This indeed is similar to Bvlgari Aqva (the salty sea note) but also similar to Dior Sauvage.
I have a sample of Sauvage’s edp and it is just a tad brighter than Waimea with better projection and it lasts really long on my skin. Sauvage however lacks the aquatic (to some a slight dirty) note and differs from the Waimea in the dry-down where the amber takes a front seat. The Waimea lets the vetiver taking control.
But other than that the smell overall is pretty similar, it mainly differs in the brightness and projection: Sauvage smells like a fresh shower gel for hours, Waimea sticks more to the skin, and smells more ‘natural’ fresh like the Bvlgari Aqva.
Since I don’t care that much about strong projection my preference obviously leans to the Waimea. I haven’t figured out yet if I like Waimea better than Bvlagari Aqva as well, since I don’t own a bottle right now.

a strong like for me. smells lush and summery. great initial projection. poor longevity. all around a solid summer offering by Zara.

This smells nothing like Eros/Dylant/Sauvage. The vetiver note is very noticeable in this fragrance, it has an earthy, wet soil smell, like Malizia Uomo and other vetiver fragrances but MUCH more natural and fresh, since it also has sea notes and some citrus. Smells like a rainy day in summer by the sea. You can consider this a Bvlgari Aqva flanker, it has that “citrusy aquatic nastiness” dna
Edit: I have now had this fragrance for some time and i’ve really fallen in love with it. It is a beautiful and very unique scent, it has citrus and vetiver sitting on top of beautiful sea notes. You can wear this anywhere really, but this really has a very PROFESSIONAL vibe to it, it’s not very playful yet not too moody. It comes with a huge downside, which is performance. This thing is merely a cologne and doesn’t last much, but for those 1-2 hours it projects nice and smells fantastic!
Last edit: Just wanted to add that the people’s reactions to this has been horrible, basically everyone has told me it smells terrible. Also the performance is non-existent, 10-20 minutes of projections and 1-2 hours of longevity. I still like the scent, it’s very professional, but definitely not a people pleaser

To me this smells like an eros/sauvage mashup, which makes it better than the two smell-wise. It goes really strong in the first two hours, my gf was able to smell it before opening the apartment’s door!! She gave me like three strong compliments that night, so yeah get your hands and nose on this new bomb

Something about this was very interesting to me, it’s longevity and performance is poor but it smells so, airy, fresh, clean and a little mossy just a little smells a lot better than erros and nothing like it as some mentioned above. It’s like one of those rainy summer days with a cool breeze, it smells just like the bottle looks fresh but sort of damp. I like it it’s comforting.

The more I smell it, the more I like it! Definitely a clubbing fragrance for me – strong mint + vanilla combo. For me, the perfume pyramid is completely misleading.
I don’t know why Eros leaves a very strong synthetic tonka note on my skin – this doesn’t! For me it is a mix between Eros, AHSEE and probably a little bit of Le Male.
Only to be used for compliments, when you’re on a juvenile player mode. I think I’ll buy and test to see if this is in fact a compliment getter, though I’m most certain it will.
Edit: I erased my ‘Dylan Eros’ comment, but it’s true. It has hints of patchouli in the far drydown – the best part of dylan blue if you ask me.
I don’t intend to say this is a masterpiece, or it is THE BEST summer fragrance I’ve smelt. Yes, this smells very synthetic but it works. I liked all of its stages and find it more wearable than Eros for the spring time.

Versace Eros without the sweet opening. Just probably on the same league. Aquatic Fresh, not as offensive as Eros. Definitely gonna be fine for an office fragrance.

smells like a more breezy versace eros minus the strong toothpaste mint dry down.
