Thunder Feel

Zara's Coranol edition 2 but with a smart dress Undoubtedly, Thunder Feel is a spicy woody fragrance, which unfortunately has EDT strength and not EDP as advertised, although it may have the correct concentration. There is also a fresh flowers accord, resulting from the synthetic Coranol, that may some people consider the fragrance to be floral woody. Speaking of olfactory notes and not of ingredients, I get : - resinous/very sweet/fresh spices frame, a fresh flowers accord, and a bit of smoked vetiver in the opening; - resinous/sweet/fresh spices frame on a cedar wood frame, with some rosewood, amber and smoked vetiver, as well a little coriander in the heart; - resinous/sweet frame, with a lot of cedar wood and a bit of amber in the bottom and drydown. The perfume has an average longevity of 6 hours with 3 sprays, a sillage of 4 feet and 1 hour projection. It has as a strong vibe of Scent Story's 24 Gold (minus the oud note), and a weak vibe of Tom Ford's Velvet Orchid EDT. It is very similar to Zara's own black Coranol box, but less synthetic and more pleasant. I consider this fragrance to be very nice, considering the atractive list price for an EDP of €22,50. The presentation is a major step forward if compared with the molecules series black box, and even with the vast majority of the Zara flasks. Let's rate this Zara high end fragrance: __________________________________________________________ Scent opening: 8.0 (resinous, sweet, fresh) Scent Dry Down: 9.0 (woody and pleasant) Longevity (h): 6.5 (Up to 6 hours with 3 sprays) Sillage (ft): 6.5 (up to 4 ft sillage and 1 h projection with 3 sprays) Versatility: 7.0 (slightly above average but not really for hot days) Usability: 8.0 (quite usable, except parties, clubbing, hot indoors & outdoors) Compliments: 7.0 (Attracts timid compliments) Uniqueness: 7.5 (Zara C0R4N0L similar; remembers other fragrances as well) Quality: 8.0 (high end for Zara; above average) Presentation: 8.5 (a matter of opinion) Price: 9.0 (€22.5 / 120 ml) __________________________________________________________ - Average:.........7,72/10.0 between 7 and 8 => above average; between 8 and 9 => recommended; equal or bigger than 9 => don't miss it; Opinion on Thunder Feel: Good Winter and Fall scent and providing an average satisfaction, although not very original. Value for money is above average meaning that Zara high end is still a price under the market average for a designer fragrance. Recommended? Yes due to its looks, and value for money. Very good perfume for the office and daily wear. Blind buy worthy? It's a "please everybody" perfume and still inexpensive. I recommend this fragrance. Music: Dolly Parton - "9 To 5" Keep smelling fine!

Thunder Feel has a very strong Coranol note, besides cardamom and cedar. I wonder why people keep on telling that this scent is related to the prevous C4shmer4n fragrance from Zara. Of course that is similar to the previous Cor4nol Zara fragrance that also has the notes of cardamom and cedar besides Coranol. I own the 3 fragrances! Thunder Feel and Cor4nol are really similar while C4shmeran has a different scent. Is it Olfactory inertia? Maybe it's a matter of giving opinions without smelling the fragrances... But it's so easy to read the notes. The Coranol note smells like Coranol and the Cashmeran note smell like Cashmeran, and two plus two is equal to four. By the way, Cedar smells like Cedar and Cardamom smells like Cardamom. Please excuse me my sarcasm.

I often check out Zara's men's fragrances because most of the feminine offerings are too sweet for my liking. This scent is sweet, but not sickly, thanks to the woods and cardamom. It becomes quite powdery and feminine on me which is why I like it. Silage is decent, I get an hour with a really interesting "play dough" vibe that fades on the dry-down. Longevity is good—about 5 to 6 hours. Sure, it doesn't smell high-end or unique, but it is very pleasant, and for 22 euros, it's a steal.

I've got a 2019 bottle. It smells nice, unique in Zara terms, but performs like water. 20-30 sprays (without exaggeration) gives me maybe 2-3h of longevity with zero projection/sillage.

Read somewhere this is the same as c0ran0l (the black square bottle). A little cheaper: c0ran0l 50ml for 13 euro, this 120 ml for 26 euro. Same bottle design as the Vibrant Leather. Do not know if it is reformulated in this edition.
