    Out of the three Zara Cacao collection scents, I kept this one. It smells like hazelnut candy, absolutely delicious. I’ve read many comments comparing it to an Arabic perfume, but I can’t say since I haven’t tested it on my skin yet. What I will say is that I’ve never encountered this scent in another fragrance; I fell in love with it completely. Just be careful because it’s so sweet that it can become a bit heavy and wear out your nose after a while. I wouldn’t recommend it for very hot weather, although it’s not one that knocks you out within a 2 km radius even if you wear it in summer.

    Out of the three cocoa scents from Zara, I chose this one. It smells like a hazelnut truffle, absolutely delicious. I’ve read comparisons to Arabic perfumes but haven’t tried them to judge. What I can say is that I’ve never encountered this specific scent in another fragrance; I fell in love, but be careful because it’s so sweet it can get nose-tiring. I wouldn’t recommend it for heavy heat, though it’s not one that fades after two kilometers even if you wear it in summer.

    I just started wearing it and I absolutely love it. It was a blind buy and a success that didn’t disappoint. Although it’s called ‘Sunset’, I think it works much better for winter or autumn; I wouldn’t use it in summer, except at night. Now that it’s winter here, it suits me perfectly. I recommend it if you like honeyed, warm, and enveloping scents. By the way, being a 20-euro fragrance, the quality-to-price ratio is off the charts. A new beauty for my collection!

    It’s impressively similar to Lattafa’s Yara. I went to the store, tested it, and thought: smells delicious, enveloping, but it smells like a perfume I already own. Once it dried down, I realized it was that one. It smells very much like Yara but with a warmer touch; Yara smells like a good girl, this doesn’t, it smells like Yara but as if it were a sexier, warmer, more ‘bad girl’ version. It lasts a long time on my skin and I liked it a lot.

    It makes me doubt those who compare it to Yara Rose without having tried it. This has its own personality and is totally gourmand and chocolatey. To me, it’s like a summer scent with a super rich bronzer… I fall in love when I smell it. Out of the three in the line, this is the one I bought and I recommend owning it even if you have Yara. Draw your own conclusions and leave it to those who only know how to say ‘clone, clone, clone’.

    Just started wearing it and I absolutely love it; it was a blind buy and a total hit. Despite being called ‘Sunset’, I think it suits winter or autumn better—I wouldn’t wear it in summer except at night. Now that it’s cold here, it sits perfectly. I recommend it if you enjoy honeyed, warm, and enveloping scents. For 20 euros, the quality-to-price ratio is a 10. A new gem for my collection.

    I’ve been crossing paths with an auntie who smells incredibly good from afar and all day long. Today I asked her what she was wearing, and she told me it’s this one. I don’t know if she re-applies it or sprays the whole bottle, but it’s the most incredible fragrance I’ve smelled in months in terms of longevity and projection, plus it drives me crazy. I’m buying a bottle today.

    At first, it smells like watery Yara due to pure alcohol, but edit: after letting it dry for a while, it feels much better. In the end, it smells like Yara Rose. If you already own it, maybe it’s not worth buying.

  10. It’s definitely not Yara; there’s much more caramel here, and it smells exactly like its name suggests: sweet and ripe. The only downside is that it doesn’t last very long, but it’s perfect for everyday wear.

    It dries down well and delivers on its promise; in fact, it sticks to your clothes and reminds you of it all day. It wasn’t exactly what I expected, but I’m not disappointed, so it’s worth trying blind.

  12. Momori

    It has nothing to do with Yara; it’s much more caramelized, exactly like its name suggests. Sweet and mature, but watch out, it doesn’t last long. Ideal for daily wear.

    On my dry skin, it smells almost identical to Lattafa’s Yara, just with a slightly warmer touch.
