Y Collection

They had Zara Y Collection for sale at the cashiers, as it seems they're getting rid of the stock. I gave it a try while I was paying my order, hoping that if I liked it enough, I'd add it. The opening didn't impressed me at all, so I finished my order, and moved on. Then I checked the scent on my wrist again while driving on my way back home and... oh my God. It smells AMAZING. The dry down is so much better than the opening. The only con I found is that it doesn't seem to last much (5 hours or so) I really hope they still have it on stock next time I go to that store. If you're lucky enough to find a bottle of Y collection, just grab it. It costs less than 10 bucks and smells like 100. Cheers!

I gave this another try. And the third try. And nope. Don't like it. I loooove the opening, spot on La Nuit but after a short while it does retain that vibe with a bitter note which I simply don't like. Not even for the price. Lasts poorly, maybe an hour longer then the current version of La Nuit but it misses that magic La Nuit had for me. Same thing with other frags from DAY collection. I went with For him Black Edition and the new version of Black Tag Intense. They smell of vanilla and cardamom and much better that Y. Both last longer. I really really wanted to get Y, and was set on getting 3-4 bottles. Held them and I said... nah. So I went with black tag intense and for him black edition.

Having 2 bottles of La Nuit (2015 formulation) and 2 bottles of Ferragamo F Black, I decided to buy only 1 bottle of Zara Y today at the mall. I do regret it now because the Y juice is BETTER than the current La Nuit formulation. ..... Well I just bought on line a couple bottles morejust now in the Zara site . I don't know prices in other countries but I bought them for € 9.99 each 100 ml bottle. Currently I have 2 bottles of F Black and 3 bottles of Zara Y that I'll save for special occasions. I will use the YSL La Nuit in common occasions. 2 years ago I would not imagine I would write this text today. @ SimplyRavishing1 - Congratulations for your great review

Opening is a spot on La Nuit de L'Homme. But as it+s drying down, it brings in one note which is very bitter. This frag in the opening smells like 95% la nuit but as it dries down, it differs. There is still that la nuit smell, just with a very prominent bitter note which I don't like. Tried it on skin and the same. Wanted to get few bottles but I changed my mind. It is very very close but it lack that smoothness La Nuit has although the smell itself is very very similar. Not bad but for me... I will search a bit more.If it only didn't have that bitter note in the middle and dry down, it would have been a perfect replacement.

After a few times wearing it I think that this fragrance is as close to La nuit as 9.0 to DH! The performances are not bad either, 6-8h with moderate projection. Zara have a few other fragrances with the "La Nuit vibe" like For Him Black Edition, Winter Collection 2017, Black Tag Intense 2017, some people say Evitorial Twist(I personally don't agree here) but Y Collection is a shameless clone, despite the notes, just ignore that. Awesome value! Best alternative on the market, ~95% of the smell, ~12% of the price.
