Gourmand Leather 2019

It's VERY good imo! Performance is on par or even slightly better than current Ultra male as far as longevity and a little quieter on projection which I actually appreciate. It still projects more than enough but it is not quite as loud. Scent - Fantastic, basically go look at reviews of JPG UM and all of the situations for that apply to this. I will admit the opening is not as full and fruity as JPG but 10 minutes in you will be hard pressed to find a difference between these two. IT really is that good. I have been testing this for a week or two now, I had it on a sweatshirt and it was noticeable 48+ hrs later. On skin it obviously is no where near that, projects very well for somewhere between 2-4 hours and skin scent will linger for 12+ 9/10 for me, I'm so happy I purchased this at the pricepoint. Note - I got the bundle pack with Rich Leather for 29.90 Worth picking up the combo pack for Rich Leather, it's a lighter fruitier Aventus-esque fragrance that is also good. Not as good as Gourmand Leather though. Either way, enjoy your $15-20 Ultra Male!

I have tried this many times in store, but I finally found it for buying (this sells very fast here in Bucharest) Even though it's a little darker and has less projection than JPG UltraMale, I find it very hard to pull off outside of a party/club scenario. But, I think I will wear this on a night out as long as it's not too hot outside. As I see it - this is heavy on the tonka with a synthetic sweetness, but very, very pleasant and a balsamic note to go with it. As far as performance goes, I get extra good longevity from this, but with good projection only in the first hour, then it seats closer and closer to the skin. For the low price this comes at, it's a great buy if you like sweet-aromatic fragrances

I have barely tried the original Le Male and Ultra Male but I definitely sensed something familiar to Gourmand Leather (I wouldn't know how close they are but the similarity is evident). I really like this fragrance, I'm very satisfied with the longevity and silage (even though people report Zara has progressively "worsened" the performance through its iterations). Needless to say, this is intended as a sweet clubbing fragrance but I get some mint as well so I also wear it in the day and even in warmer days. Also I've found myself layering over this one in summer, it's usually 2 sprays of Gourmand Leather and then 4 sprays of a fresh citrus fragrance over it.

Sweet fragrance. I most certainly don't see people above 30 wearing this one. I can't comment on whether this is a clone or not as I haven't tried JPG Ultra Male at the time of writing this review. I think it smells sweet, almost like a perfume candy. Although I love the smell, I can only see this as a teenager - young adult group fragrance. It's more feminine than I would like to admit to be honest. Yet, it still beats so many fragrances in my perfume collection. I would say it's a really great scent for the price, but I still haven't figured out a use case scenario for this one! maybe if you went out to babysit or interact with younger kids? who knows.

I finally found a bottle of the 2019 version and i can easily say that this is better than the 2022 version. The 2022 version has an extremely overwhelming and prominent iris note, it's almost nauseating basically. Here, in the 2019 version, you get a perfect balanced iris with a fruity undertone, literally better in any way The 2022 version it's basically a mixture between L'Homme Parfum Intense and Ultra Male, the 2019 version is instead a lot more closer to Ultra Male but still, it doesn't reach Afnan 9pm which is still the best alternative to Ultra Male. Performances are the same on both version by the way. 9/10

absolute best zara fragrance you can pick up. imo the 2019 blend doesn't differ that much from the 2022 blend. either way, amazing value for decent to slightly above average sillage and an amazing iris-y, fresh fragrance that can still be worn in winter. in my experience, it radiates significantly better when it's on clothes. however, if you want to wear it on your skin, just put on some moisturizer beforehand. the bergamot and iris are much more prominent. i'd actually say there's little to no leather. doesn't change the fact that it's one of the best fragrances in my collection. definitely worth a try.

Gave it a few sprays before going out to meet friends, and couldn't smell it after a while, didn't think anything more. Was having a drink and some eats at one of the local drinking establishments, when the waitress who served us came up to us and said she would stand close to us while waiting for customers as I smelled so nice. She even asked me what I was wearing. I really like the iris on this and unlike alot of Zaras this lasts, although you may not notice, others will. For me a nighttime cool weather scent, bought the twin pack with rich leather, this one winner.

I was very curious about this juice i bought it yesterday and i tried today at a very cold day and i just want to say that this zara fragance is awesome the smell is lovely at the beginning you get a very sweet iris with leather which is very enjoyable then becomes in my opinion more darker the dry down im blown away you want to keep smelling this all night long so in my opinion works perfectly in a cold day and in the night if want to go party this will do perfectly and for the price is great just 2 words , GREAT FRAGRANCE

A nice sweet, warm, and spicy opening. Gourmand-ish dry-down. Smells just like JPG Ultra Male except less pear (if any at all) and less of the OG Le Male DNA like mint and lavender notes. Performance is just as good if not better than Ultra Male. They both get a bit too nauseatingly sweet in the dry down for me, especially since this projects like crazy! For the price if you like Ultra Male but not sure if you want to pull the trigger on a FB, definitely give this a try

Gourmand Leather is a re-release as is common with ZARA. Obviously inspired by JPG Ultra Male, this is not a direct replacement but rather a less 'sticky' version with hints of dry tobacco smoke, not far off from ZARA Intense Dark Exclusive. If you find Ultra Male too sweet, you should like this one. Price to performance ratio is spot on.

Not too appealing close up, but the iris and the quality of this long-lasting leather at this price make this a no-brainer. Notes only found in higher end manly and classy fragrances can be found in this. The leather and iris can even be used for layering with another fragrance, as base or shadow notes!!!

This is back, in the more simple bottle with a glossy plastic cap and around 15% price increase. Amazing juice definitely! It reminds me of 9.0 by Zara but Iris is not as prominent and this simply smells better and more refined. A steal for the price and one of Zara's best releases!

This is really close to Ultra Male. From the first spray you can detect the specific "pear" accord, altough pear isnt listed as a note. Dry down is powdery with a slight sugary pear accord. Really nice, warm and cozy scent. Longevity could be better.

Batch 30.08.2022. bought yesterday. sprayed it at 11am, my wife asked me when she came home from work at 6pm, what perfume it is... the perfume was very strong until I showered around 11pm. TOO SATISFIED

Man this is something else not a %100 copy of a ultra male this is way more deep, dark, manly but lack of fruity notes this thing had no pear but ı love much more this parfume then JPG ultra male.

Smells like JPG Ultra Male, performance wise - it's better than current UM releases. Tested on my skin and clothes. I like Ultra Male more, but GM is cheap as chips. Buy it.

very sweet one, openning a little synthetic, smells very similar to jean paul gaultier ultra male but without the top pear note and without the creamy smell.

Similar to JPG Ultramale and Gourmand leather 2017, the pear sweet note is toned down a bit. Good performance too 👍

Amazing stuff, lasts for HOURS!

This perfume is alike Ultra Male indeed :) On clothes stays and projects strong and long time, on my skin not that great. I like the smell, it's sweet pear, I can't feel any leather. It's more for the evening time and colder month, because it is really sweet and thick, Ultra Male was lighter and easier to wear for me. I had Ultra Male too, but now already it costs too much, Zara Gourmand Leather is better option.
