Vibrant Leather Summer Breeze

$50 sgd and this is such a lovely fresh stunning frag. When I tested it at zara I was thrown off and didn't expect a VL flanker to move in this direction. It's pretty similar to DHC with Imagination vibe you get the icy lemon verbena fresh morning summer scent top it with a light ginger and with a neroli and also a light tea note. I oversprayed this and in the air as I come in and out of the room, the light ginger note stays and hangs around with the neroli and tea....great combination. Pretty awesome. No pineapple 🍍 but it's all good. One of the best fresh cool frag I come across. Those schooling will find this great as it's very refreshing for class. Those at work will welcome this great combination of notes for good work mentality in the morning. Also zara atomizer sprayer is awesome and great and doesn't lose to a Dior.

There’s a perfect write-up by Jérôme Epinette on the box of the bottle that describes this fragrance beautifully. I highly recommend reading it before buying. The first minute smells a lot like MFK Aqua Media — and I’m being totally serious. Anyway... the fact that Zara has released a scent like this is unbelievable. Getting a fragrance that smells this unique and naturally like lemon soda — and could be a compliment magnet all summer — at this price is amazing. While Imagination gives off a more soapy and powdery feel, this perfume is fresher, more refreshing, and more SUMMER. That’s why I’d say it only resembles Imagination by 1.5 out of 10.

Testing the perfume in the shop, I was happily surprised by its freshness and zesty opening. This fresh opening is divine and the tea note gives the freshness of the bergamot and lemon as well the neroli some backbone so it lasts a bit longer. This is also a very unisex creation, as there are no heavy notes to be found here. This is a stand alone creation and could be brought out under an other name as it is not a flanker of the VL line at all . Again, Zara is stepping up it's game here, although they seem to bring out many perfumes so it's a bit overwhelming to keep up ;-)

I recently bought Vibrant Leather Summer Breeze, and I must say it’s an excellent fragrance, absolutely fresh, uplifting, and perfect for summer. I don’t understand why some people complain about its longevity; on me, it easily lasts a solid five hours. The scent profile reminds me of Dior Homme Cologne and Mercedes-Benz Cologne. I personally find it to be the mixture of Dior Homme Cologne and LV Imagination. Yes, there is a tea note, but Summer Breeze is much more citrus forward. Considering the price, you really can’t ask for more.

This hidden gem smells exactly like Argos Neptune’s Trident. It’s insanely blended Imagination, Dior Homme Cologne and a little bit of Afternoon Swim with Wulong Cha. Unfortunately, longevity and projection is not as good as other fragrances from Zara like Sunrise on the Red Sand Dunes Intense but for the price, my God, what a smell it is. Approved!

This is really, really good. I have tried a lot of cheap fragrances over the last few months, mainly from Saudi Arabian brands, and this is my favourite out of all of them. It's an extremely fresh fragrance with an opening of realistic ginger with some lemon and a drydown that I would describe as a soapy and clean scent which works in any setting.

lasts about 1 hour and then poof... Gone. Smells fantastic otherwise but I would definitely need to overspray this. Cheap enough to overspray. Between this and Sunrise over the red sand dunes, it's a hard pick. I'll let it maturate and see how it fares.

Super fresh and smell very good. Nothing different but good for this summer. You've got use a good amount of sprays to fix hours. If you like imagination or afternoon swim, you got try it out. It is not a dupe to be clear, but same vibe.

This is like a 60% Dior home cologne with the fizzy lemon and 40% ck one essence. about 3 hours longevity as you'd expect from a Zara freshie. Really good freshie for the price in my opinion, I personally am addicted to the smell

There is something truly magical about this scent. Whenever I let amateur noses smell it, I get extraordinary reactions. I've never received this kind of response with my other perfumes. It definitely deserves way more love

It would be the perfect summer fragrance. Citrusy, fizzy, lightly sweet and a big crowd-pleaser. But it lasts for an hour at most—after that, you can barely smell it on your skin. Even excessive overspray won't save it.

Hidden gem right here. Bought it a year ago and all i could smell when wearing it was the citrus. Wore it last week and let me tell you, this is phenomenal. Smell really great. I love the tea note in there.

Blind bought it because of the price and the note breakdown. I was expecting something sweeter. All i smell is the citrus. It's an ok fragrance. Good for formal offices

This is not an imagination dupe. Smells way different and more natural then imagination or Sunrise on the red sand dunes. This is an excellent summer frag

Surprisingly delightful. I was pleasantly surprised by the longevity (6 hours solid on my skin). 98% accurate Dior Homme cologne for 20€.

Closest fragrance to Dior Homme cologne I’ve come across. Brilliantly fresh citrus quality with balance.

Combine Vibrant Leather Summer and Red Sand Dunes. This is fantastic for the price

I hope they bring this back I’ll actually get 2 backup bottles

I had this on one wrist and Saffron Flowers on another, and in the end went for this one. Based on what I'm smelling now around myself, I think they could be layered, they compliment each other, and this one's freshness and slightly more zest can edge you more towards the masculine smell spectrum, while gorgeous orange blossomness of Saffron Flowers is sweeter and more flirtatious (and truly unisex). I bought this one mostly as a refreshing office smell for summer sweltering heat, and in a deep mourning sadness about not being able to restock my Lush Vétiver. If I could, I'd replace Tonka with Oakmoss and Vétiver here without hesitation. Overall, nice, uplifting smell. A zesty sweet cocktail drunk in white crisp shirt on a relaxed summer day - that's the vibe.

First impression from spraying on paper: very realistic citrus lemon zest, sweet but also a little bitter. Underneath some heaviness develops. Lemon ice tea comes also to mind. Also a faint soapy smell. I wore this today to work and it is nice, but very unremarkable. It lasts about 6 hours. Edit 9/6/2026: the vibe is similar to LV Imagination in the sense that it is a citrusy soapy scent with a heavy ambroxan base. Sunrise on tbe Red Sand Dunes is closer. Edit 8/8/2026: really citrusy start, almost like citrus cleaner. I like it though. It smells like you're drinking lemonade.

Finally tested this at Zara. Longevity was horrendous. Undetectable after 30 mins on my skin. 2026 summer edit: I needed a cheapie for hot summer days and since Sultani is a bit on the heavier side despite being a fresh fragrance. Turns out longevity and projection were not as bad i initially thought. People absolutely notice this even after 2-3 hours of spraying. It's as good as it gets considering the price. Perfect blind buy material. But if you want a better crowd pleaser go for Sunrise On The Red Sand Dunes though. It's unbeatable.

I own the Dior Homme Cologne this is being compared to. For the money, I’ll take this, and multiple bottles of it, please and thank you. This isn’t overloaded with white musk materials like the Dior, and has a beautifully rendered tea note, which puts it squarely in the LV Imagination realm, without the salty ambergris (ambroxan) finish or the aspirational price tag. People complaining about its longevity need to get a grip. The Dior doesn’t last any longer and it’s 4 times the price. Is everyone ok? 🤷🏾♂️

I see that many people complain about poor longevity. I don't understand it at all. On my skin it lasts over 7 hours and has good projection. I was surprised that such a fresh, citrus scent does so well. Excellent edition of Zara. If Sunrise On The Red Sand Dunes is too sweet for someone, Summer Breeze is the perfect option. Of course, it has nothing to do with Vibrant Leather. 8/10

One minute after spraying this on my arm , i could not but remember LV imagination. If it’s not a dupe then there are huge similarities. Even the scent profile indicates that . Doesn’t really have great longevity turns to a skin scent after 2ish hours . But still an amazing summer scent .

If Sunrise was Imagination, this would lean towards Afternoon Swim. However, and big however! This is cheapest citrus note i have ever smelled, and i am not a snob, i like cheap dupes. I love Afternoon Swim, Eros Energy, Boss Bold Citrus, Chanel Blanche etc, but this is literally cheapest lemon aroma you can imagine. It is fresh, invigorating, but no charracter or complexity to speak of

It's just OK, the citrus notes which are 90% of the frag are very synthetic/cheap. Its affordable though so not a bad purchase by any stretch.

Just bought this new 2025 flanker of the endless Zara Vibrant Leather line. The perfumer is Jérôme Epinette who also created the Vibrant Leather original. I'm stunned by this creation. What a summer gem! A wonderful fresh citrus bergamot grapefruit opening. And the dry down is light, sweet and musky. Like a fresh white cotton shirt that you put on after a hot summer day. There is something magical about this one that is absolutely in the same ballpark as Dior Homme Cologne and Chanel Allure Homme Sport Cologne. And many other summer citrus freshies. I'm impressed by the longevity and performance. The sillage is so fresh and wonderful for a long time. You have to over spray but the result is impressive. And that for the price of 23.95 in Euro's. In the ingredients list I read that they use genuine citrus oils and that is absolutely noticeable. The bottle has an excellent Dior style sprayer and a magnetic cap. Zara frags are getting better and better and I'm really becoming a big fan of their perfumes. And that is also better for my wallet as a fanatic fraghead and collector.

It's more similar to Sunrise On The Red Sand Dunes than to VL Cologne, VL Summer or Dior Homme Cologne, except in the opening. It's like SOTRSD opening replaced with Dior Homme Cologne zesty lemon/lime, but the rest remained more similar to SOTRSD. I was expecting the legacy of Orange Zest (2017), From Paris to New York (2018), VL Cologne (2019), VL Summer (2020) to continue with VL Summer Breeze - they were all great ginger/lemon/lime citruses a la Dior Homme Cologne, but the hype around Imagination lately seems to prevent Zara to re-release the original VL Cologne/Summer. Bummer. Still a very solid summer fragrance, just not what I expected in the DNA of Dior Homme Cologne. Price / quality ratio is delivering super value. But between this and SOTRSD (and SOTRSD Intense), I would go for the latter two.

This fragrance smells like vacation. Fresh, airy, relaxed, and perfect for warm weather. Every time I wear it, I think of beaches, ocean breezes, and sunny afternoons. Because it's lighter and softer than most fragrances, compliments are relatively uncommon. However, I've noticed that people tend to appreciate it more in very hot weather, where stronger fragrances can become overwhelming. It's less about making an impression and more about creating a pleasant atmosphere around you. Plus it smells like Dior Homme Cologne but for cheap ;)

This iteration has nothing in common with the main frag. To me its a plain and shortlived lemon-bergamot-neroli centered fragrance. You may feel an initial burst of ginger and an slightly sweet trail not even reminiscent of tonka. Thats all. I dont get any of the other listed notes. Zara has incredible citrus frags like Sunrise OTRSD or Vetiver Pamplemousse but this one is very basic, expensive for what you get and trully taking advantage of the name of a successful collection.

Taze ve canlandırıcı bir açılış , en az 2 saat bu şekilde gidiyor daha sonra kayboluyor sanıyorsunuz hafif bir rüzgarda yine burnunuza geliyor.Bu parfüm temiz kokan ve sıcak yaz günlerinde enerjinizi yükseltir.Limon ve zencefil baskındır düz bir profilde gider.5-6 kez sıksanız bile yeterlidir.Spreyi çok iyi yayılım yapıyor bunu beğendim.Gece kesinlikle kullanılmaması gerekiyor.Projeksiyonu 5-6 saat sürüyor.Bu fiyata güzel bir sıcak hava parfümü , tavsiye ederim.

A marine citrus fragrance that is not salty. Like a blend of VL Cologne and Sunrise On The Red Sand Dunes. Kind of reminds me of Eau d'Issey too, it's that kind of citrus fragrance. Smells quite pleasant and doesn't come off as cleaning product-y which is often an issue with citrus fragrances for me. But it doesn't wow me. I can't really imagine wearing this rather than one of the million great freshies available today.

This is NOT similar nor close to Dior Homme Cologne AT ALL. The fizzy, dreamy opening fools you into get it right on the spot. The following is just a mere tea bomb that slaps you in the face and it stays there forever. The tea used here is the same tea used on Russian Tea by Masque Milano.

This is nice - it opens up like Dior Homme Cologne (gingery citrus), then dries down like Chanel Alure Edition Blanche (creamy citrus). It's maybe a touch too youthful for me (mid 40's) but it's good.

It’s kinda like mix between Imagination & ideal cologne forte .. I think it’s good to grab something easy like this for summer

It's Sunrise on the red sand dunes mixed with Eros Energy imo.

Layer this with Encre Noir Sport ... Wow !

Smells good but lasts 30 minutes.
