It’s a very good fragrance for the price, with notes that feel natural and high-quality. At first, it smells like alcohol and flowers, almost like whiskey, but then vetiver and a spicy kick of ginger and black pepper take over. It’s masculine but not exclusively so, with moderate longevity and sillage lasting about 6 hours. I recommend it for its quality.

It opens fresh and sharp, almost metallic, and dries down very similar to Yves Saint Laurent’s ‘Y’. Longevity and projection are moderate, but it smells fantastic in the dry-down; use it for anything. P.S. If you missed it, Zara sells ‘London Saville Row Mayfair’ and it smells even better.

It’s not bad, and I don’t see much similarity to ‘Y’. The opening is pleasant and enjoyable, but once it dries down, it leaves a rubber or latex scent that might not appeal to everyone.

Excellent vetiver backed by ginger, which gives it a very pleasant sparkling counterpoint. The blend is interesting and original. I don’t like the iris, the third ingredient according to Zara. Longevity and projection are acceptable if you apply generously and reapply. It’s ideal for mixing with other fragrances or from the same house. I bought two bottles before they discontinued it and almost regret not buying more.
