Vibrant Leather for Her 2021

Description in short: This is the scent of a sophisticated woman. Long description: Wow! Just wow! MAJOR WOW! This fragrance embodies the wow factor. The level of sophistication here is SUPERB. Zara has been outdoing itself ever since Jo Malone started collaborating with their fragrance making process - and I hope they never separate- they're like a marriage made in heaven and need to continue doing their magic. The leather here is so soft, so perfect for a woman. This could easily be a unisex perfume, as either a man or a woman can pull it off, but for a woman it's just special. This has been specially blended to suit a woman with character, with her head held high full of pride from her accomplishments. Yes, this is an accomplished woman's perfume. Definitely a chypre, but a modern one at that. Just amazingly done. I have something like this but I can't put my finger on which fragrance it really reminds me of. This was expertly done, exquisitely blended, well balanced and executed. This smells expensive, like a rich woman could have it. Yes, it smells like a rich woman, one who wears impeccable suits and a leather briefcase. This woman owns her own mansion. She wears gold earrings (real gold), and real diamonds, but she does so in a muted manner, not to call people's attention, or to boast her wealth. People know she's wealthy, but she is simple and humble about it, yet very elegant and stylish with the finest fabrics that make her taylored outfits for the office. In order to give you an approximation, this is in the same arena as Gucci Guilty Absolute Pour Femme and Bottega Venetta. It feels like those two, mega expensive smelling frags with a major aura of sophistication. Those are in my top tier, by the way. The more I smell it, the more I fall in utter love. At this point, having so many fragrances, it is getting harder and harder to impress me, but by golly, did this one do! 🤩

An excelent fragrance, totally unisex!! I love vibrant leather for him, but this "for her" version is actually pretty solid for the price!! I get a vibe that's reminiscent of some Lacoste male scents, i think maybe one with a red bottle... Anyway, i totally recommend this to anyone that is fond of delicate/moderate but elegant scents. I personally don't like overwhelming scents that may offend some tastes, maybe because i work as a healthcare professional, but also because i usually prefer elegant and discrete fragrances to loudness and oversweetness. Overall, another solid release from Zara, one that i can share with my girlfriend without worries, with some decent longevity (maybe at least 6-7h with mild projection), perfect for any situation, even formal occasions. It's really one of those scents where the freshness and the good quality of the juice just overshadows its moderate longevity, and obviously i prefer juice quality over longevity (let's remember all those niche fragrances that have amazing scents but with poor longevity, they still are wonderful fragrances). Thank you Zara for the amazing fragrance (though not a new one, only re-released) at an amazing price!

Fab chypre unisex fruity leather and patchouli. Picked up this along with another couple of scents of this current line from Zara and strongly considering several others - the complexity and quality (let alone the price tag!) of these fragrances are impressive, as is the presentation of each. VLfH is exceedingly easy to wear, a timeless, yet modern chypre which I'll gladly wear to the office as well as out and about at the weekend. Smooth and substantial, yet made light by the currant providing an engaging tone throughout. With Zara now also working with top perfumer names on some of their fragrances, I hope these will bring an end to the snobbery surrounding much of their output. Highly impressive.

OMG another successful blind buy 🙈 Thank you - Coco Pebz - I love patchouli/fruity fragances, this one is divine. I need a backup bottle First impression - initial spray on the wrist 😍 fruity, yummy but not necessarily gourmand I can detect the patchouli but also some white floral note, I could swear is tuberose, could be Jasmine but the currant masks it so I dunno Either way if you find this one in your local Zara please grab a bottle

I really really love this! It has a fresh fruity juicyness at first spray. Then dries down to a bit of spice with a hint of leather. It reminds me of being inside a luxury handbag store, you know when you first open that brand new Louis Vuitton bag, yes it smells like that - but it is combined with some nice juicy berries. I love it so much I got 2 bottles. Must be the patchouli that smells so good and I LOVE patchouli!
