by Zara
Man Uomo by Zara is a budget-friendly fragrance that closely mimics the DNA of Paco Rabanne One Million, particularly in its warm, spicy, and sweet profile. It opens with bright citrus and peppery notes, leading into a rich heart of cinnamon, nutmeg, and cardamom that gives it a fuller, slightly rounder character than the original. The dry down features a woody, ambery base with subtle vanilla and floral hints, creating a surprisingly cohesive and masculine scent. Despite its similarities to One Million, its performance is notably weaker—longevity is moderate at best, lasting up to 6 hours on skin and fading quickly on fabric, and sillage remains intimate to moderate. Many users find it suitable for daily wear, especially in cooler seasons, during evening hours, and in professional settings due to its lack of aggression. It's praised as a cost-effective alternative that won’t draw attention or offend others, making it ideal for those who want the vibe of One Million without the price tag.
