Have you worn Zara Man Gold?

Tell us how it opens, how it settles on your skin, how long it lasts and when you wear it.

  1. If you don’t have another from this line, it’s a luxury-level budget winner. Everyone says it’s Black XS, and I’m sure they’re right since Zara copies everything, though I haven’t tried the original. It got me compliments at winter parties.

  2. If you don’t have another perfume in this range, it’s a luxury performer on top of being cheap. Everyone comments that it’s based on Black XS, surely it is since Zara’s perfumery is based on existing fragrances, but I haven’t tried it myself. I’ve been complimented at winter parties.

    I love it. When I smelled it, I thought, ‘I own something like this,’ and it turned out to be ‘Enciende for Him’ from Mercadona, the silver one. It’s identical. What about longevity? The last sprays of the original Black XS don’t last much longer either.

  4. Alex Aguirre

    I bought it because people say it’s very similar to PR’s Black XS and I love it; I’ve never tried the original and I guess it must smell better, so I plan to buy it later. It’s affordable and has that ‘I’ve heard this before’ scent, though I can’t remember where, very sweet and I see it more for nightwear and no heat.

    I bought it because it’s so similar to PR Black XS and I really like it. I’ve never tried the original, so I assume it smells better, and I plan to pick it up later. It’s affordable, smells like something familiar but I can’t remember where, very sweet, and perfect for night use or warm weather.

  6. As others say, it’s a lower-quality clone of the original. For the price, it smells great, but it doesn’t last long, maybe around 5 hours.

  7. As mentioned, it’s a clone of Paco Rabanne’s Black XS. Nice scent and projection that makes you stand out. It always makes me hungry; it smells like Cavendish and Harvey candies (pears and blackberries).

  9. A steal of a deal that doesn’t smell bad at all. It’s a clone of many perfumes, as generic as it gets, but it smells fine.

  11. Carlitoscofr1

    For the price, it’s not bad. Low performance, sounds like Paco Rabanne’s Black XS to me. I paid 17 euros for the 75ml bottle. Sweet and moderate notes.

    For the price, it’s not bad. Short longevity, reminds me of Paco Rabanne’s Black XS. I paid 17 euros for the 75ml bottle. Sweetish and moderate scents.

    As Radagast says, it’s another Black XS clone; I easily spotted the similarity. In my case, the longevity is average.

    Undisguised copy of Paco Rabanne’s Black XS, with the difference that Zara Gold lasts nothing on the skin.

  15. Radagast

    It’s a straight copy of Paco Rabanne’s Black XS, but Zara Gold doesn’t last even a moment on the skin.
