Why am I seeing so many Zara fragrances on Parfumo and other websites?

Are they really making colognes worth trying? I kinda feel like this is just cheap shyt so it's highly accessible across all their stores.

Let me know if I'm wrong though.

My guess is Parfumo has a heavy European audience. And Zara is all over Europe.

The other thing is that a lot of the Zara scents
1) cheap
2) well known perfumers
3) sometimes the scents are inspired by popular scents

This one is a Sunrise on the Red Sand Dunes (Eau de Parfum) by Zara is a Louis Vuitton Imagination clone.

I can personally recommend Rich Warm Addictive. Cheap, lasts all day, but it's a sweet so I don't rock it as much as I like it.

Got this delivered yesterday!

Qaed Al Fusan



This smells exactly like opening a can of Dole pineapples.


Definitely my speed.
Mad pineapple syrup.

The 1 in the white bottle the same but coconut. I don't even like the taste of coconut but it is fire.

This post inspired me to look into this as I am looking to get into colognes without breaking the bank. People insist the quality is not compromised despite the low price, so I copped a couple bottles that are on the way now.

All from Lattafa. Parenthesis is what it's supposed to emulate.

Eternal Oud (MDK Grand Soir)

Asad (Dior Sauvage Elixir)

Khamrah (Killian Angels Share)

Oud for Glory (Oud for Greatness)

Qaed Al Fursan(the one you posted, not sure what its a clone of)

Excited to see! Thanks for the gem.

I'm thinking about getting Eternal Oud! I seen a lot of good reviews for it.
I got Asad and was disappointed.

I ordered Oud for Glory but it never got delivered and I got refunded for it.

I've had all the ones you mentioned. They are all good to me for the price.


Eternal Oud - Kinda reminds me of syrup but it's nice. Atomizer is great

Asad - Smells good and has pretty good performance but feels like there is some depth missing. Spicy vanilla is what i get from it

Khamrah - Definitely a sweet fragrance. Reminds me of a dessert with ginger or cinnamon

Oud for Glory - This one took some time to appreciate. Straight oud imo and just smells dry. Wasn't bad after coming back to it later. Not for everybody

Qaed Al Fursan - A lot of ppl say they get fresh pineapple. I can smell the pineapple but the saffron stands out more to me. Smells like BR540 with some pineapple

I need to cop some of those, especially Eternal Oud.
Khamrah is a beautiful fragrance, but it's not exactly Angel's Share (even though it's the same DNA). It's based on another Middle Eastern cologne:
I think I saw a reviewer say that Qaed Al Fursan is a blend of Aventus, BR540, & something else. Whatever it is, it smells fantastic!
One last thing, let that Asad macerate! I got mine in the spring, & it smelled like bug spray. Now that I let it sit for a few months, it smells great!

So. Cal
Got my YSL tuxedo on the way.

Bleu de chanel edp just came today.

Got one more room for my last fragrance to set me at 10 then i need to chill for a bit lol.

Was thinking of adding Armaf Untold for that sweet smell. In not a huge fan on sweet unisex smells but that BR540 is a beast scent.

Really fukkin' with this Une Rose sample by Obvious. Kinda confused by a lot of mfs leaning toward it being for women with it being unisex. Shyt ain't even all that sweet or powdery dominant fr. Lowkey, the rose might be the faintest note of em all in this bih ironically. Shyt make me really wanna see what they did with that Pistache edp
