance definitely blind buy worthy. The oppening is in fact not the best a bit harsh imo just give it some time.

Performance is solid, great for all occasions. Although it is a nice fragrance, I feel like the ginger in it gives me a headache if I keep smelling it. Try it before-hand, see if you like the ginger note or if it's too strong for you. EDIT: I feel like the ginger note grew on me. I still think this fragrance smells a lot better after like 1-2 hours, it becomes a 10/10 citrus fragrance.

I bouht this one literally the day it appeared in Spain. I love it. I also loved the original one. Safe buy for those who like citrus fragrances. The only "issue" i have with this one is that i can't tell the diference between this intense version and the original. Compared them the day i bought it, and now two months later. They are identical to me.

Mostly a very linear scent from the beginning to the end. After the initial blast of citrus, organe blossom and black currant dominate this fragrance strongly. My girlfriend commented that I smell like a chapstick, so I believe it’s very unisex or leans slightly feminine. But still a pleasant and inoffensive smell though with some good performance.

Perfume in Zara on September 2025 Strong spicy citrus opening, quite surprising coming from a Zara perfume: good opening! The bergamot and the mandarin are very good and strong, and remember me many fragrances tried this summer. Notes: Bergamot Integrale Mandarin Yellow Lemon Ginger Cassis Mahonial Fir Balsam Incense Heart Tonka Bean Musk Cistus

Yes, Sunrise On The Red Sand Dunes & Les Heures Passent (both from Zara) smell identical. Both are very similar to LV’s Imagination, maybe a 75-80% likeness. I used to love Sunrise & LHP both equally, that is until Zara came up with Sunrise Intense, making a great fragrance even better!! This ‘Intense’ version is closer to LV’s Imagination.

I have not smelled imagination but this is great! Lasts incredibly well, especially for a spring/summer fragrance. Some warm citrus and soapiness, without any annoying synthetic notes. Might get a backup bottle because it's just so good. I've had a lot of ZARA male fragrances and this is the best of the best together with exclusive oud.

Its been years since I've gotten complimented on my fragrance from somebody other than my wife, and it happened multiple times already with this one. Super easy to wear, overspray if you'd like or not, doesn't matter it's still noticeable. Doesn't project for very long but stays a skin scent for quite some time, maybe even 10-12 hours.

Аромат идеальной чистоты, а именно такого полосатенького турецкого мыла из детства, в упаковке по 4 шт. которое. Очень комплиментарная штучка. Если облачиться во всё белое и чистое, а сверху накинуть Sunrise Intense, то у окружающих может возникнуть ощущение, что надетая на вас одежда выстирана в дорогой прачечной ...вместе с хозяином.

A phenomenal triumph by Zara. Sweet opening that settles down to an intimate and fresh fragrance, that is fruity yet masculine. Girls absolutely love it and for the price it performa really well, an easy 7-8 hours with decent sillage, not quite a bomb but certainly hangs around. A sexy fragrance and zara’s best in recent memory.

Unless we got a different version here in Australia, when I first spray mine, I get a nice but generic fruit salad aroma. Give it 10 or 15 minutes and some of the sweetness fades, giving way to a rather delightful 'sexy-sour-spicy-fruit salad'. I really like this Zara creation ...a lot!!!
