Zara W/END till 3:00 AM

As soon as I sprayed this fragrance on me immediately I made a memory of a very similar and identificable new relative in this family. It took me a couple of days until my subconscious mind kicked in and got me the answer...It smells just like Bvlgari Aqva Atlantique, very similar in fact. The more I alternate them, the more similar they seem to me. I don't know if this is product of the warm weather here in South Florida or they are actually clones. The main difference is that Zara W/END till 3:00 AM perform far better than Bvlgari Aqva Atlantique, you get more hours and more compliments with Zara W/END till 3:00 AM. There is a balanced combination of fruits and florals. It is the type of fragrance that work perfect in Countries like Brasil and also Tropical smells fans (Hispanic Culture). They both smell pretty good to my taste but I live in a permanent Summer-Spring weather in Miami Beach and love this type of fragrances. Dylan Blue is also a member of this family but takes the first place in regards to long lasting performance and sillage. But ZARA W/END till 3:00 AM is a very good option if you want a nice, freshy-Tropical smelling fragrance without spending a fortune. I actually went back to the ZARA Store and purchased a second bottle because I know it will be gone pretty soon and probably won't come back. I do recommend this fragrance if you enjoy the BVLGARI AQVA line of products. P.S. Very Under rated my overall grading: 7.5 / 10

As scorching summer heat arrived, I've been wearing this one more and more. And honestly, this is best than most summer frags people are talking about. This is pineapple from start to finish with a bit of a woodsy dry down. It is fresh, a bit sweet but not overly. It is so smooth, balsamic like a gentle pineapple cream. If you ever tried YSL Lhomme, it has that easy going sweet fresh blend. Just the right amount for summer that stays fresh and not cloying. Not the same smell as Lhomme but you know, that smooth gentle feeling. not too sweet, not too sharp, not aggressive or cloying... like sleeping on a hot summer night covered with fine silk that smells of fruit. That is the best description I can think of. Amazing longevity in the summer heat. 8 hours easily with 2.5 of good projection. Period!! One of the best that Zara has to offer. I don't care if this is close to Aventus or some other... it stands superb on it's own and smells divine!!

An absolutely perfect summer fragrance. I tend to stay away from fragrances with pineapple notes as they tend to be too sweet for my nose, but Zara W/END has just the right balance. The open is a lovely pineapple, which sustains through the drydown, with a hint of bergamot and lavender. The cedar comes through in the drydown, and that pineapple-woodsy mix is absolutely divine. I don't think this is anywhere close to Aventus, it's not as fruity or musky. This is much closer to Bond No. 9 the Scent of Peace for Him, minus the vetiver and juniper (and at a 10th of the price!). Don't be fooled by the similarities, however. This is not a clone, and stands very well on it's own. Longevity is average, I get around 4 hours on my skin with moderate sillage. Definitely a great purchase if you can find it, I paid around USD 20 for 100 ml and it's worth much more than that!

I wore this the other night and got a continuous compliment from someone who "just couldn't believe how good it smelled". He was equally as shocked when I told him who it was by and how much it cost. This fragrance is heavy pineapple and not much else, except maybe some woods in the dry down. I don't get lavender or violet leaf at all, and I am not sure I'd want to. This may be due to the batch I have being from January 2018. Things might have changed up a bit, since the bottle I have is solid dark blue, and not white as depicted in the photos. The appeal of this fragrance lies in the quality of its simplicity. Update: 7/2023 - Received another random compliment from someone who couldn't believe this fragrance didn't cost more than it does, and that it was from Zara. 9/10

Nice fresh pineapple lavender fragrance that lasts for 10 hours and projects for 3 if you put a bit more. It survived a 10 hours of sleeping and washing hands after. A skin scent by that time but very noticeable. On clothes it lasts for a day. Reminds me of Aventus because of that pineapple, but it's more of Bond Scent of Peace for Him. For a price and an every day casual wear... definitely worth it. It starts as a very fresh pineapple and I get a bit of gentle cedar in the dry down, but overall straight up pineapple from start to finish and a very very good one, not synthetic at all nor does it change from a beautiful opening to a strange dry down like most Zara frags do.
