Smells like L’Homme Ideal EDP. It’s a pleasant woody scent and the right choice for going out if you’re looking for something cheap.

If you’re looking to replace the 9.0, choose CLASSIC, not Extreme. This one has a barbershop opening, lavender foam, and a sharp synthetic note. It lacks iris, so it has nothing to do with the 9.0. Lasting power is acceptable and the dry-down is decent, but buying it just for that doesn’t make much sense.

I grabbed it because the original 9.0 wasn’t available, so I used that instead. The Extreme is different: more floral, sharp, and intense. It resembles L’Homme Ideal at first, but once it dries down, it smells very much like Valentino Uomo (in terms of price-to-quality, it’s worth more). It’s far from Dior Homme. Lasts well, with a trail of 1-2 meters for the first 3 hours; sharp and seductive, then it stays closer, becoming warmer and sweeter. Great for cold days, winter nights, or autumn.

Acceptable. Looking for an alternative to Dior Homme, I found this Zara 9.0 Extreme since the original is discontinued. It’s a heavy cologne that lasts and projects a lot. The scent doesn’t convince me: good sharp floral opening, then pleasant woody notes, but soon only a heavy synthetic iris remains that gets tiring. It’s masculine but could work for unisex. I’ve gotten compliments, it smells good, but it’s not for me.
