Vibrant Leather Explosion

Vibrant Leather Explosion is Strong and Loud enough for the bold wearers who wants to pronounce themselves to everyone. After all it's 'The Elegant and Personality of Vibrant Leather and Red Zara Temptation', a Hybrid mix of Zara's 2 most popular sellers. The initial opening has a heavier % of Vibrant Leather opening because the Aventus dna and wannable Pineapple bergamot is more pronounced. After an hour or so the sweet cotton candy of Red Zara Temptation' becomes quite prominent and made me feel that the % mix of each of VL or RZT seems quite even. At least 40/60 to 50/50 hybrid. I definitely prefer the Opening hour on skin. Too much of the Br540 in the mix I don't really like. That said I might prefer just a support dna from the saffron of br540 instead of a prominent cotton sweet candy over a weaker Aventus dna. Because it becomes pretty much sweeter as the scent develops. Was pretty impressive at the beginning opening but less impressed as it gets sweeter. For those wondering how the bamboo note comes, err my nose don't get the bamboo. Also don't get the violet leaf...all I get is br540 wannabe sweet cotton candy. As of 2-3 hour into the scent development now, nor do I get the amberguis black amber nor patchouli but I hope it will become less sweet as the scent develops to full drydown. However those who like br540 dna will love this I feel, unless you don't like a artificial pineapple smell mixing with your favorite br540. It's at least above average to 8 hours of longevity I see here. Pretty good. But this bottle cost $49.90 Singapore Dollars because it's newly released from Zara. Good for Red Temptation and BR540 fanboys and fan girls who want something different. VL and Aventus fanboys and girls I suggest testing and letting the scent develops over 2 hours before you decide if you want it. That said I think I have enough of these 2 dna for these past week and shall try other wannable dna from Zara in the coming week.

A colleague wore this at work, it was loud, projecting, performing for hours without being offensive. Being familiar with both Aventus, and BR540 i couldn't imagine this was inspired by them just smelling at his trail in the room. Once he told me what the scent was, and after smelling it upclose i get what people are saying. Bought it in Spain for 22€ and couldn't be happier. Compliments for days, and as it doesn't smell like Aventus dupe in the air, i believe this was best 22 spent ever.

Para mí la mejor Vibrant Leather. Se parece mucho a la original aunque dura más. Si que recuerda a RED FOR HIM, al tener un fondo dulce que recuerda al algodón de azúcar. Aunque dura bastante no es ninguna locura. También hay que decir que siendo versátil la original es mucho más versátil, esta al tener notas dulces la veo más para situaciones algo más especiales.

I have 6 fragrances that were inspired by Aventus. This one is a sweeter take on Aventus/Vibrant Leather. This smells phenomenal and I just cannot get enough of the Aventus DNA. From the opening to the dry down there's this sweet cotton candy smell that's also in BR540. This smell, paired with the juicy aventus DNA is just so good.

I know a lot of people think the br vibe is played out, but if not for you 'and me " I love this, long lasting for a Zara, and the hint of vib leather make it even better, love it for bed time, two bottles for me .

Great Zara scent , when you mix two most popular fragrances Aventus and BR540 you get an Explosion. Leans slightly to Nishane Hacivat. Longetivity Is very good for Zara, first two hours good projection.

Sweeter less "animalic" Afnan SNOI. In my top 3 Zara fragrances, very very good, great projection and longevity.

Probably my favourite Vibrant Leather, as its not as sharp as the original. Strawberry Vibrant Leather shake

I tried this yesterday and for a Zara scent its got some good longevity and projects for a few hours as well. At the top it is more reminiscent of Nishane Hacivat or even close to Afnans Supremacy "not only intense" and then br540 is present in the background of the scent giving it the sweet vibes. The blend is very well done and although it is an elegant fragrance it is versatile for any occasion and every day use. Nice one.

My first fragrance that i bought for myself. I have a love-hate relationship with this one, i love the cotton candy twist on that aventus dna but i have a hard time getting over that weird black pepper which is a note i usually like. Overall though its still my favorite summer fragrance

Supremacy NOI with bamboo and cotton candy. Supremacy NOI'nin bambulu ve karamelimsi hali. Scent: 6.5/10 Longevity: 7/10 Projection: 6.5/10 Versatility: 8.5/10

Extremely sweet, almost sickly/cloying - the cotton candy cuts through too heavily. There is something pleasant about it though, it reminds me of the juicy top notes of Afnan SNOI, but it lacks depth, feels quite feminine, and could do with some moss or smoke. I won't be wearing this.

Aventus dna with some cotton candy. Kinda wierd but ok fragnance

On first spray I liked it because it smelled different from the rest on the Zara shelf, but on a few more sprays I found that the vibrant leather DNA I really do not like and I find this a bit too sweet also. Not for me.

Sorry. This is no good. Smells like a roadside rest stop bathroom. Super potent and like a men’s bathroom. Do not blind buy.

This is a manly (verly slight marine nuance?) sparkly (effervescent) citrus scent with a mostly detectable black amber base. It's well balanced and the bitterness of the green in the bamboo go well to keep the citrus longevity. It's sweet at first, but that goes after an hour or so - I don't really pick up the cotton candy. The violet leaf is subtle and the patchouli is well pinned in there. Could be worn day or night. Could replace Aqua Di Gio Profondo, and any Valentino, and Davidoff Hot Water. Nice that it beings in the Fahrenheit nuance of violet leaf to remind us how good Fahrenheit was, and is.

Smelled it this week in a Zara store. It really is a mix of the classic Vibrant Leather DNA and a Zara take on BR540 like Red Temptation or Red for Him. To my nose it leans heavily in the direction of Vibrant leather. I'd say like 75% VL and 25% "red". I smell the "red" part mostly in the background and more distinctly as it dries down. A good release and it seems fairly strong after my brief test.

A nice release for this who like aventus It’s similar to original Zara vibrant leather but more woody and less juicy , A part from the ordinary vibrant leather this one have better longevity.

Get the new vibrant leather extreme version, it is a winter version of this one with more leather and spices, less citrus and cotton candy with a lot better performance.

This is like the plastic version of red for him. It's nice but I prefer red for him.

Similar also to Black Xs. I can smell a similar straberry note on top 😍
