About this deal

All of this combined, yes, you are reminded of Aventus, but in a more watered-down reinterpretation. The fragrance itself wears more like a light Eau de Toilette, rather than Eau de Parfum. I love the heavy, transparent, well-proportioned glass flacon. And the blue suction tube as a functional eye-catcher seems to me to be exemplary modern: Here, Renzo Piano & Richard Rogers have convincingly transferred the Centre Pompidou principle, which emphasises the functional tube, into the world of flacons. The solid plastic cap only slightly clouds this excellent external appearance. On the other hand, I can imagine only too well that this fragrance is quite capable of animating the wearer to deal with the "original". Especially when the environment speaks to you about it and possibly adds an insinuation: "Man, the Dior Homme Cologne suits you but particularly well. Fits you."

There has been more than one occasion my brother wore Vibrant Leather, and at least for the good 4 hours, I could clearly detect this pleasant aroma surrounding him. PRO TIP: milder temperatures and windy days work like cham on the sillage and longevity. First thing first, this is not a Vibrant Leather flanker, yet a new edition of From Paris to New York. I'd like to express my real impression of this brand new Zara's release. Albeit the name and the box look different, the smell and the description on the box are the very same. The opening is strongly citrus and closely akin to Zara Blue Hole, as many reviewers stated, yet they take separate ways as soon as the heart starts beating and the dry down approaches. Definitely, BH has a clear heart floral note, bright jasmine that turns to an earthy and woody accord akin to patchouli and cedar, it reminds me of CD Homme Sport 2008 to be exact, instead, VL Cologne is more seasoned, the ginger is hot and chilly in the heart, and it turns into a neat musk, this one evoking me of CD Homme Cologne 2013. Since I own both Zara's and CD's fellows, I had an opportunity to study all of them side by side on my skin, they all smell quite apart as both CD Homme Sport and Homme Cologne do. Oftentimes, people are too hasty, they quit and conclude on the first impression, but scents are alive and take their time to develop and reveal their heart and base. Zara’s official blurb: “Vibrant Leather is a perfect balance between the peace & romantic side of woody notes and the vitality & the intense of leather. But now for the first spoils of my affair with the dashing floozy Zara. Vibrant Leather Cologne is a bright, refreshing summer water, which has already been praised by others and compared to famous siblings. Jérôme Epinette designed a modern, slightly sweet tangerine-ginger cologne, but with a lot of persistence. I had this perfume a couple of times now, and with other perfumes in the same genre I currently own, I still get pleasantly surprised with Zara’s take.What made this release different from others in the Aventus clone genre such as Montblanc Explorer and Armaf Club de Nuit Intense Man was the fact it was the first one that’s widely available around the world. What are your thoughts about Zara Vibrant Leather Eau de Parfum ? Have you tried it? Do you like it?Let’s start a conversation and let me know in the comment section below. The name 'Vibrant Leather' seems rather absurd and misleading, as there is no leather or at most only a minimal base, which has a soft, cedar-like scent in addition to the permanently pleasant, fragrant mandarins and could possibly be mixed with a hint of musk and vetiver. The leather that the name refers to is more likely to be the wearer's pelt, which may start to vibrate a little in the face of such welcome refreshment.

I told you both were true. That is, there is truly something sacrilegious about this fragrance, but at the same time something very beneficial. Because on the one hand it is the copy of something, the imitation, the imitation. On the other hand, it is so well done that presumably even trained noses would be hard pressed to detect significant differences in a blind test. But if we disregard the sacrifices in durability and sillage that inevitably come with a Zara scent, this is extremely good, both fragrance-wise and dupe-wise. And at the price, one can own gladly also times two or three bottles and deposit them everywhere, where a Nachsprühen could come into question. Vibrant Leather is one of those versatile and modern fragrances that fit into any scenario and season. No complaints here, but I would avoid the extreme heat and cold since the composition is fresh and wears light. As for the official notes, they get you an idea of what the fragrance should smell like, but don’t tell the real story. The scent opens up a zesty combination of bergamot, lemon, and sweet lime. It is obvious that Zara’s brief with Jerome Epinette was to create a cheap alternative for Creed’s Aventus that smells decent, and that there is no real “ passion” behind this, as we frag-heads like to say. I like the simple and elegant presentation of Vibrant Leather and the fact that the cap is magnetic. A practice that every fashion and perfume brand should have implemented long before 2018.They build, they brew & churn out cheap and occasionally pretty good fragrances for the fashion company Zara! The performance is acceptable, considering what you are getting for such a low price. Zara also offers official 20ml decants which you can carry to respray if needed. While not intimate, the projection is on the lower side, and the scent is detectable for a good 4 – 6 hours. It is probably obvious that Zara has ventured here very close to Dior Homme Cologne. Maybe even so close that it's just legal. I can very well imagine that Demachy and Epinette are smirking about it, but that the Parisian fashion house Dior has very well considered taking legal action against it. But let's put the conjecture aside. In case you are in doubt whether you should consider buying this fragrance or not, it’s always good to take a look at Scent Grail’s S.P.A. Signature Factor Guide. Let’s be straight. A perfumer of his caliber must have known about Creed Aventus by the time 2018 rolled on, and Zara, one of the biggest fashion brands in the world has the money to employ anyone.
