So, a month or so ago, I blindly bought the Scent Nº 03 Tailored Blazer from the Zara site. I haven't heard a lot about it, not a lot of noise about the collection as a whole, to be honest, at least in the spaces I frequent. But this one here has been going around as an alternative to You by Glossier.

I'm not extremely familiar with You, tbh, I’ve smelled it on others and I sampled it once from a girl at my uni who had it, and that’s about it. That said, I think I enjoy this one more than You. I’m not sure it’s actually that similar as a dupe normally is, at least on my skin. I could see it being a greener, more unisex flanker of the You collection than a clone for the OG You.

There is that same pencil shaving note on both of them, but this one is more citrusy and aromatic than You and not ambery or powdery enough, from what I remember. Even when the bergamot starts to settle, and the musk takes over, that green, aromatic quality is still there, just not as fresh. It becomes more musky and dry, even though still aromatic and fresh. I don't know how else to explain it. It just has a dry feeling from that pencil-shaving note, and even though it's more musky, it's still fairly aromatic.

It’s very unisex, very clean, and a very everyday, safe smell. It didn’t exactly blow my mind, but it has something... I don't know. I really like it, and I can see it being a go-to for warmer weather. I haven't smelled the rest of the collection, but this one definitely has a 90s feel. I can’t quite pinpoint why, but the scent evokes a very minimal, clean working girl that wears a blazer over a slip dress and sneakers, boots or oxfords, 90s vibe.

It's a skin scent, btw. The perfume lasts about 4-5 hours on skin, and the sillage isn't anything to write home about, but it's there. After about 2 hours, personally, I become blind to the smell, but the boyfriend comments on it, so it's still there. And it definitely is there on the clothes even the next day, but only if you smell them closely.

It's in the same realm as Fleur de Peau and Glossier You as a smell, and it's one of the most unisex smells of this nature. If someone enjoys this type of perfume and wants skin scents and similar products that don't overwhelm, you'll probably like this one.

Have you tried it or any of the other scents of the collection?
