[@majstorgile]

Please keep doing budget fragrances as well, as an fragrance addict, its lovely to see experienced nose explore for gems like Leather Jardin.

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

Leather Jardin is so so good.

[@michaelokonofua3366]

Elevated Oud can last up to 24 hours on the skin . Pretty strong too. Definitely not a blind buy. Might go for blooming Oud next

[@maki6867]

I can smell it on clothes 7+ days later, should come with a warning sign

[@haromatik]

I have all 4 of them and have been wearing these for the past couple of weeks. All 4 are amazing fragrances for MEN and i can see Sebastian changing his opinion about all of these after full wearings! They simly come alive on skin but it takes around 30 - 40 min to truly see what Alberto Morillas is offering here.. Beautiful send bubble, last all day and 4 fragrances for 4 seasons. (If you spray these on your skin and put your nose immediately to smell it you will hate/dislike/dismiss all four,just don't. Wait for it to open up with your body heat and it does , then you will see the magic) Thank you

[@markpatel]

How's the sillage and longetivity?

[@summerforever6736]

10 feet 17 hours easy

[@haromatik]

Really impressive,these are parfum concentrations so they don't project loudly but beautiful scent bauble around you specially when you move..

[@GoranAbraxas]

I bought all four of them on a whim, probably should have went for just the two of them, Elevated Oud and Virtuous Oud... Elevated being the favourite as it changes substantially over time, the drydown is that rubbery leathery oud that Morillas uses in his Golden Oud for Mizensir, just not as potent nor of the same quality. It just makes me crave that Golden (as in expensive) Oud.

[@darkdakota6251]

A great collection of fragrances from Alberto Morillas for Zara! $40 for Oud fragrances created by master perfumer Alberto Morillas! I have tried all of them on skin and found them to all delightful, and wore beautifully. I don't think they are anything out of the box, but keep in mind Zara is in the business of selling large amounts of fragrances to many types of customers. I overheard several sales associates saying the collection was too rough, and smelled awful, saying they would not recommend any of the collection to their customers, case in point. I think that Zara has to walk a tight rope when it comes to releasing fragrances that will please the masses ,and generate some interest from fragheads alike. I am thrilled to see Zara offering budget friendly options with master perfumers creating fragrances that not just another clone. I look forward to more of these types of offerings from Zara.

[@salome8559]

Why stop the Zara videos ? I love them

[@unretrofied2470]

Blooming Oud have a nice dry down it's my favorite from this 4. Also don't quit on Zara fragrances 😢

[@Eugen_Duft]

Я очень ждал этот обзор от Вас!!!!🎉

[@hakkerden435]

My favourite Virtous and Blooming Oud.

[@Pockyliciousness]

They've already anounced four new vanilla fragrances for women! I love Zara fragrances but they come and go waaaayy too fast!

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

gotta love vanilla 🍦🍦🍦

[@Pockyliciousness]

@@ThePerfumeGuy I complain about their release schedule but I'll probably still buy at least one anyway! Vanilla is really having a moment and I love it

[@gen_o]

They are ‘fast fashion’ down to their fragrances. I guess they found some market for these smell-alikes.

[@SeedKreations]

i got cha. alot of perfumers this days what they do is use the same base and tweak a few middle and top notes. i use some notes in perfumery that for some may be ilegal. but it works for me. keeps my creativity

[@raulsaavedra709]

Sebastian why stopping reviewing Zara fragrances? Even if not these from A.M, some of them are truly great value. You still must try to smell "Sunrise on the red sand dunes," "Sand desert at sunset," and also "Warm Black."

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

Don't forget this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jmmWhYtjbdKnedE and don't skip the bonus section! :)

[@lerroyoriema5121]

It’s so exciting to watch this right after stumbling into these ouds on an impromptu visit to Zara yesterday! The blooming oud intrigued me the most, and I sampled it on skin and my goodness! It’s such a beautiful unisex oud & rose! It’s masculine leathery oud in the opening, then a beautiful bouquet of florals emerge in the mid (my favourite part) and then dries down to a near replica of Oud Wood. I am returning it to purchase it ASAP. Maybe revisit them after your trip? I think you approached them with an underwhelmed mindset because you’re jaded by the barrage of releases, but also of oud fragrances in general.

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

Bored of Oud most likely. But I did enjoy two of the 4 of this Zara collection: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jmmWhYtjbdKnedE

[@johncarloburton5611]

I will be passing on all 4 of these....sadly. I will pick up Livre Blanc by Giocobetti tho. Leather Jardin is AWESOME !

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

Good choice! Livre Blanc is really good.

[@DeeDavinci]

I was the same way even though I’m an oud lover

[@justaddlight]

Both collections were barely "meh" for me. I heard the new Antique Brown was rather decent though and I'm still waiting for the Vanilla collection to become available. Fingers crossed for Vanilla Vibration! 🤞 Vanilla, papyrus and iris?? Yes pllllease.

[@isobel64]

The vanillas are really good!

[@majstorgile]

Elevated oud reminded me of Gucci Guilty Absolute, but toned dowed.

[@michaelbullock8011]

Great video and I enjoyed it and I'm going to try these fragrances and have a blessed day

[@amivali2890]

I'm so-so glad that we have similar taste in fragrances, and thank you, Sebastian, for teaching me a looot of things about perfumes. I had absolutely same reactions and opinions regarding this series. Like, why is it called Oud collection while they all are just citruses-vetiver combinations? So disappointed

[@AndreasHamberg]

I’ve had a chance to try them all, can’t remember which was which but two of them were really pleasant Imo. You can definitely smell that they are Alberto Morillas creations and if you like his dna you’ll for sure like these, also at great value for money.

[@maki6867]

Blooming oud best of the bunch

[@lowrider419fly]

I really appreciate your Zara fragrances' reviews!

[@Bathalemedia2]

Just recently bought Blooming Oud and was a total blind buy it’s beautiful on the skin. I do get the sweet floral scent but it is indeed animalic 😂😂😂🔥🔥

[@MrMoyocoyo69]

They’re all ok but memorable oud it’s just fantastic, long lasting at least 10 hours on my skin and for Zara fragrances that is a plus.

[@LorenSajona]

Glad that you are doing this one. I haven't tried memorable oud. Blooming Oud reminded me of Zara vibrant leather intense. I didn't buy any as they weren't my style.

[@byMRTNjournals]

Im a fan of Alberto Morillas because of you. I bought mauboussin Homme edp and its been my signature scent since then. I then started researching him and buying his bigger known frags. Did you ever try Mauboussin & Lempicka together for a Casual Friday alternative?

[@ToriZealot]

I have Aigle Imperial, Nuit des Rois, Agar Royal and Or de Calambac and love this collection.

[@FRD-HDD]

You are referring to the Chopard Gardens of the kings collection. Are there any similarities with the zara oud collection that you mention these?

[@ToriZealot]

@@FRD-HDD haven't tested Zara yet, but ai would be wondering if the Zara Version are cheap editions of the Chopard series. However, cheap Oud may not be the real thing

[@Adam_StefaniakSaltea_Moonspell]

Good Christmas gifts for Uncle when you don't know what to get and don't want to spend a lot. Thank you Sebastian for the review.

[@-lavender-777]

Blooming old is my favorite as a woman

[@DeeDavinci]

I love oud and smelled this collection today and didn’t like any of them. I get that barnyard smell. Great review.

[@cortneyperfume_madness480]

Well good luck with the Zara no buy. Hope you're having fun in Europe!❤❤❤

[@TheEagleslover]

Nope, won’t be rushing out for any. Not to say I won’t buy any from Zara. Thanks for both videos. They are appreciated.

[@gourmandyandy]

They just launched 7 more 😅 4 from Vanilla collection and 3 new from previous Men's 2023 collection

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

Damn man WTH. I'm done. LOL. Never say never.

[@gourmandyandy]

@@ThePerfumeGuy I know they are mental 😂 but I bought just one from Vanillas

[@majstorgile]

Blooming oud is my favorite, although I got similar ones from Alberto like GG Absolute, PP NoLomit

[@majstorgile]

0:42 But they did release 3 new, and their are available in Europe. I bought Nostalgia Blue created by Ilias Ermenidis (nose behind Althair Parfums de Marly)

[@motoredo314]

Those parfume is it last longer??

[@fess04]

i lovem' / really enjoying them. particularily Viirtuos and Memorable i got them weeks before you did and im glad you did this. all the other coverage has been European.

[@nevenaljubinkovic9827]

Lrarher jardine is gorgeous. There are new packages, 75 ml, with orange labels on the botle. I think it is weaker and watery 😢.

[@moneyparhar]

Have u ever tried scentstory 24 gold oud edition. It's very nice. Last for while for being edt

[@flightgravity7483]

I did not like Elevated Oud. It smelled like smoke from a barbecue on me. Virtuous Oud is nice though. Reminds me of Oud Minerale a bit.

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

Yes I can see the Oud Minerale. And strangely after testing those four more that turned out to be my fave even with that very smelly calone note.

[@samueldevore44]

Sniffled each atomizer of all 4 of the OuD collection and none of them struck my interest...sadly😩

[@tabacarudelia8502]

I've managed to sample Virtuous oud and Blooming oud today because they didn't have testers for the other two, but honestly I wasn't impressed. They were ok, but I wouldn't buy them. Thank you for the video!

[@kksdndr]

Another great one!! Could you a review about MES BISOUS house?? Specially TOBACCO FLIRTING WITH VANILLA... ✌️✌️

[@isak1496]

Hello Sebastian, when is the Althair review coming out? 😀

[@Avarage.Joe-David]

you going to europe -> There you can get all new zara parfume for a fraction of the cost :) 25$ including taxes or less

[@therealParisHilton]

OMG I swear what am saying is true since these two lines been released there has been only one English review about them done by one KZbinr and I have been wanting to ask you if you've heard about these 2 new lines and whether you will do a review but I remembered you saying on your last zara video that you are done with zara fragrances for a while and you are not gonna review anything from zara for sometime! Really happy that you changed your mind and done the reviews ❤

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

I get peer pressure to review. So I jumped in. AM because they were Oud and OG because it was OG. Love her work and she's never done Zara before.

[@shmoopiebear]

Sampled and liked them all. Just can't justify any of them at the retail prices they're priced at. Maybe when they blow them out on sale. Maybe.

[@scentholic959]

Awaiting eagerly your review on Parfums De Marly Althier

[@rajdiproy3301]

can you do a review of Victorinox wood ??

[@limesinfinity6864]

Virtous Oud, kinda gives me vibe of acqua di gio perfume, blooming oud is the best from me

[@limesinfinity6864]

btw, solid performance with blooming oud, and virtous was 6 hours with 3 sprays in same spot, not a skin scent and they are 2990 RSD(~29$) here in Serbia

[@yigitjpeg7315]

​@@limesinfinity6864 Is sillage in B.O. good? How many hours of longevity do you get?

[@mrmike616]

Morillas is a fragrance factory like a cottage industry. So when you put out so many you’re probably not as concerned with quality.

[@TheTechnicsfan]

Tried all on skin. One was like a combination of Zara Endless Oud (Guilty Absolute) and Zara for Him Red Edition. I have both that was a pass for me. The rest was nice, but nothing special. They are all for new fragrance ppl, not for those with a collection.

[@hungrybowl625]

Does Virtuous Oud smell like Oud and Bergamot by Jo Malone?🤔

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

That is my favorite even though it has a fairly strong calone note. But the idea is similar even though they don't smell too close to me. No marine notes in the Jo Malone but I think it will do as a alternative if you can't afford the JM! :)

[@martianlynch6769]

Hey man… what’s your opinion on men wearing women fragrances? Is there a note/accord that is best received by both?

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

I would start with unisex fragrances first so you can experience stuff that suits both men and women. Then you will start understanding the notes and which wears better on you. You just have to be comfortable smelling like the notes smell like. Then you can wear them confidently! You can go right to women's scents but I think you will ease into them easier by going with the unisex options! :)

[@martianlynch6769]

@@ThePerfumeGuy thanks for the suggestions, I already know you know your stuff but you’re always so kind 🙌

[@WilliamMiller-nr5gb]

Yes! I'm soooo excited to get these after witching your video! 😂🤣 not. However... AM is my favorite perfumer. So we'll see.

[@byMRTNjournals]

I have a feeling Zara did zero creative directing and paid AM the bare minimum, and AM gave them what they paid for.

[@boogiedaddy3434]

Shame that the entire line was boring. Oh well, at least the Olivia Giacobetti ones ended up being good.

[@intellectual84]

You are amazing 🤩 great review

[@MrLanarana]

Test them all, I love Morillas, but these one are nice but forgottable

[@adnaanfakir5500]

I think Zara are going mild and safe on these, which simply means they’ll have more reach on sales. Definitely boring for an enthusiast.

[@therealParisHilton]

Shit i just saw the new 3 released in men's collection called nostalgia bule, antique brown and absolutely dark. This is so not fair i haven't managed to buy any of the new oud collection whats going on with zara? I guess they are realizing its a good money cashing business

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

OMG they are working on dropping a new fragrance every day at ZARA. Jesus christ.

[@FayeCNL]

Great to see budget scents getting some attention from reputable noses.

[@isobel64]

Sebastian you Gotta do the new Zara vanillas. THEN take a break lol

[@MeditateMark]

Zara peaked with Leather Jardin imo.

[@designedbynoir7627]

have to try them on skin pg, felt like you wrote them off a little too soon

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

Tried them on skin still don't like them!

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

Honestly though I write off a lot of fragrances from smell, which most people do to. So if I don't like a smell still have to try them on skin? I'm sure that is not what you do. LOL! ;)

Who smell Memorable oud??? The smell is like dior sauvage elixir just little ....

Cheers.

[@A1finesse]

I got virtuous Oud and for me it’s super weak pleasant smell but all in all a waste of money

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

Oh bummer cause people are saying they get great longevity.

[@Ajibolaa]

Zara is pure trouble 😂😂😂 you can’t keep up when it comes to their releases and. Discontinuations. Anyways we still have a lot of the older releases that have been discontinued elsewhere here in Canada so I’d get my fill till they eventually disappear as they do 😂

[@coolandgood0062]

For me the best by far were the Santal 33 doupes. Tiveden and Scent #1 were so good, especially Tiveden.

[@yajairamarquetti9859]

I love ❤ Oud fragrances ❤️

[@mariusgoana]

Disappointing all of them. Had high expectations due to the perfumer. Nothing special quite boring. Try sand desert at sunset though, that's gorgeous

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

I agree they are quite boring for sure.

[@darrensiew2440]

I disliked them too. They are not oud at all. Pretty meh.

@@ThePerfumeGuy 🤣🤣it's really impossible to keep up

[@tinastanley9215]

I can tell that you're very meh about these lol. Very different from Mizensir, yes? 🙃

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

I'm just bored of the Oud in these. The Oud are too overpowering to me compared to the other notes. The other notes do not stand a chance against the very strong oud. And also all four fragrances feature the same damn Oud so bored of. Eventually the one I ended up liking was Virtuous Oud but also the Calone was too strong but still the Oud overpowered. :(

[@laurence8209]

Zara has fragrances that you can barely distinguish.
