Night Pour Homme V by Zara is a sweet, gourmand fragrance heavily inspired by Baccarat Rouge 540, with a distinctive cotton-candy and medicinal quality. It opens with a bright, slightly mentholated amber, reminiscent of red fruit candy or burnt sugar, and develops into a dense, resinous, woody-sweet base dominated by amber, musk, and a subtle balsamic depth. Despite most reports agreeing that it lacks the explosive projection of niche perfumes, longevity is notably strong—many describe it lingering on the skin for 12 hours or more, even after showering. The scent is unisex in character, with a soft, seductive glow that makes it ideal for evening wear. It’s most commonly worn during autumn or night-time, and its sweet, linear profile appeals strongly to fans of BR540, though some find it borderline overwhelming or headache-inducing due to its intense sweetness and medicinal undertones.
