Vibrant Leather Epice

This is a great scent, smells like cartier déclaration parfum mixed with the original vibrant leather with an average performance. Wirth a try.

This exactly smells like the popular shower gels which are labeled "for man". After a good bath spritz of this will refresh your out of shower feeling, even if it is not a very original smell it does its job.

Tried on in store- seems like a clone of Cartier Declaration Parfum. I can't comment on longevity and projection etc. But this one seems okay if you're looking for this kind of scent. Cardamon and leather with powdery nuances. It seems the Vibrant Leather flankers are clones of much loved perfumes in the fragrance community as is the original Vibrant Leather which is a clone of another much loved fragrance. I also managed to try Vibrant Leather Boise which is a clone of Black Afgano IMO.

All VL (with 2-3 exceptions) dry down to a similar base, but feature different top or middle notes. From the new VL line this one is the most interesting to me, then it’s Boise (same drydown as epice, but softer and woodsy) and Warm (powdery with warm white musk - sexy and romantic). Epice doesn’t feel “rosy” to me at all. It’s like a spicy, warmer take on VL, but better in every way. Longevity and development are good - with an Aventus accord reference in there. VL Warm is very velvety, different drydown from the the rest of the VL line, great for daily wear, and a nice addition to your Zara purchase.

This is cardamom, nutmeg and rose drying down to the leather base of all the Vibrant Leather line. No excessive sweetness, if any. A solid offering, well suited for all occasions. It is a fall/winter scent in my view. The best of the line in my opinion (in second place, I would put its "summery" brother, Bergamot) and -from a strictly quality-price ratio- really worth buying.
