Vibrant Leather Metal

Not to say the user below does not have a good nose, but I was shocked when I read that to them this was 90% similar to Ombre Leather in the dry-down. What? The opening of this is very orangey, but orangey as if you'd smell in a Fanta, or something like this. That orangey smell not so long after becomes this gourmand-ish, sweet pastry smell, that is absolutely beautiful, deep but fresh at the same time. Very light-hearted and nice. A great flanker from Vibrant Leather, and good perfume for summer nights and early autumn. Zara is nailing the perfume industry this year. Nice longevity, in the 5 or 6 hours. This will be liked by everyone, I can assure, and it is a safe blind buy if you are attracted to what I said in the previous paragraph. 7.8/10.

It smells like a Viktor & Rolf Spicebomb clone. So, it has a 70-80% similarity to Spicebomb with stronger accents on the floral / citrusy elements. btw: It has no metallic elements. I have no idea why they named it "Metal".

This is the best pick up of the new Vibrant Leather flankers. Vibrant Leather Warm is also great, but its the exact same juice as White Soho. Only in a new bottle. VL Winter is kinda weak. Do not recommend.

The love child of Spicebomb and The One

First of all, there is nothing “metallic” about this fragrance. This fragrance has a very bright, creamy grapefruit opening along with a slight floral sweetness. As it drys down, the spicier notes (ginger, pink pepper?) and woods begin to emerge and dominate the fragrance. It is very pleasant and very unisex, with the opening leaning more feminine and the dry down more masculine. Imo, the floral notes make this an elegant fragrance- very well suited for suit and tie events. However that is not to say this couldn’t be worn casually. Unfortunately, like most in the Vibrant Leather line - performance is rather abysmal. To be honest, this may be the weakest performing Vibrant Leather that I own. This becomes a skin scent within 20-30 minutes and has only about 3-4 hours of longevity. Of the 5 Vibrant Leather flankers I have smelled, I would rank this at the 4 spot, with Oud being the worst and “Eclat de Bergamot” the best. “Intense” and Cologne take the 2 & 3 spots respectively. *I am not familiar with Spice Bomb, so I can’t say whether Metal is a clone. However, based on the note breakdown it’s safe to assume they smell similar.
