I can’t find any connection to Dolce&Gabbana’s The One. In February 2026, they changed the design and reduced the size to 90ml, but I absolutely love it because they removed that harsh synthetic and alcoholic opening. It’s perfect for night: it has a rich yet very soft musky touch that smells like a younger version of 212 Sexy Man.

It’s my favorite from Zara among thousands of options. At $25, it’s worth every penny. It’s musky but not overly rich, with woody and warm undertones. It smells like the dry-down of 212 Sexy Man but more woody-sweet, youthful, and neither flat nor old like the original. It features simple notes of bergamot, cardamom, and sandalwood. It’s versatile, though you really need to douse yourself to make it last. It smells incredibly skin-close, sexy for dates, and very intimate. It doesn’t resemble Armani Code at all. I mix it with Montblanc Starwalker to help it last longer; I’ve already asked 16 girls what I’m wearing, and they love it.

I have the 2022 version and I love it. It’s totally unisex; I wear many defined men’s perfumes, but if I like it, I like it. The sandalwood and cardamom are perfectly balanced for use any time of year. The bergamot is only noticeable at the start. This perfume brings me peace and serenity; sometimes I even wear it to sleep because it relaxes me so much.

This perfume, paired with For Him Red (Baccarat Rouge), is a game-changer. I dare say it’s the best one from Zara; it fits both formal events and casual outings, day or night.

It has nothing to do with Armani Code. It does share sweet, musky, and woody citrus notes, but I emphasize: Code is on a completely different track. If you’re looking for a cheap clone, this isn’t it. That said, it’s exquisite and women love it. Just be aware it’s an EDT, not a beast; it lasts a couple of hours and stays very skin-close.

I bought it blind without knowing anything about it, and it has become my favorite fragrance in my collection. It’s highly addictive; I never get tired of smelling it, and I adore that powder makeup note. What I miss is more potency; it feels very contained, like a personal bubble.

It’s okay, but I don’t think it’s worth the price. Zara has better options when it comes to sweet fragrances for night.

From the For Him line, this and the Red Edition are the top picks, but this one suits me better with that mature and elegant touch. It’s not an exact copy of anything, though it reminded me of Prada L’Homme with a twist of hazelnut or walnut notes instead of iris and pepper; both smell powdery, but this is less sweet and more creamy. In the dry-down, I even liked it more: I detected a freshly ironed shirt note, super clean, something that sometimes makes Prada L’Homme uncomfortable for me due to its sweet, lactonic vibe. Since Prada L’Homme is one of my favorites, this is a solid option, even if you already own it.

By mistake, I received this version of FOR HIM, and I loved it. I was surprised by the quality and how the notes unfold; it’s clear Zara is committed to improving. I adored the blend of sandalwood, bergamot, and cardamom. It’s warm, sweet, and creamy without being cloying. It feels like a cuddle or a hug. The trail is light and non-invasive, feeling seductive. I think it projects better in cooler places, around 27°C. We’ll see how it holds up in summer. The longevity is quite good; even the next day, it still held some scent.

I accidentally received this FOR HIM version and I loved it! I was surprised by the quality of the scent and how the notes develop; it’s clear Zara is committed to improving their products. I loved the combination of sandalwood, bergamot, and cardamom. It’s a warm, sweet, and creamy fragrance without being cloying. It feels like a cuddle or a hug. The trail is light, non-invasive, and seductive. I think it projects better in cool places around 27 degrees; I’ll see how it behaves in summer. Its longevity is quite good; even the next day, it still held a scent.

This is one of my favorite lines from Zara for men, and within it, probably my absolute favorite. It’s a warm, spicy fragrance with a citrus opening but becomes denser and creamier in the base. In my opinion, it’s incredibly versatile but also extremely sexy. That’s why I wear it daily but also see it as ideal for a date or a night out. It has good skin fixation, lasting about 6-8 hours on hard skin with moderate projection and trail. It does fall in the Armani Code line, especially the now-discontinued Profumo version, but they don’t seem like clones to me. Still, I like it more than most current designer perfumes. The quality-to-price ratio is excellent. I recommend it.

This perfume is a delight. Every time I go to Zara, I try it out; it’s totally unisex. I don’t know why I still haven’t bought it, haha, maybe because I enjoy the feeling that it’s already mine. It has undeclared vanilla and maybe tonka bean; it’s super creamy and delicious.

Reminds me of Carolina Herrera’s 212 Sexy Men: that spicy, fresh, and vanilla blend. But I have one drawback that stopped me from buying it: the sweetness. While I like sweet fragrances, this smells off to me, like cookies or cereal. Maybe it’s my skin, but it turns me off. If it doesn’t bother you, it’s an interesting and solid fragrance.

This perfume is pure luxury. Every time I go to Zara, I try it out; it’s totally unisex. I don’t know why I still haven’t bought it, haha, maybe because I enjoy the feeling that I’m going to take it home. It has undeclared vanilla and maybe tonka bean; it’s creamy and very rich.

This fragrance is unisex. I tried it in-store and absolutely loved it. To me, it smells clean and relaxing.
