What wearers say
āSmells nice, women like it, doesn't last long though - feels a bit overpriced considering you can dip into the Middle Eastern frags for a similar price, and they'll give you much better performance. I wouldn't repurchase this one, as I feel short changed with the longevity aspect.ā
āI love this perfume, I would definitely go back for another bottle. Without looking at the notes, I perceive a bit of smoky pineapple, amber is definitely present, and a touch of spice. I used it a lot during the summer (even though it's more for winter) and I can say that this fragrance always brings compliments from women. Regarding the sillage and longevity, I can say that this is bordering on beast mode without a doubt. It generates olfactory fatigue. You won't notice it, but I assure you that the people around you will notice it quite a bit.I don't recommend buying it blindly...ā
āThis fragrance really surprised me because I had no clue that Zara perfumes could hit so well. Iām used to their fragrances lasting 20 minutes but this one lasts atleast 5 hours on my skin! Recommend to use during a sunny day and I promise the compliments you get is crazy!ā
