Had grad just bock over 6 hours to comment on a random fragrance that I have not often worn, I might do more often :D

Mega nice opening, unfortunately in the first minute still with an alcoholic note, then pure sweet. Bit Teenie moderately, but is also a Zara fragrance....
Sweet artificial cinnamon so no cinnamon stick but the cinnamon flavor in food, it lacks the tart. Bisschen arg penetrant werdend, somehow sharp but after 10 minutes that also flattens and he is surprisingly good. Bit of wood mixed with cleanness. So not really shower gel, not really basic soapy. But it smells clean with woods. It gets kind of nutty and yummy, has that One Million vibe in it in the supposed Stronger with you imitation without smelling like One Million. Then there is this lighter fresh, sweet, this yes... "coconut water", even if coconut water smells different, not like sweet water-coconut pampe, which it is not here but it is sweet and reminds a bit of coconut flavour drops in thin concentration, which coconut water really is not. Since the tart is missing, and is too much sweetness but wass yes before already.... In itself really a sweet scent with different woody facets, partly in the barky, partly in the tropical and partly in the... Nutty going but in itself a good wearable fragrance for the narrow Taler the nowhere and times without going analytically ran to go... yes he diftet good. Sweet, woody, warm, fits. If I don't care and the scent would be on a buddy in the car next to me, I would notice it, not waste any thought on it and not be disgusted, it's just a perfume that is very pleasing, unfortunately not outstanding or particularly good in its discipline. Can definitely wear times and if it has to go fast ind one grad no perfume there has, off in the Zara, aich ne Pulle get and 6 sprüher on it, that's enough for a date, gym or anywhere else where it should be just pleasing and can be quiet Teenie vibes. At a job interview, business dinner or opera visit ... Rather not so suitable.

An easy Amber for everyone, men and women!
Zara Amber Ego is a scent tending to sweet that can be worn indiscriminately by both boys and girls. It is a perfume that follows today's trends of sweet and easy fragrances. Perhaps more suitable for a Young audience. Packaging and bottle are nice and well designed. The price is exceptional: 10.95 euros per 100 ml. My nose smells of vanilla with hints of white woods and soft spices. It is pleasant and, while sweet, not cloying. Its ease of use and fragrance makes it interesting and captivating. It lasts the correct time on the skin. Suitable for a cold season. Despite being very economical It has a certain finesse and subtle elegance. If you like perfumes, like me, tending to sweet-gourmant I think it's worth trying!

Ambergris No. 4

Amber of Zara - Amber Ego

Yeah, this is where it all happens. There's going to be some hustle and bustle here now. Sweet slats. Starts strongly with plum, so among others for bodybuilders and philosophers and is suitable "for mystical nights" - That's what it says !

First, we invite you to dinner. Lots of filling with cinnamon and sugar. Cardamom is on, patchouli patches, the plates are decorated with little herbs. All quite sweet. Ambergris sweet. The full blast. The food is eaten with wooden spoons cut from mahogany rather than cedar. Drinks are dedicated to opulence. Coconut water. Sweet. Smooth.

With a handful of cream we cream the body, lie down in the solarium, for thinking and enjoying, for healthy sweating and to get amber brown. For hours. To champion. Because the dessert is put on the long bench and is only served in the early morning.

Then a hint of apple fits. Instead of...

Stronger With You Tenderly
So, I was drawn to this cologne after reading and listening to a myriad of reviews that compare it with Emporio Armani Stronger With You. I didn't pay too much attention to this collection when it came out on the market, which includes Blue Spirit, Red Mind and Gray Soul, as I was more interested in the Jo Malone's collection released at the same time. Guess what? I like Amber Ego.

Sweet and warm scents like trendsetter Paco Rabanne Pure XS, 1 Million, Invictus, or CH Man, JPG Ultramale, Obsessed for Men by Calvin Klein, YSL Y, Kenzo PH Parfum, and Azzaro Wanted, or the Armani AdG Absolu. All of them built around the prevalent synthetic ambergris molecule: ambroxan. Anyway, Amber Ego itself is built out from the ambrox with cardamom and violet instead. So, if you are fond of any of those above, you will appreciate this one.

The opening is rather fresh, fruity, and sweet, and there are a light citrus accord and a bit stronger apple vibe that is sparkling, with a minty nuance in the background, reminiscent of 1 Million Lucky and Privé. Hence, the overall opening, to many of you, might be similar to Invictus. Yet, everyone judges it based on the initial spray on paper, and this is not another Invictus clone. I think it's lazy to say this smells like Invictus because there's so much more going on. Give it some time. Cardamom is minty yet not overwhelming, some spicy pink pepper, and a tiny wedge of citrus fruit to help it carry. Mostly warm spice on a bed of sweetened ambrox is what hits the nose right away. The freshness present keeps the sweetness from becoming too heavy or cloying and helps give it some airiness.

Further development on down the line after initial sprays leads to a thin violet leaf (ALPHA-ISOMETHYL IONONE) that slightly recalls Dior Fahrenheit, something which has become more popular to do once again as the note mixes admittedly well with ambergris real or fake. A fainty lavender and substantial clary sage element help dry out the mixture just a bit, and it's an ever-faithful combo that has been appearing in masculine-marketed fragrances since time immemorial, serving as it usually does here. The heart is even a tad spicy, sweet-spicy, and I guess it is due to cinnamon (Eugenol) that is listed in the ingredients.

Beyond that, the base is pretty standard for the latter half of this decade, converging on ambroxan and norlimbanol molecules, or amber woods accord, but flanked with vanilla and a sugar-coated roasted nutty accord, slightly smoky. I do get the cedarwood vibe here and there, it is not outstanding, yet it is part of the dry down.

Ok then, Amber Ego is prone to a lot of hate, but I get lots of compliments when wearing it. It does project well and lasts a good while on the skin. It has a moderate-heavy projection for the first 3 hours, and then a light-moderate projection for about five remaining hours. The overall sweet-oriental-gourmand accords make it perfect for cold seasons, late Fall and Winter, and evening events. All in all, a pretty lovely vanilla fragrance! Still reasonably heavy but fresh and uplifting enough to shine in cold weather.

For me, the scent starts like a Halloween Man X without the coffee note. It is very sweet, quiet cloying. After one hour, I feel some smoke.
