Zara Night Pour Homme III

Oooh this is good! This one was an unexpected surprise and blind buy based on reviews and comparisons. Nice atomizer, decent thick bottle. It opens with a strong iris note that shares a striking resemblance to the iris note used in the classic Dior Homme line, as it dries down it transitions into a rather striking facsimile of the sadly discontinued YSL l'Homme Parfum Intense (aka l'Homme L'Intense), which is a cold weather favorite of mine. I have been nursing the juice remaining in my last two bottles of l'Homme PI, but I feel free to spray away with Zara NPH3 as it's so cheap! Quality is very good, it does not smell off-putting or overly synthetic to my nose (at least not more so than the YSL original). It wears very similarly to Parfum Intense, all of the same use cases, although. I can't comment on longevity quite yet.I will get a few more wears in before I update this review, but I am very impressed so far Update: performance is good enough for the price (~$20), I get around 6-7 hours out of it, much longer on clothing. It is very similar to l'Homme PI with added iris. The iris does actually stay around longer than I had first thought and you can detect traces of it even after this becomes a skin scent, giving it a slightly soapy vibe in the late dry down. The iris works with the l'Homme Intense DNA so I'm not mad about it and it prevents it from being a pure copy, unlike some other Zara frags I've owned. I would describe this as a fusion of Dior Homme Intense and YSL l'Homme Parfum Intense with performance that can't quite match either. This is 100% a unisex scent, just like l'Homme Intense. I would say it's almost like a more masculine analog of YSL Libre Intense. All in all, I am very pleasantly surprised, this one will and it will likely be in heavy rotation this Fall and Winter. I may layer it with a spritz or two of YSL l'Homme Intense. 84/100

@rquill67, you couldn't have synthesized my exact thoughts any better. I get exactly what rquill67 (review below) detailed in his review. I have always loved amber/cardamom/resinous fragrances, with that "fizzy" pop/cola type of feel. That is also what i get with this one. The one major difference to my nose compared to others such as Code Profumo is that where CP is sweeter and darker, this is a bit on the fresher spicy side of things. Lastly, I want to mention that in the first 5-10 minutes of the opening, this one smells super, SUPER synthetic, almost like this sweet(ish), spicy, and ambery chemical goup, it really does not smell good in the initial opening. But, give this one 10-15 minutes to settle down and almost all of that harsh chemical note fades away into the background. Even after going on about chemically smell blah blah etc etc, this is an all time favorite cheapy. I LOVE the DNA here (and in other similar fragrances). If you like code profumo, but want a fresher and slightly less sweet take on a similar DNA, then I think this would be a fairly safe buy. Just know that for such a low price (and especially coming from Zara), the performance is not going to be great and the overall quality of the juice is going to be lightyears away from other well known/high end designer houses (Code Profumo, L'Homme Intense, etc.)

The notes here are wrong and I love that everyone is describing the fragrance base on the notes, this is an Iris scent and that's why most people call it a "Dior Homme" style, for me it's a fresher DHP. I Know, before you get upset this is an obviously $20 fragrance so it doesn't smell like a $100 Dior, still I think it's amazing. Here's the Note breakdown and description according to Zara's website Bergamot, Pear, Iris Olive, Cilantro, Pepper Sandalwood, Cashmere, Leather, Vetivers NIGHT POUR HOMME III a woody fragrance that reveals an elegant and fresh character with an iridescent floral burst. Fragrance pyramid reveals fruity notes of bergamot and pear wrapped in iris, fragrant olive, cilantro, and pepper. At the base we find woody notes of sandalwood and cashmere accompanied by notes of leather and vetiver. A unique, seductive, and irresistible scent.

One of the best Zara fragrances of all time. Sexy, sweet, attractive smelling, love it! This beauty smells much more expensive than it actually is. In The Netherlands this fragrance costs € 12,95 ($ 14.8) which makes it a true bargain. It's not a clone, but it smells a lot like D&G Pour Homme (intenso) with a touch of Dior Homme (because of the Iris note). But keep in mind that this one is much sweeter. Go out and check 'em! Performance: slightly below average, but not bad at all for a Zara fragrance.

The note breakdown is not correct! Others comment the corrented one. For me it is more like Givenchy Gentleman EDT (2017). The pear, iris, leather/cashmere gives me the same vibe as the Gentleman EDT, but this has a little bit of sweetnes in the drydown what I like. The note breakdown is the same as the Extreme 6.0 and a bottle is different as well what you can see in the site. I am bought it recently, so I think I have the after 2021 released bottled one.
