Vibrant Leather Bogoss

Finally pulled the trigger and got the 100ml bottle. Definitely one of my favorite Zara fragrance DNA's. I'd had my eyes on the regular Vibrant Leather for months and visited my local Zara to test VL + all its flankers, on multiple occasions. Initially, I was dead set on getting the original, since I wanted an Aventus clone. On top of that, Bogoss just smelled too sweet to me. But that was in winter, and then spring/summer came around, and my perception of this fragrance totally changed. It smells so good and it's such a happy scent. So while the regular VL might be more versatile, Bogoss just smells better IMO. Usually Zara oversimplifies the notes on the packaging, but in this case they're pretty damn accurate: A lovely, happy pineapple topnote with a twist of lemon + a great leather/wood drydown to give it some body and "seriousness". It's basically a tropical summer day in a bottle. Performance is good, for a Zara fragrance. Not weak, but definitely not a beast either. The leather/wood drydown can be picked up 12+ hours after spraying. The pineapple/lemon note only lasts an hour or two I'd say. Projection/sillage are kinda weak but it has great longevity on skin. It's not MEGA cheap, but for a 100ml with a good atomizer and a magnetic cap, I'd say it's a fair price. Overall: 8,5/10. Great summer scent. EDIT: Tried overspraying HEAVILY last night to see if it would amp up the performance, but strangely it didn't. I'd recommend somewhere between 6 to 10 sprays, but no more.

This is Super Juicy Sweet Pineapple Heaven! Aventus fanboys & fan girls who want a dense and Ripe juicy sweet pineapple topping on Aventus dna Vibrant Leather should just grab a bottle. It somehow opens better than Qaed Al Fursan Lattafa and Now RAVE which I have/had. That said, Begoss Vibrant leather comes in a blue Zara house VL bottle with a magnetic cap. Gets sold in standard black soft cardboard box and hard large LE boxes. I bought the large hard cardboard box with the picture of a blue stone in front, batch 41200. I think Begoss VL is worth the value alone for the blast of lovely juicy pineapple in the opening alone, doesn't matter if it's really lasting or not because the og VL is pretty known for its poor performance. All you need to do is to put in 15-25 sprays and you will fly, become a pineapple 🍍 head for the next hour or two. Really lovely juice. Makes the og VL a n00b... I have heard that this Begoss VL is already pretty popular and well I think most are not wrong. I like Begoss VL more than og VL mainly for the performance. But of course if you don't like it sweet and prefer the usual higher Aventus quality than there's absolutely no need for you to try this since there are many many more expensive Aventus dna niches out there to go for. For now, I'll enjoy and soak myself in pineapple juice till I try the next Zara VL explosion which I already bought, that's gonna be another massive compliments getter.

Imagine freshly squeezed lemon and grapefruit juice poured over a pineapple popsicle, so juicy, refreshing, and mouthwatering on a hot summer day. That’s exactly what this smells like in a bottle. I honestly just want to open it up and drink it, it smells that delicious. I don’t get any leather notes from this at all. It does remind me of Qaed Al Fursan, but it’s not a one-to-one match. They start off similar but part ways soon after. QAF obviously has that Middle Eastern twang with a kind of licorice-ish note. Longevity and performance aren’t amazing, though. I’d say it lasts about 4 to 5 hours on clothes, but you have to be pretty close to catch a whiff. On skin, maybe an hour tops. But that’s fine with me since I usually spray it on my shirt anyway, so it doesn’t really bother me. I think this works for any age and is perfect for hot summer days, especially if you’re heading to the beach or out on vacation. Just spray it 8 to 10 times all over your shirt before you leave the hotel to grab food or hit the boardwalk. This is the ultimate beach vacation fragrance. I already know what I’m bringing on my next trip to Hawaii. 8/10

Very nice cologne. Smells youthful, sort of ck escape/invictus bubblegum scent, like fresh plastic, a little like Seoul/zara blue and also man gold, slight pineapple, but more like something fresh, plastic, or new tee-shirt perhaps. almost like the odor inside zara stores. Returning to this review, 2 years later, I dont wear this often because I have about 100 other colognes, 30 or so I especially enjoy, and 5-10 i always go for. But when I use this, every few weeks or so, I love it. So far its my favorite Zara scent. The old ones, Seoul, Blue, For Him, Man Gold & Silver - theyre all good. The leather ones are okay, and Fire and Earth are also very good, best of the new ones after this one. Sweet, unique odor. Trendy, youthful, good to wear when dressed well and out and about during the daytime.

I got this randomly at a Zara store in Kosovo while I was waiting in line to pay for my clothes. The packaging looked so appealing and the pineapple smell right after I sprayed it on my hand was extremely attractive. On my way home, the scent kept getting better and better! I was so happy for buying this perfume without overthinking it. It smells way more expensive than it really is. I'd describe it as D&G Light Blue (for women) with an extra touch of pineapple, which gives the scent that tropical vibe. It's not a typical masculine perfume, but it's neither feminine. This perfume represents a modern, open minded, charismatic, happy young man. Longevity is good, I wish it had a better sillage. Overall, the perfume is worth adding to your collection. Especially if you're into fruity perfumes. 🍍🍋
