As mentioned, the opening is DH Intense, perhaps a bit lighter. But watch out: after an hour, the iris is gone, leaving a leather scent—maybe ‘dirty’? Nothing refined, with woody but testy accents. On my skin, it lasts about 7 hours close to the skin, but it projects nothing. For its price and aroma, I recommend it; I’ll leave performance expectations for this range aside. You can buy it blind if you like Dior-style iris and leather.
A fragrance somewhere between Dior Homme (original) and Valentino Uomo Intense, leaning more toward the latter. Lasts about 5-6 hours with a trail of 2-3 hours. After that, it stays close to the skin until around 8 hours.
As they say, if the opening reminds you of Valentino Uomo and Dior Homme Intense, on my skin it lasts 7-8 hours with a trail of 1-2 hours. An iris and leather scent with a bit of spice; I don’t notice the cereals. In the end, it settles into a praline scent with a light vanilla touch. For the price, it’s a marvel alongside Magnificent Black. I recommend it, yes. This new collection is worth it.
Good value for money. It’s inspired by Dior Homme and Valentino Uomo, taking a bit of each without being an obvious clone of either, which is logical since a renowned perfumer wouldn’t name a cheap clone after themselves. I agree with a previous review: the opening resembles Dior Homme 2011 (now DH Original), then it has a slightly sweet point that reminds me of Valentino Uomo Intense, though less cloying. For just over 20 euros, it’s not a bad option if you like these aromas. There are cheaper options like V&L Seduction Magnetic, but this definitely has better quality and more nuances.
When will it be available in Spain???
As others say, the opening reminds me of Valentino Uomo and Dior Homme Intense. On my skin it lasts 7-8 hours with a trail of 1-2. It smells of iris and leather with a spicy touch; I don’t detect the cereal notes. In the end, it settles into praline with a light vanilla. For the price, it’s a marvel alongside the Magnificent Black. I recommend it, yes. This collection is worth it.
I bought two online because of the hype that it’s a Dior Homme clone… but I went to the store before opening them to check longevity and projection… and yes, the opening is iris but only for 5 minutes… the projection is zero, it stays skin-scent after a few minutes. I’m going to return them.
On my skin, it projects iris that soon fades, leaving leather with chocolatey nuances (from the praline). Projection is very weak: I’m already skin-scent after 20 minutes. It lasts 5-6 hours but also at skin level. Despite being weak, the scent is good (I like it), you can feel quality ingredients, and the price isn’t bad (around 23 euros). I sense it’s unisex, especially at the start, and it would look excellent on a determined woman.
A fragrance with a great quality-to-price ratio that clearly draws inspiration from the Dior Homme and Valentino Uomo lines, taking bits of both without being an obvious clone of either, which makes sense because a renowned perfumer, while inspired, won’t slap their name on a cheap lab clone. I agree with a previous review stating the opening closely resembles Dior Homme 2011 (now DH Original), but then it gets a sweet spot that could remind you of something like Valentino Uomo Intense, though less cloying. For its price, just over 20 euros, it doesn’t seem like a bad option if you like this type of aroma. There are cheaper options like V&L’s Seduction Magnetic, but this definitely has better quality and more nuances.
It reminds me a lot of Prada L’homme. Good perfume; on my skin it lasts 3-4 hours at a good level. I personally think I might get tired of it, so I’ll use it occasionally. Good scent overall.
It’s already on the Zara website, @D_MDZ.
The opening is DH Intense, a bit lighter. But after an hour, goodbye to the iris; it settles into a leather scent—maybe ‘dirty’? Nothing refined, with woody but testy accents.

It reminded me a lot of Prada L’homme. Good scent, but the performance is very modest. Cheers.
Totally agree with yimbo83. The opening is identical to Dior Homme Intense, but the dry-down after 15 minutes is very similar to Valentino Uomo. It’s a shame the opening is phenomenal; I’ve been looking for something like Dior Homme Intense or Parfum for ages and still haven’t found it. The opening is great, but the dry-down has nothing to do with Dior Homme Intense. If anyone knows of a similar scent to Dior Homme Intense or Parfum, I’d appreciate the info. Thanks.
On my skin, it starts with an iris opening that fades quickly, giving way to leather with very slight chocolatey notes (I assume from the praline). Projection is very scarce: I’m close to the skin after 20 minutes. Lasts 5-6 hours, but, as I said, mostly close to the skin. Despite its performance, the scent is good (I like it), and you can feel quality ingredients, plus the price isn’t bad at all (around 23 euros). I find it quite unisex (especially at the beginning), and I think it would look excellent on a decisive woman.
Indeed, it reminds me of Dior Homme Iris. On my skin, it’s less invasive than the DH Parfum and slightly more vanilla-like. Reviews say it has poor longevity, but maybe it performs better in spring… a DH for spring; interesting.
I bought it blind and initially hated the smell. After a few minutes, with that soft, sweet leather, it smelled great. The first two hours are intense, then it fades like Zara perfumes. I’m looking for something for daily use in cold weather, and it delivers; it’s not flashy and is different from what I usually wear. I’m not sure if I’d buy it again—I don’t love it, but I’m satisfied with its performance. Better to test before buying.
I think it’s gorgeous, from the minimalist bottle to the scent profile. It opens with floral, green iris with a citrus touch—fresh and airy, almost masculine. Then comes the soft, sweet, powdery, and creamy leather. That’s when it becomes unisex, delicate, and deliciously warm. I’d wear it with a black outfit. I tested it on my skin at 10 PM and it was still detectable right up against my skin at 7 AM. It works well here in autumn.
I find it simply beautiful, from the minimalist bottle to the scent itself. It opens with a floral green iris, even slightly citrusy, but I think it comes from this fresh, airy style that can feel masculine. A few minutes later, soft, sweet, powdery, slightly creamy, and woody leather follows. It’s at this leather stage that the scent becomes unisex, delicate, elegant, and in my eyes, deliciously warm. Would I wear it? Absolutely, especially with a black outfit. I passed the night-long skin test; I sprayed it at 10:00 PM and could still smell it close to the skin at 7:00 AM. Here in Chile, it’s autumn, and it works well on my skin.
I didn’t like it. Although I was tired of powdery iris and I do detect the cereal notes, it leaves me with a sensation of having cornflakes stuck in my throat forever. A definite no for me.
Out of the three I bought from this line, this was the one I liked the most; you can definitely feel the leather and iris. On my skin, it projects well but lasts very little, but since I got them on discount, I guess they’re worth it. The atomizer is really the worst of the three.
The iris in this perfume doesn’t smell like makeup and is much less dense than you’d expect given the notes. Perfect for spring, rich and cozy, but it suffers from pretty poor performance.
Scent similar to Dior Homme Intense or Valentino Uomo Intense (for me, it leans more toward the latter). Citrus opening with a floral touch. Iris is the star, followed by leather. After the opening, the scent turns sweeter, perhaps due to praline or vanilla. It’s a soft sweetness that doesn’t cloy but adds creaminess to the iris. To my nose, zero cereal notes. Since it’s from Zara, longevity is reduced, around 4 to 5 hours. But like other Zara scents, the price-to-quality ratio encourages reapplication. A plus point: good projection, about one meter away. It’s suitable for nights out or intimate gatherings; you’ll get compliments. Still, it doesn’t clash as a daily signature scent.
Same story with Sunrise on the Red Sand Dunes: smooth cap that doesn’t fit well and a spray nozzle that’s too short and fine. I assume it’s due to new batches, but the applicator quality is really disappointing.
I recently bought it on sale and Zara sent a bottle with a smooth cap and a short spray nozzle, like a mini-mist. I’m not sure if it’s defective or just that bad, honestly. Has anyone else experienced this?
A very decent perfume, though it doesn’t quite reach the quality of Dior Homme Intense, which is its closest match. Still, for the price, it’s excellent.
When I first tested it, my initial thought was ‘it smells like air freshener,’ but seconds later the scent shifts and becomes sweet and pleasant; it’s one of my favorite perfumes.
Another well-executed Dior Homme Parfum clone, with acceptable longevity and, most importantly, an unbeatable price. I think this is the fourth clone of that fragrance in my collection, on top of already owning the original.
Scent: Spectacular! Performance: Hits the mark on longevity and projection (6 hours and 1 hour respectively). As for versatility… I wouldn’t wear it on very hot days or nights. Definitely worth it for the price if you like iris. Rating: 8.3/10
Smelling it reminded me of the classic Dior Homme from before 2020, but after buying it, I realized they have nothing in common; this smells much more green. The longevity and projection are terrible—it doesn’t last a minute, leaves no trail, and the dry-down is of very poor quality. 2/10
Smelled it and immediately thought of the classic Dior Homme from before 2020, but after buying it, I realized they have nothing in common; this smells way more green. Performance and projection are a disaster—it doesn’t last even a minute, leaves no trail, and the dry-down is terrible. 2/10
