Elegantly tokyo is really good. Airy lily + light crisp jasmine, not indolic. It tricks my nose to smell like a sweet perfume but up close it is not sweet smelling perfume. Very lovely. My coworker asked me who brought a freaking jasmine garland into the office. And I answered it was my new perfume.
Thought I would love Dubai, but ended up picking up Shanghai. Needed a fresh-ish cardamom to layer with and I heard it was similar to Orange Bitters. Really does have that vibe. Haven't tried Ancestral Papyrus, Leather Jardin, Incense Sunset (similar to Eau de Citron Noir??) or Amber & Fig Cashmere which I hear is also pretty good, but my current JM favs are still Bergamot & Leather Spritz, Vetiver Pamplemousse, Jo's Rhubarb and Ebony Wood. Can always count on Zara to provide us with tons of new releases every year. Jo really upped their fragrance game.
I think these, and many of Jo Malone's fragrances are meant to be mixed and matched. I think she intentionally created simple and linear fragrances so that each individual gets to create their own unique combo. I do it and I end up with more complex and interesting outcomes.
the elegantly Tokyo hit me the moment I tested it even though I did not notice it was a collection that was created by Jo Malone. I just knew it defo had her hand involved. Made me remember Orange Blossom.
Without smelling any, I blind bought London. The only two they had were Seoul and London. I like it, but tends to lean a little masculine because of the musk. It's addictive though. And I smell it all day on me.. Good value.
Tried them in store and brought home the tokyo one. I did felt the exact same feeling about the sandalwood. I remember loving venice and also shanghai. They are all good but not that mind-blowing to me. The tokyo was the more attractive one and it stays on my skin like no other from zara
I have Fleur d'Oranger from the Jo Malone collection. It’s great! It’s like a cross between Neroli Portofino and JM Orange Blossom, but it’s far more linear with the usual 3 note composition they seem to use. But it’s very fresh and bright and a great dumb reach.
I love the Studio but I think the shot would benefit if you lit the background. Your collection would shine with some more light. Not that it matters ... I love all of your videos.
Nice review . Luckily my set was all intact . My faves Shanghai, London and Tokyo . Shanghai stayed on my clothes for a long period of time ! Good longevity considering the prices .
I have bought Tokyo, Madrid and wannabe Santal 33. I regretted not to pick Venice, next time 😁 But my fave is Tokyo and Madrid, I even layered them an love it 😍
Great review. ..I love your eye for detail 👌 Gracefully Madrid is my favourite, followed by Fashionably London I think they are fresh and Elegant. Fashionably London has been out of stock in some Zara stores in the UK! I am definitely going to purchase both the Tokyo and Shangai inspired fragrances.
I work for Zara in the UK, I don’t usually wear Zara fragrances but my favourite from the very first Zara jo Malone collection is Ebony wood which was introduced in 2019 besides this one of our bestselling fragrance in men’s collection is vibrant leather which everybody thinks smells like Creed Aventus but I don’t think it does😁 we also do hand creams and body lotion from Zara jo Malone collection.
I think Vibrant Leather smells pretty close to Aventus. The original batches did at least, but I hear it been reformulated (last year?) and isn't as good anymore. Vibrant Leather Summer (and Vibrant Leather Cologne, which is the same juice in a different bottle as I'm sure you know 😂) is also very close to Dior Homme Cologne, especially in the opening but the dry down isn't quite as good. The new one called Lasting Desire is a pretty close clone of Invictus Victory too.
My faves are London and Dubai. London not surprisingly as I love rose and its kind of classic sensual rose. Dubai is nice wearable leather, soft and friendly.
My favorite is Fashionably London! Before I purchased I heard it was a dupe for Delina. I don’t necessarily agree though… this one tingles the nose more. But to be fair, I’ve never found a Delina dupe that comes close. Favorite Zara scent in general is Ebony Wood. Smells like a cardamom hug.
I was very surprised when I smelt them in store ...as in cheap . I purchase Shanghai cos it lingered on my scarf well. And I purchased another collaboration Vetiver Pamplemousse. Had you tried it ?
Happy to see your reaction to it. And you've intrigued me with the London one. I think that whole set would be a great grab-bag sort of Christmas gift for, like, a whole family, especially a family interested but new to fragrances, so that there could be something to appeal to everybody in the mix.
Great review. I love Seoul and Shanghai 🥰. They smell somewhat different on the skin. I will have to give Tokyo another try. It would be interesting to know if your favourites are still the same after trying them on the skin. Many Greetings 🤗🇩🇪🎄🎄☃️☃️☃️
Sebastian how about checking Zara Warm Black? Commonly said to be in the ball park of Tobacco Vanille and Herod. It is still sold by Zara, although in a new amber bottle. I have the original black bottle and find it great. The one in the new bottle smells very similar to me to say the least, although from memory (which means, not very reliably) did not seem identical, would need to smell them side by side.
I ordered this set around Black Friday as well and had the same problem with the inserts that hold the bottles. All of mine were torn or bent to some extent. I ordered this set along with Jo’s Rhubarb, and that is the one I can’t stop wearing.
Awesome review. Thankyou for reviewing Zara fragrances. Easily accessible on the High Street. Zara have released some solid fragrances recently. Rose Gourmand was superb.
My fave is new york & tokyo.. i dont know how santal 33 smells like but if i had to choose, i pick zara for the price 😂 plus it last longer than any of my zara parfumes. Tokyo doesnt really impress me at first but if i smell it more and compare it to the other it won bcz it smells expensive u know like not a kind of smell that everyone wear.. And now im curious about venice, seoul and paris
This was so fun! I really enjoyed this review - I am going to try to get the whole collection! I mean, for the price - why not?!?! I think I will enjoy many of these - Seoul, Tokyo, London and Venice sound really nice to me...Thank you for doing this video! xoxox
Not a fan of Jo Malone fragrences they don't suit my skin candles smell ok though clicking the bell hope you have a great Christmas Sebastian looking forward to your utubes in the new year ✨
Bought the Jo LovexZara collection, love Dubai, Tokyo and New York the most! Not sure why the price was $169, now $149. Yes, love your background/set-up.
My box was also damaged and the label was off. Luckily I was able to just stick it back on. Also no cute post card. Such a shame. I wasn’t impressed with the stunningly Venice one I ordered. Too light, no projection.
Tried tokyo i dont know what to buy as favorite. Iam btw tokyo london or venice. And also i still use from zara rain collection rose rop petals and white flower posy, wow perfumes.
Wow I was way off the mark on your Facebook post regarding these fragrances 😆 I guessed new york which was a doozy lol. Clearly not a "creamy" sandalwood, but rather the dry santal. Oopsie!
I was so disappointed by warm rich and addictive by Zara that I don’t even want to try them. Everyone seemed so enjoying it, but I found it plain and alcoholic for a warm fragrance. With this collection I feel it would be -again- an irritant alcoholic kind of smell. And I don’t feel your usual enthusiasm while reviewing them. What are your thoughts on that ? Thanks for the review
wondering if you have tried those new super nice bottles: red temptation, rose gourmand, majestic opulence, sublime epoque, memoire intense, golden decade, amber fusion, vibrant leather for her… etc… lots of people say those are dupes of famous perfumes. i know they are targeted for women but you are a great perfume reviewer, what are your thoughts on those?
hey Sebastian have You heard about YET ANOTHER 4 different Zara & Jo Malone releases?-- Leather Jardin , Universal Oud , Ancestral Papyrus and Incense Sunset?...I seriously CAN'T keep with their releases... seems like they really don't care about the info release..Zara website is the most confusing thing ever- If you don't know the exact name of what You are looking for You will NOT find it under perfume or fragrance category...aaanyway-- Leather Jardin seems to be this floral leather thing that kind of resembles Cuir De Russie by Chanel... and Ancestral Papyrus smells very fresh and green... let us know if You will manage to get hold of them ;)
I bought many Zara fragrances, and one of them was highly recommended by the UA-cam's gurus. Well I was highly disappointed with "fashionable in London ". It smells like old man colonge that is mixed with very sweet Rosie fragrance. All I can tell you is that it's not a good mix.
Zara is infamous for damaged goods. Really sloppy. Undeniably beautiful fragrances though, they've got something for every nose. Great review! I have 5 of them myself with magnificently dubai coming in as my favorite of the bunch. 😁

Ada mbak dewi, btw ku juga setuju dengan tokyo karena aromanya buatku terkesan semprotan awal tester saat di tempat
Just got this whole set for 30 euros during Zara's sale. I think it's very worth it for that price. I'm excited :))
Loved this review, “Why red fruits for Venice?” Everything you say, I want on a hoodie.
😂😂😂

I bought the London and Dubai, I found Dubai quite similar to MFK Grand Soir

wow those are my top threes too.

Hello do u have any idea how long these Zara fragrances last?
Love ur background wall, my favorite also Tokyo
:)
Am currently using jo malone line but from Jo malone’s line itself and quite intrigued to try zara
My faves are London and Dubai. London not surprisingly as I love rose and its kind of classic sensual rose. Dubai is nice wearable leather, soft and friendly.
i wanna try out the Tokyo one after seeing your review! Seoul sounds nice as well. I really like ebony wood from the previous collections.
My favorite is Fashionably London! Before I purchased I heard it was a dupe for Delina. I don’t necessarily agree though… this one tingles the nose more. But to be fair, I’ve never found a Delina dupe that comes close. Favorite Zara scent in general is Ebony Wood. Smells like a cardamom hug.
Alhambra makes a Deline dupe that's exact and it's $45.

Thank you so much!

Elegantly Tokyo is my fav🥰😍
Ordered the whole set from Zara for my 16 year old daughter for Christmas , arrived today. The packaging was pretty sad luckily no visible damage.
Oh good!!
Magnificently Dubai is amazing ❤❤ it’s unisex it’s masculine also
Great review! I was looking at those 2 days ago. I may have to pick some up.
Love your channel & your wisdom! I just ordered fashionably London, I might order the Dubai one
Thinking of the capitol city of Kyiv.
Thank you Sébastien.
Your preview intrigued me about the Venice one, so I'm now really looking forward to seeing your reaction to it!
What do you know, mine was last on deck. You knew I was waiting for it, didn't you! 😄

I really enjoy your channel. I especially appreciate how in depth your reviews are. Thx
More women’s fragrance reviews next year!! Stay tuned! 😀
Really appreciate this review!! I have London and I love it 😍
Sephora were selling jo loves i dont know if they still are but they did a deal in 2017 to sell her stuff in the usa
Hmm never saw them. Weird! :(

Thanks for a great review , I bought Dubai & NY .. I like Dubai and now you narrowed down a couple more I may grab .. Cheers Brutha
I bought that today. Online discount.
Me 2 my favorite is Elegant Tokiyo hello from Macedonia 🥂
My favorite is Shanghai, very refreshing 💥

Wow!! You must have like 2-3000 frags!! Great video!!
It's close to 4k! ;)
Would you possibly make review on Armaf fragrances please?
They seem amazing at an affordable cost,one of them is said to be a dupe of acqua universalis(or so i think from what i was told)
Bought the Jo LovexZara collection, love Dubai, Tokyo and New York the most! Not sure why the price was $169, now $149. Yes, love your background/set-up.
Oh cool re background oh bummer re $169?
It's still $169
Can you wear-test your favorites and tell us what you think? I suspect there are more notes than listed
Yes love to see your collection!!
Me too! So much better than a blank wall
Tomorrow it's back to a blank wall! Oh well. It's back and forth for a while! :)
@@ThePerfumeGuy kk :) btw, I posted a wiki link for Flat Iron Building, NYC + the Prado Museum, Madrid. The’re gone!?
I need your Paris review!
Magnificently Dubai is my fave - can’t get enough at the mo
I have 5 of the Jo Zara, smelled 10 of them. I use vetiver pample the most
Oh awesome!! :)
There could have been some DATES in the Dubai scent.
Great haul/first impressions video and I enjoyed it and can you do full reviews when you test them out and have a blessed night
My box was also damaged and the label was off. Luckily I was able to just stick it back on. Also no cute post card. Such a shame. I wasn’t impressed with the stunningly Venice one I ordered. Too light, no projection.
We enjoy all the videos you post regardless of the background but this one is beautiful 🥰
Oh thank you!
This sounds appealing to me as a Jo Malone fragrance fan. Is there a link to the collection? Am I just not seeing it? Thanks in advance
It is a great looking background.
Is the berries fragrance too sweet? i like berries but not overly sweet because i get a headache
Do you think that Venice is a dupe for Rouge Trafalgar and Shanghai a dupe for Orange Bitters ?
Do you think creatively Shanghai smells anywhere near Acqua Allegoria Mandarin basil?
I can’t remember I’ll have to resniff it. 😀
Is the Elegantly Tokyo unisex
I have to revisit it!! :)
Yes, if you like jasmine!
Very feminine but you can layer with santal or other woody fresh scent
My fav from this line is Boldly Seoul and Newyork. I also like Tuberuse Noir from their previous collection ... thank u for ur review 😍
My first video of this channel but loving this!
Welcome!!
Whole perfume collection please, you can separate into different parts
Fantastic video very interesting
Tried tokyo i dont know what to buy as favorite. Iam btw tokyo london or venice. And also i still use from zara rain collection rose rop petals and white flower posy, wow perfumes.
I love Elegantly Tokyo my favorite one
Great!!
got to get my nose on Tokyo. my favorite Zara+Malone one is Vetiver Pamplemousse.
Did you try desert collection ?
I haven’t yet! Is it good?
Elegantly Tokyo scent is likened to Alien perfume is it true? 💕
Maybe light hints perhaps!!
These all sound pretty darned average. I guess for the price, who cares, but I think I will skip. Loved your reviews. Very helpful, as always
Which fragrance smells similar to Avon's Haiku? I cant get Haiku in the UK.
Yes it's great seeing your collection it will suprise me just to see how large it is 🙂 great video 😄
Wow I was way off the mark on your Facebook post regarding these fragrances 😆 I guessed new york which was a doozy lol. Clearly not a "creamy" sandalwood, but rather the dry santal. Oopsie!
But, are you slightly underwhelmed by the collection?
Are these unisex or for women only?
And it looks like Creatively Shanghai Orange dark chocolate?💎
I haven't tested for a while will see! :)
@@ThePerfumeGuy Waiting for your reply after the test is submitted,thanks 😄🙃
I did order Fashionable London. Lets see 🌸
Like I said we're not breaking any new ground but several are definitely pleasant! :)
The one I liked the best is NY. Also Paris, Tokio, I also bought Shanghai..I didn't like madrid amd Dubai
I was so disappointed by warm rich and addictive by Zara that I don’t even want to try them.
Everyone seemed so enjoying it, but I found it plain and alcoholic for a warm fragrance. With this collection I feel it would be -again- an irritant alcoholic kind of smell.
And I don’t feel your usual enthusiasm while reviewing them. What are your thoughts on that ?
Thanks for the review
This collection is a steal. Got the 10ml first and ended up buying the 100ml of 6 of them. I wish they lasted a bit longer.
Pair it w the lotions.
The 2 that sound the most interesting to me is Shanghai and Dubai.
Is dubai okay for men?
Yes of course!!
@@ThePerfumeGuy thanks!! I’ll order it for my dad then😊
It's a leather so very masculine! :)
Dubai, Alfeti from Penhaligons !!!
So, what about Paris?
Paris wasn't out when I purchased the kit and I do not have it sadly! :(
I actually thought Dubai would be the winner Im definetly getting Tokyo and London

Can you do a review on The fragrances by The Merchant of Venice? Please. ..
Thank you 💖
Venice, Madrid and Seoul… ❤️
Your collection is Impressive!!!
Glad you think so!
Sounds like a terrific collection. I want to try Japan. Also Venice😍

Frustrating how so many of these already seem to be taken off the zara website
Zara is the worst. They drop fragz and disappear right away. Sometime I don't even have enough time to get them because they sell out! :(
Try eBay
