    Did you throw this perfume away? What a major fail from Zara!

  2. If you have to choose between this and Sand Dessert, go with the latter. Sand is more potent, sweeter, and lasts longer. The cinnamon dry-down is more noticeable, but the scents are about 90% identical.

    Wow, it smells a lot like Angel’s Share. I tried it while traveling and loved it, but I didn’t buy the original due to the price. I managed to grab this Zara dupe, and it smells similar, just less potent, like an EDT version of the original. I absolutely love it; I discovered I’m a cinnamon fan. It’s soft and lasts about 4 hours.

    It’s identical to Sand Desert at Sunset from the men’s section, just in a different bottle. The atomizer is worse; it’s not a mist nozzle like the other one. How long does it last? Same as the previous one… it just didn’t work for me.
