Zara doesn't give a f***
Zara has a real sense of humor. Or gives industry the finger. Or lets school trainees do the final inspection of its products. But probably they can simply afford it or it is them schnurzpiepegal.

Since one buys one of the best perfumers and writes his name wrong on the bottle (admittedly with the new no longer). Or spells names of the fragrances at best maximum creative ("Royal Fressia" - who does not know them, the flowering Fressien). Or messes up the arrangement of the words (unless the fragrance is really called "Red Zara Temptation" lately). Would not surprise me with the mass of fragrances that Zara throws in the worst sense of fast fashion on the market, if the quality control also Alberto Gorillas waved through.

At the same time, many of Zara's newer fragrance creations are actually surprisingly well done. As with everything else, they suck up the trends, copy them quickly and rotzen them cheaply on the market. Good, of course, for people on a tight budget. Especially if you do not want to smell cheap.

Because also "Sand Desert..." smells really good. Initially still slightly (incense) smoky, it quickly becomes sweet-gourmandig, cinnamon-vanillig with delicious development to the Schokoladigem. The orange note flashes on my skin only slightly, it remains essentially the vanilla with mild spice. For a zara fragrance, the longevity is really okay, so 5-6 hours I perceive it well, while not projecting obtrusively. For an EdP, however, mediocre at best. For autumn / winter it is a really pleasant fragrance, both casual and evening.

As with Zara unfortunately almost always usual is the disastrous sprayer. Lousy plastic quality, which also times like to give up the ghost and just still so useful nebulizes. But at the discount price must be made just cutbacks.

A cuddly blanket that has become a perfume
I just ordered you for my husband on the off chance because I've read so many positive things about you everywhere. Yes, okay, at that price my expectations were rather average, but maybe I can't do much wrong...

A first test spray and my husband immediately grumbles "What's that? Is there wood in it? Nah, I don't like it!"

Okay, so I put you in the drawer for a while and left you alone. Then today, after two weeks of not thinking about you, I took you out again and tested you on myself.

From the very first second, I find you so beautiful, so warm, so soft, so tart-sweet and cuddly! And not woody at all. Chocolatey, cinnamony, very gourmand, with a hint of orange, a little smoke and lots of tonka.

Yes, I'll keep you if my husband doesn't want you!

Hours later, you are still very perceptible, and that at your price. That's amazing! The man suddenly starts sniffing you and finds you really interesting. Now all of a sudden, ey...

So another fresh spray and my husband finds you so delicious and sweet and no longer woody at all. But I'm sorry, you're mine now!

Well, okay, maybe I'll lend you out once in a while... maybe...

Angels' Share with complexes
Admittedly, it smells very similar to the hyped Angels Share, which isn't really my kind of fragrance and didn't really warm me up. It's well made and a beautiful construct of sweetness and made for souls who want to drown themselves in warm cognac.
Lovingly surrounded by hazelnut & tonka bean. But the Zara clearly lacks persistence and depth.
Cinnamon flakes rain softly here too, but they sink very quickly into the snow and disappear never to be seen again. A hint of citrus hangs lazily in the air. It all seems very calm and not intrusive. In winter, this candidate is much too weak on the chest. It is probably more suited to warmer days. The fragrance itself is very straightforward, without any outbursts or recesses. It is the way it falls on the skin. That's how it stays.

What Zara presents here is incredibly close to Kilian, whereby you really can't go wrong for the few euros. But what is absolutely not right is the sillage and the durability. These are miserable and the fragrance fizzles out very quickly. I don't know if that's my perception, but it really is like that on me. It's a shame, because it really is a tasty scent for little money that is neither intrusive nor annoying. It's equally suitable for both sexes and not too bad for layering. The bottle is also plain and simple. I like it, even the name!

An Angels' Share with complexes that knocks on Kilian's door here, but doesn't generate the desired passion, as it ultimately comes across as far too shy and quiet. Although you can't really complain about the price.

Happy Easter to you all

Honest words about the brand whose fragrances and this...
Hello everyone,

this review is only about the fragrance "Sand Desert At Sunset | Zara", but must include everything in the range of fragrances of the house and it is a "pleasure" to say so...

So,
i'm definitely not a FAN of fragrance houses trying to create a 1:1 clone, for me it's not necessarily about whether they do it well or less well... You see... ah.... Imagination + Aventus + Baccarat Rouge 540 Eau de Parfum (for example) are successful - let's jump on the bandwagon and want a piece of the cake / success... i don't think this is good!

And secondly, it's not very creative. If companies like nishane, for example, take inspiration and put something together / mix something themselves and thus take different and quasi better and better paths, then this is clearly different in my opinion.

If I move away from the copying issue with fragrances at ZARA, then I am extremely (negatively) struck by the massive number of releases in recent years and if you combine this with the fact that we are cloning... very very difficult.

About the fragrance:

It's good - no question about it.
Sweet, gourmand, spicy and subtly smoky and that with the price tag is already "crass". Whether you like it or not is up to you! And yes, it is noticeably a LOW BUDGET clone of Angels' Share !

Performance is ok and suitable for the price with a 6 - 7 (each).
In the months from October to March, such fragrances are always suitable
and are very well received - I am less surprised, it is also a great fragrance.

Can I recommend it:

If you are a student, trainee or don't like to spend a lot of money on fragrances, then it's something.
If you have a similar view on the subject... then rather no!

But as I said, it's purely a personal opinion!
And now have a nice day/evening, or whatever you read this review, LG the Benny

A little dream
This fragrance is the cracker! I ordered him first as a bottling, but that will not last long. The starts on my skin with a mixture of cinnamon and leather (although not listed) and a sensual sweetness on top. It's so harmonious to me. I was hoping the whole time that it wouldn't change much after opening. And thankfully, it didn't significantly. I still welcomed the orange in perfect measure. Otherwise, an excellent unisex fragrance. I've had to smell it on my wrist so many times and it's a super sign with me. H/S are good. It's not a beast, but I would prefer it more in the fall and winter.

A well-balanced gourmand. Brandy, cinnamon, a dominant and almondy tonka bean with the right sweetness, slightly smoky. Great for the price.

This one has something that reminds me of JPG ultramale but taking an oriental way. Good work by Lapouza.

Dials back on the boozy gourmandness of Angels Share and turns up the woody incense notes. More spicy and masculine. Good stuff for cheap!
