LTH/01 STILL L.E.A.T.H.E.R.

Great stuff, better than LTH 02 and 03 from this line. I don't own Ombre Leather or Tuscan Leather so this regular review as a standalone fragrance. As usual with Zara fragrances, sprayed in store when passing by and went home, wasn't expecting much. Really liked it so went back next day and bought a bottle. Opening is pure, clean vibrant leather, sweet and crisp. After about 30 minutes the leather softens and becomes more balanced with the other notes. I'd describe the dry down as fruity, sweet, lightly floral, soft leather. It's a leather fragrance but it's quite fresh, invigorating, almost like a "freshie" taking itself very seriously. The big question with any Zara fragrance, does it actually last long enough to be worth buying....? For me, yes! Fresh bottle, just unboxed, sprayed 3 sprays on my arm in same spot, I'm getting wafts of it 6 hours later, which is good enough performance for me and better than a lot of other Zara fragrances. For me this is perfect way to get into leather fragrances. I'd never spend $250+ on a leather fragrance because it's not something I'll wear too often, very happy Zara have this offering for a great price with enough performance to make it worth while.

Sweet leathery woody profile. Notes should be Saffron and violet leaf at the opening with Jasmine, Raspberry and Incense as heart notes. The dry down notes are Amber, Leather and Musk. Quite a simple familiar dna for those who knows. Smells similar to most leather dominant frags with the semi sweet Raspberry. Yes, LTH/01 STILL L.E.A.T.H.E.R. Zara is an inexpensive alternative to Tom Ford Tuscan Leather, Parfum de marly Godolphin, Rasasi La yuqawam. Got it for cheap at Singapore Zara for $29.90 SGD. It's the best of the 3 in the range, I've tested 02 and 03 and didn't quite like them. Opens somewhat synthetic but the Raspberry note is clearly there at the start so don't be mistaken that it's a TFOL dupe, it isn't, doesn't mean there's leather everything is a OL dupe. Decent longevity 3-6 hours depending on climate and conditions. Hope the performance gets better with some sitting and maturing. Priced Similarly alongside similar alternatives such as Tuscano leather by Maison Alhambra and other ME copies. Good play by Zara to try capture a saturated market for this dna profile with another inexpensive alternative.

Official notes : Saffron, violet leaves, jasmine, raspberry, incense, leather, amber & musk. Stunning clone of TF Tuscan Leather, hats off! Zara has launched a few very decent clones lately ( Zara Somewoody, a very good clone of Xerjoff - Alexandria ), and Still Leather is the next one. The moment you spray it you get that fruity leather combo as in TF Tuscan leather (smoother leather compared to TF Tuscan Leather). After 5 mins the raspberry has an ozonic twist ( violet leaves) , but even after the opening the scent is very close to Tuscan Leather, in the air you can hardly tell them apart. I would recommend buying "Still Leather" if you love Tuscan Leather, and buy it before it get axed by Zara. I get 5h longevity with good projection.

Much better clone of Tuscan Leather than La Yuqawam, it doesn’t have that gasoline feel that LY has. Sprayed Tuscan Leather and this; side by side they are like 95% identical, I like this more than Tuscan Leather tbf as the dry down is more “airy” than TL, kinda like Black Saffron. Serious bang for the buck, well-blended too. I get 7h longevity with moderate sillage. Would say it’s unisex, my girlfriend wore it and I got that Black Saffron vibe when she wore. This is a no-brainer!!!

What a pleasant smell. Leather is soft, like "velvety", and surrounded by a slightly acidic and juicy raspberry that makes me want to smell myself all the time. There's more to it, like a soft and warm smokey/incense vibe with some flowers. I'd say it has a violet similar to Farehnheit, but it does not feel as dense as that one. For all occasions during the colder months. It feels it wont last much, but for 15€, what a nice release.
