Very spicy without being too oriental; cinnamon and vanilla dominate. It’s sweet but not cloying or synthetic like trendy Arab fragrances. It doesn’t project well and doesn’t last long, but for the price, it’s not bad. Ideal if you like cinnamon.
People will tell you all sorts of nice things about this perfume, but I’ll be objective: it’s disgusting. It’s the worst garbage I’ve ever smelled, worse than any generic Arab scent. A stinky bomb; the cardamomo smells like vomit and you can’t appreciate anything else. I got it as a Christmas gift and nobody liked it. Don’t waste your money, buy something with quality. The only good thing is that it lasts forever on skin, but it cost me a fortune to get that skunk smell off my hands.
You’ll find a thousand beautiful comments about this perfume online, embellishing it with fancy words to describe the scent… I’ll be objective. It’s DISGUSTING. It’s the worst garbage I’ve ever smelled. Far worse than any generic Arabic perfume. It’s a stench bomb. The cardamom gives it that vomit-inducing note that makes you appreciate nothing. They gave it to me for Christmas, and not a SINGLE person liked it. Don’t waste your money; buy something quality. The only good (or bad) thing is that it lasts forever on skin. It cost me a fortune to get this stink off my hands.
Don’t buy it, it’s horrible.
Very simple floral scent, doesn’t last at all, and I didn’t like it at all.
Very simple floral aroma, doesn’t last at all, and I didn’t like it whatsoever.
If I had to identify my 20s with a fragrance, it would definitely be this one. It’s no-nonsense: you either love it or hate it. The capsule-style bottle seemed futuristic to me, and that enigmatic blend of dominant sweetness and citrus hooked me from the first moment. Whenever I want to nostalgically remember my happy 20s, I put it on 🥹.

They gave this to me as a gift; it’s not really my thing, but it has its charm. It feels a bit mature. The scent reminds me of furniture and car polish, with a strong cinnamon presence. The good thing is that it’s super affordable.
They gave it to me as a gift. It’s not my favorite, but it has its charm. It feels a bit mature. The scent reminds me of those polish products for furniture and cars. What I notice most is the cinnamon. The good thing is that it’s super affordable.
I feel sorry for those who can’t appreciate this rich, talcum-scented fragrance. I’m surprised Diesel brought in a younger crowd with something so vintage: subtly sweet, spicy, and with a sour finish that gives it an instinctively masculine touch.

A HEAVY, Cloying Cinnamon BOMB. I owned this 13 years ago and regretted buying it. Honestly, I never found a moment to wear it, and it was a blind purchase I should have avoided.
A HEAVY, Cloying Cinnamon Bomb. I had this about 13 years ago and regretted buying it. Honestly, I couldn’t find a moment to wear it. I bought it blindly and it was a total mistake.
All in all, it’s not for everyday use. The scent is very warm and spicy. I like it, but I’d never wear it in the heat; it’s meant for cold weather where its strengths really shine.
Definitely not for everyday wear. The aroma is very warm and spicy; personally, I like it a lot, but I would never wear it in the heat. It’s for cold climates where it really shines.
Want to smell like baby powder with a blast of cinnamon? Buy this. Besides being cheap, it smells like grandma’s foot powder with that repulsive cinnamon note. Don’t believe those who say ‘it’s not that bad.’ Let me put it in one word: disgusting.
Not bad, but it’s more of a winter or Christmas scent. Reminds me of classic Old Spice, perfect for young guys. Sillage, longevity, and projection are average. In Ecuador, it’s cheap, around $25. Out of ten women, only four like it. I’d give it a 6/10.
Diesel Zero Men is a cinnamon bomb that doesn’t suit me at all. I’m giving it 4/10 and wouldn’t recommend it; it’s too spicy and overloaded with that spice. If you’re looking for something better, try Polo Double Black.
Honestly, it didn’t convince me. Smells like cinnamon gum and doesn’t last long. It was a gift I appreciated and used, but I wouldn’t buy it again; it’s not my style.
I loved it as a teen; girls went crazy for it. Thirteen years later, when I tried it again, I didn’t like it as much. It’s affordable, with heavy sillage and average longevity. It’s invasive, smells like a cinnamon cappuccino—spicy with vanilla and a hint of talc. It’s worth the price ($15), so if you see it, don’t miss out on trying it, but don’t make a fool of yourself by buying it.
I loved this as a teenager, and girls were fascinated by it. Thirteen years later, when I bought it again, I didn’t like it much. It’s affordable, has a heavy sillage, and moderate longevity. It’s very invasive, smells like cinnamon in a mocha, spicy, slightly vanilla, and powdery. It’s worth the price ($15), so if you see it, don’t miss out on trying it, but don’t go out of your way to buy it.
A blast of cinnamon! It smells exactly as described: pure cinnamon. When I first applied it, it stung my nose; it’s strong. After 15 minutes, it becomes sweet and you can smell the vanilla, though the cinnamon always takes the lead. It’s not a bad perfume, but it’s not for daily wear. My brother has been wearing it for three years and never runs out; I don’t use it because I’d end up hating it. The trail and longevity are very heavy. Since I prefer fruity and fresh scents, I just can’t stand it.

I hate it. My boyfriend wears it daily, but it just doesn’t work for me; the cinnamon and talcum powder scent is overwhelming.
I absolutely hate it. My boyfriend wears it daily, and it just doesn’t work for me; the cinnamon-and-talc mix is overwhelming.
A very intense fragrance. The best part is its affordable price. I’m not sure why I keep comparing it to Calvin Klein’s Obsession.
Strong licorice opening, almost like Coca-Cola. I never noticed the orange or bergamot, or any citrus notes, except briefly at first. After a few minutes, it turns powdery; you can detect the vanilla, cinnamon, and licorice, but over time, the talcum powder dominates from the dry down to the end. It’s cheap, though it doesn’t stand out, it’s a good buy for the price-to-quality ratio. It’s not one of my favorites, but I didn’t hate it. If you like powdery, talcum-scented, and slightly spicy fragrances, this is a good alternative.
