Zara Elixir Fragrances + Dupe LAYTON EXCLUSIVE - Vibrant Leather & Tobacco - Sandalwood - Violet

[@ScentCity]

Have you tried these fragrances already? Would love to hear your thoughts! ☺

[@hetti2268]

Brought tobacco elixir when it first came out loved at first sniff and just by leaving for a few days seem to get stronger, not to keen on the other 2 and violet didn't really like the combination, and as for Sandalwood couldn't smell anything apart from the vibrant Leather profile

[@dipasinha5919]

Hey zara has came up with a new red temptation collection.. Which consists of Red temptation bloom, Red temptation Sandalwood, red temptation tobacco and red temptation vanilla.. If it's available in your location.. Please review them❤

[@handsomebynatasja2947]

Tobacco is echt lekker! M’n kinderen (dochter houdt van heren parfums en is volgende week jarig en m’n zoon geef ik dan ook altijd een cadeautje) En mezelf verwend met deze! De andere vond ik niet veel aan inderdaad. Te sterk en te mannelijk.

Soo glad you decided to include men's fragrances again! I am really intrigued by the Sandalwood one and I am grateful for your (very early) review

[@ScentCity]

Happy to read that! 😊 I hope you’ll enjoy it!

[@oodoo79]

I love the fact that you are the Zara fragrances girl BUT the best is how you describe the fragrances with genuine honesty without necessarily mentioning pretending you smell each and every notes in the pyramid (most of us do not know what violet leaves smell like )

[@ScentCity]

That really makes me happy as I sometimes feel like i’m not as good a fragrance reviewer as other ones here on YT. But then again, we dont always need to know the full in depth analysis of fragrance notes in my opinion, just a general description and the vibe it gives can just be enough 😊 At least that’s how I feel!

[@oodoo79]

@@ScentCityI do hope you keep it like that. Other reviewers appeal to blablaba just to make videos longer. They mention how much of the Tiare flower they smell, how the styrax brings a little oomph or how the benzoin lasts… how many people really do know what these smell like? BTW I have violets at home and violet leaves smell like nothing or if they do, it’s not recognizable in fragrances. Well, violet leaves absolute? Who has access to that and know what that smells like? I’m not a beginner, I have over 500 fragrances. Love your content!

[@Mexnico]

You are THE BEST fragrance reviewer here on KZbin period.

[@asfahjames540]

My 1st one was the Sandalwood and really loved it I had to order another bottle..unfortunately they only had the Violet...Both fragrances are AMAZING and have Excellent performance and smell...the sandalwood to me has a bit more projection but the Violet for me smells a bit more sexier... Overall Zara did it this time with these VL versions...MUST BUY!!!!

[@ohcontraire1915]

YAY! So glad you're reviewing these - I've been curious! & I've missed you doing the men's fragrances, they tend to be more interesting (in my opinion!)

[@ScentCity]

Oh that’s good to know! I keep my eye on the men’s collection and am definitely thinking of reviewing them more often 😊 Happy to read your comment, thank you! 🙏🏼

[@manuchitu5095]

I’m so glad that Zara decided to launch some new fragrances for men and now my husband has something to entertain with while we’re in the store 🤭🙈😁🫶🏻🤗🥰love your videos and you honest opinions❤

[@ScentCity]

Thank you so much, happy to read that! 💕😊

[@jdaniels4898]

To be fair, they always had plenty men's fragrances, and some of them were pretty nice. Just the longevity has been somewhat meh for them...

[@electrinoc]

Great review, I love your candid style and good for you for not editing out the small ‘mistakes’. I recently got the VL & Tobacco and I’m totally in love with it! Very good performance and sillage. Normally I’m not a big fan of vanilla but this is really well blendend. I’ve been back to the Zara store in Antwerp almost weekly and every time I try the Violet one but I’m still on the fence with this one. The dry down is heavenly though but the performance is a tad less than the Tobacco one. The sandalwood leans a bit too much towards the Le Labo Santal 33 to be special. Please continue to do men’s frags on your channel. I suggest getting the Rich Warm Addictive INFINITE, a newflanker for the Tobacco R/W/A range. It’s also in a perfume concentration so performance is pretty great.

[@ScentCity]

Thank you, I love reading that 😊 And who knows, we might bump into each other one day as I regularly visit the Antwerp store (Meir) aswel! ☺️ I’ll def give the infinite flanker a try 🙌🏼

[@electrinoc]

@@ScentCity ah, ook van het Antwerpse? Nice, wie weet? Ik ben grote fan van de Zara geuren: heel wat kwaliteit te vinden voor een leuke prijs. Het zijn niet allemaal toppers maar er zitten echt juweeltjes bij. Keep up the good work, great reviews!

[@dieterdevos8907]

Go for it, they' re only 20 euro now in Belgium, kundeniveursukkele,he Just picked up the tobacco in BXL.

[@alessandroreal3475]

I have The first one for me is better than the other two....i love fragrances more expensive by Zara...They have longevity!!! Nice review !! For me The first one is unisex!!!

[@ScentCity]

I agree with everything in your comment! 😀

[@RachelleSpier]

Ooo my man loves a leather note, I hope my local Zara has these to smell

[@kuklakid]

I have the tobacco one and I love it. I’ll wear it

[@shmoopiebear]

I got the Tobacco one since it is unique to combining to the Aventus DNA scent profile. Violet and Sandalwood is found in just about in everything else and more subtle. The elixir labeling is a hook. It's actually a parfum concentration. Cheers.

[@vanessaissema457]

Amazing review! Will definitely get the tobacco one!!! Also, I will like to hear your thoughts on For Him Red Edition Intense (a new release from the men’s section). For Him Red Edition is yet another dupe of BR 540. I would like to hear how it compares to Red Temptation! Thanks Annaliese ❤

[@hetti2268]

Excellent review, love the tobacco elixir, but seems a bit to strong for my liking, and guess what Zara has released 3 new summer fragrances, can't seem to keep up with them

[@JuliaMiaa]

I love men fragrances from Zara 😊

[@erinkarl5731]

Thanks for this review!❤ I am now quite interested in the Tobacco one, since it seems the most unisex, and I really like the sound of the sweet vanilla note. I'm also quite curious about Zara's new addition to the Rich Warm Addictive line, "Infinite" - I'm quite curious how that one smells, since I have and love Rich Warm Addictive.

[@simplyme8593]

I searched and I couldn't find a Zara perfume named "Infinite". You got me curious and wanted to read about it 🙂 Could it be that it is so new that Fragrantica hasn't listed it yet? 🤔

[@erinkarl5731]

@@simplyme8593 It is on Fragrantica, but for some reason they didn't include the full name - it is under listed as: Infinite Rich Warm Zara.

[@zaprude]

Do you think these fragrances could be worn by women as well, or are they leaning too much towards the men's side?

[@ScentCity]

First one can be unisex due to the vanilla, even though i personally still think tobacco sells ‘masculine’ The other 2 are absolutely very masculine! (Ofcourse, everybody wears what they want ☺️)

[@jdaniels4898]

Third one is dupe of Le Labo Santal 33. Wast majority of niche fragrances are unisex. And yeah, quite a bit of ladies like wearing it. Considering there are plenty of women who love wearing Tuscan Leather type of scents, which personally i can only see on a biker girl, wrapped in leather suit...Santal is way more approachable and unisex.

[@ScentCity]

I really wouldn’t call this a dupe for Santal 33 honestly. Energetivally New York and Majestic Silver are a lot closer. But ofcourse that’s just my opinion, we all experience fragrances differently!

[@jdaniels4898]

@@ScentCity Majestic Silver and New York themselves are twists on Santal 33🤗 So this seems to be new version, with better quality and longevity, following "elixir" trend

[@MotheroftheCats_Matsui]

Bonus video！

[@justaddlight]

Great impressions! I know the tobacco one gets a lot of love from other reviewers. Haven't yet smelled them myself, but I hear Al Haramain's newest Detour Exclusif Noir is a decent take on the PdM if anyone is interested. Thank you again Annaliese! 🤎

[@ScentCity]

I agree with them but you do have to enjoy sweeter fragrances 😊 And ofcourse you’re welcome!! 🙏🏼

[@pattypatmos1776]

Thank you 🙏🏼🥰

[@cuongnguyenidol]

Which one do you think is the most attractive on your husband?

[@ScentCity]

The first one with tobacco! It’s sweet but still manly enough. The other ones smell like a more masculin man to me 😀

[@cuongnguyenidol]
