I was pleasantly surprised by Zara D Collection, a clone of YSL L’Homme that I loved, so I decided to try its sibling, Zara A Collection. The three fragrances spell out D-A-Y, and this last one is a clone of Chanel Allure Homme Sport, one of my favorites. At first sniff, it’s very similar, very pleasant, and for the price, it doesn’t feel as synthetic. I bought it and, upon using it for the first time, I’ll try to describe what I perceived. In the opening, the two are extremely similar, but as they dry down, I notice slight differences: AHS is creamier due to its vanilla base, while Zara A’s sweetness comes from peach, a note I can distinguish in almost everything I wear. AHS feels higher quality for obvious reasons, but Zara A lacks that synthetic dry-down scent that AHS has. AHS lasts 4 to 6 hours, while Zara A lasts 3 to 5, which means it can be reapplied without issue given the price. It’s still too early to fully judge Zara A Collection, but it’s the closest clone I’ve smelled to AHS (Versace Pour Homme is totally different for me), so for the price, it’s worth a try. Maybe I’ll write another review later after giving it more wear.
