Zara Lisboa Colombo Avenida do Colegio Militar

One of my favorites from the cities collection. Reminds of Acqua di Gio, but I find this one to be more attractive and modern than Acqua. The drydown is also incredibly nice. It seems like the same smell from the opening, but settled and "calm". It becomes a skin scent within an hour, but then it remains pretty consistently after that, and you still do get some compliments because it really is that nice. It is indeed really elegant, and I'd recommend it for daily use, as I'm doing right now. It is a safey, but still sharp. Of course the citrusy notes are present, but the woody vibe remains throughout, and makes it stand out. This a fantastic fragrance by Zara. Packaging is gorgeous and if you pick up the standalone box, the photo on the cover is gorgeous as well. Zara really knows how to make the most of a cheap package. 8/10.

To all the noobs down here who said this is a dupe of AdG: you really have no clue, have ya'!!!!???? This is nothing like AdG, other than being a freshie with some lemony smell. This is much sweeter, has much less woods and if I was to point some frag for this to be a dupe of, I'd say it's more similar to Dior Homme Sport 2017 or to the infamous Dior Higher from the early 2000s than to AdG, but much sweeter (though not like really sweet like Invictus or the likes). Blind-buy safe if you like freshies to have around in your backpack/gym bag/car. Summer and daytime only, won't perform well enough on colder seasons, therefore it should not be reviewed in fall/winter/early spring months, otherwise you'll say it does not perform for more than 2-3 hours. Excellent value for money if you stay within those parameters.

This is indeed very similar to Acqua di Gio. I would say about 90%. The only difference is that the salty, egg note from ADG is not present here but the sweet citrus in the opening and the florals in the drydown are here and smell so pleasant. The performance is what you would expect in the 15 to 20 price range. about 30 minutes to an hour of projection and I cant smell it at all after about 3 hours. Honestly, not that much worse than the actual ADG. Definitely a great scent for the price point. I recommend.

While this is similar to Acqua di Gio, it's definitely not a clone and can stand on it's own. For starters, there's absolutely no marine accord here, this is mainly citrus and jasmine. The open is a burst of citrus and jasmine, that settle into a woodsy base. A simple fragrance, that's very well executed. Also, a very attractive price point (I paid under USD 20 for 100 ml). Longevity is average, I get 4 hours on my skin with moderate sillage.

This is just beautiful 10/10. Closest thing to a Time Machine,if you wanna go back to the 90's,because of the similarity to Acqua di Gio. Reminds me of what Acqua di Gio used to smell like before the reform .Seriously everyone should just buy this instead of the ADG. It is a clone, but it somehow manages to have the projection and longevity of vintage ADG, while maintaining the soft aquatic airy feel.
