Zara Norrland, launched in 2017 and now discontinued, is a gem that’s unfortunately hard to find. It smells delicious, with noble touches and very masculine elegance. It opens with a fresh citrus blend of grapefruit and orange, mixed with cedar and spices that gain strength as it dries down. It settles into those typical earthy, wet vetiver notes. Its resemblance to the legendary Terre d’Hermès is brutal. It lasts about 4 hours with strong projection in the first hour. I wear it everywhere, though it shines brightest in semi-formal or elegant settings.

I bought it blind on eBay, knowing it’s pricey since it’s discontinued. I tested it on my skin and wrist last night at 9 pm; by 8:30 am today, it’s still clinging to my skin. I definitely like it. Few Zara fragrances smell exactly like their listed notes. Here, the vetiver is eternal. At first, it blends with grapefruit and a hint of pepper. I liked it quite a bit. I bought it along with another, Zara Vetiver Unexpected, and I have to confess that in that one, the least noticeable thing is the vetiver. In fact, I don’t smell any of it. I hope that in a fragrance carrying that ingredient in its name, it stands out or at least identifies itself. I’ll head over to the Vetiver Unexpected profile to leave my opinion after testing it again on skin.
Definitely a great clone of Terre d’Hermès; it smells identical and has incredible sillage and longevity. I give it a 10.
Undoubtedly, it’s a great clone of Terre d’Hermès—it smells identical and has massive sillage and longevity. I give it a 10.
Great perfume for the price-to-quality ratio. The scent is a blend of citrus and woody notes, somewhat similar to Terre d’Hermès but a bit more intense. Perfect for everyday wear with more than acceptable longevity. The trail isn’t very wide, but few perfumes create that effect on my skin.
