Better than L'homme?...
LoL I had to include that dang clickbait title that so many YouTubers use to get views. Oddly enough, it's probably justified in this case. Because to me, this stuff IS BETTER than the current formulation of L'homme. Props to Gianluca for turning me onto it (and Y Collection).
Just so you know, the notes here on Parfumo are accurate and come straight from the box. The opening is heavy on the pineapple and apple, with tonka and amber creeping in after a few minutes. Then comes the cedar and a real dense musk to add some complexity and creaminess. And boy is this CREAMY. Really, really awesome.
The similarity to L'homme is absolutely immediate - right from the first spray - SHAMELESS and rather amusing. After that, it gets even closer. And after 2 hours, it basically becomes a muskier and less bright version of L'homme due to the absense of ginger and a few spices. But to me, that only makes it less sharp, less soapy and even more appropriate for evening wear. Result - 3 compliments on my first wearing. It's smooth, inoffensive, ultra pleasant and totally unisex. Need I say more?
For years, I've been looking for a suitable and affordable replacement for the current formulation of L'homme and this is definitely it. The longevity is better and so is the projection. Plus, the price itself justifies purchasing multiple bottles (which I did) and it may even be one of the best gift purchases you can make this year (along with Y Collection).
I don't work for Zara or any other frag house, but this juice deserves proper recognition, just like Gianluca said. It's too bad that Zara frags usually don't stick around for more than a year; so it you see this one and love L'homme, I would urge you to scoop it up. Just don't tell anyone...I still have Christmas shopping to do!
