Smelling Great Fragrance Reviews hi there, please can u tell me the differences between vibrant leather eau de parfume and eau de toilette ? Cuz in my city zara has only eau de toilette .. thnx
Great review Sebastian, I picked this up yesterday in the UK for £19.99 and have to sayit really is a shockingly good alternative to Aventus and lasted on my skin around 5 -6 hours. I like the fact that I cannot detect anything synthetic in this fragrance.
Zara drive me nuts. They keep some fragrances for years and others are gone in months. The ones I like the most are the ones that disappear the fastest.
I'm going to try the Zara tour of Manhattan soon. Within a 4 mile stretch, there are 5 Zara stores. I have a feeling each one has a different selection. From what I recall there's not even a fragrance dept. but a few shelves with fragrances on them and no personnel assigned to them.
@@espartan3806 Sebastian was reviewing the 2018 release here. In 2019, when I I bougtht it, it was reformulated and weaker. From what I've read on Fragrantica, Zara is still issuing a weaker formulation with less performance than the bottle reviewed here by Sebastian.
they have a collection from 2019 where I discovered a scent which is a dupe for diptyque eau duelle and no one knows about it. now they don’t sell it anymore and I have to get the real thing 😩
I sprayed VL and was like this shit is weak.. walk around the mall get in my car and I'm like Damn what's that smell.. it was VL smelling good as hell. I regret not grabbing the whole shelf that day. Smh. Definitely a great fragrance by on of my favorite perfumers
Finally man! I've been waiting for a review of this fragrance since I bought it last month! I fell in love with this fragrance the first time I smelled it and I smell it every night before I go to sleep. The longevity sucks though so I spray 8 times when I use it lol/
Zara has the most amazing scents. However I dont know why they make them with such poor performance. I honestly wouldn't mind paying more for a longer performance fragrance. I own alot of there scents. All of them are weak in performance.
I've gotten tired of all these Zara releases as most of them, although nice smelling, lacks the quality and/or performance compared to the more established designers and more so the niche ones. And with my collection growing to around 140 incl my latest orders, not sure if I should make room for another Zara release or two (still holding on to RWA and have passed Aromatic Future to my younger Son). But with your glowing recommendation, I must try Vibrant Leather EDP at least! Those I remembered that impressed me but did not pull the trigger are: Tone Indeterminee, Weekend til 3:00 am and Orange Zest.
Love this stuff. It doesn’t last that long on me, but either does Aventus. Mancera is a beast and therefore, a better value I feel. The Zara one is fresh, refreshing and very pleasing. Great video!
Shave- a-thon I hear that. I sometimes like fragrances that don’t hang around forever because it allows me to change a scent without a shower and costume change. 🤣
Finally opened the bottle my friend brought back from Zara in Europe a few months ago for 20 euros. It's a March, 2019 bottle I'm very disappointed in the early performance. I got 4 hours of longevity with maybe 90 minutes of light projection. It certainly wasn't as strong as the tester from the store. Some say the 2018 early release of this (which is probably what you have) is a stronger batch. Sometimes, when the scent builds up in the atomizer and nozzle after repeated wears, the performance gets better. Hopefully, that's the case with this. Initially, I planned to buy a backup bottle in the event it might be discontinued again but as is the case with many Zara fragrances and many designer houses, the performance is initially disappointing.
Thanks for the video,just bought the scent,and it's amazing...nothing like that I allready have in my possession.I always loved Aventus,but never wanted to pay that much for particular(relatively straight forward,linear,almost designer category)fragrance.This Zara solved my problems,and for 20€,I can't ask anything more...
Bottle is spectacular as the EDT bottle, scent is good but not that similar nor a carbon copy of Aventus, there is absolutely no pineapple, no birch, no black currant, just a fruity citrus vibe that is very popular and similar to many other scents, yet it is unique on its own, because of that thick creamy bamboo note. In the end I even hardly believe if it is even a different juice from the EDT, I even have a Pour Homme Night IV which is the same scents. I do not know if this new release is a good value for its performance because you need at very least 6 sprays and reapply every 2-3 hours, so for the amount you need to use in the end Cedrat Boise would be a better value and not even talking quality and amazing scent.
Even Rich Leather its not close to Aventus like Vibrant Leather , VL in my opinion its the most similar to Aventus. I live in Portugal and i have Zara stores everywhere, i buy a lot fragrances from Zara prices are 10€/20€ and this Vibrant Leather its a bargain for 20€(Portugal price) and all Zara fragrances have the same issue , the performance :)
absolutely, yet I am not that stoked about Vibrant Leather, for me it is not that similar, since there is zero pineapple and birch note in it, for me it is more similar to Cedrat Boise, yet still CB is way superior in everyway.
I think the male fragrances at Zara have several clones. I don't know if this is done intentionally but on the female side they are much more original and put out some solid offerings. My wife is a fan. For the money Zara puts out some great finds. Zara Exclusive Oud and Zara Noble Amber were fantastic from last winter.
I bought it and it stays just for an hour on your clothes and half hour on your skin, and No it's not just me that I don't smell it after one hour, it's all my friends also, so it's just a wast of money, If Zara would make the same one but stay longer I would pay 80€ for the 120m, it's the best perfume that I have tested it till now !
I bought a bottle a few days ago.. it's bananas the amount of comments I have had so far is amazing. I must say it smells great and would highly recommend. Best 20 pounds I have ever spent!
I also think that Zara does not do clone. Many brands offer more or less similar fragrances. This may be partly due to the use of similar components and so much. Fashion for oud with rose, how many fragrances are similar to each other, and are not equivalent? Tobacco and vanilla the same story ..... I think that many of Zara's smells are really excellent quality.
Stumbled upon it last Friday while testing it and it did remind me of Creed Aventus but at a much lower price. It's still available here in the Netherlands. Maybe will pickup a bottle next week. I did not see your review prior to testing it!
Great review! When it comes to reviewing clones I definitely wouldn’t mind it. Unless the clone was given to you , or you have a relationship with the owner of the house.
First aventus clone that I actually liked and decided to buy it. It might be the bamboo note that works form me, I like this kind of fruity watery scent. It's very relaxing, not ofensive and extremly pleasant. Performance is poor, but I don't might respraying, because it is soft projecting fragrance from the start. For some reason it reminds me of Mont Blanc Starwalker with overall scent type.
Mancera Cedrat Boise is simply fantastic and super fine quality. I'll head out to Zara this week to see if I can find their Vibrant Leather. Thanks as always for a great review.
I just bought a bottle of Vibrant Leather (VL) today, and I have to agree with you at 8:10, VL almost identical of my new Aventus batch is 19Y01N with “N” at the end which is more fruity and the juice is more clear than my older smoky bottle is 17Y02, that’s why I believe VL is the best Aventus dupe (Jus de rose also say that in her newest video)
after saw your review i went to zara get a bottle which its not easy coz they sold out everywhere .only one store carried it n no taster. so i just get the bottle . unfortunately after i try it today opening note its amazing doesnt last , its only last 15 minute for the opening after tht bamboo and leather kick in, but my skin change the scents into something else. Dont know how to explain but after couple hours i return that bottle to the store. for the price, the size and the notes of that bottle its great but just not for me . just feel like i share my experiences
I don't feel Zara is clone house, per se. Yes, they produce frags that may smell like other things, but how many times have we said "XYZ reminds me of ABC....but not quite." If they were indeed cloners, they would hire nameless chemists to reproduce existing scents rather than known perfumers. Zara is a house that is certainly prolific and I think they stock their fragrances accordingly to get a return trip to the store. Perfect example is Rich Warm Addictive in their tobacco line. When the hype hit, there was not a bottle to be found in any store I visited, but my persistence paid off in Barcelona. The search for this bottle put me into Zara...I smelled a few more, picked up some shirts and created a retail/marketing success story. End point--they make good scents with Creed quality with an Old Spice price point.
Heyyyy, thank you... I was wearing Zara while watching a tennis’s match and another spectator sitting nearby said she smelling Creed on someone.. lol, but sits true... I didn’t know this fragrance also resembles Mancera which was on my bucket list, but no more.. so thanks
That's a real tough question Sebastian. I've personally smelled over 30 of their releases and have to say that about half are either direct clones or strongly reminiscent of something I can't put my finger on. The other half just doesn't do as well (for one reason or another), and so recently I've been seeing a trend towards releasing more and more clones. Not a terrible move considering their price (plus I love the atomizers), but the quality is nearly always hit or miss. But for the average guy who doesn't really care about fragrance, it's a solid brand.
Zara is probably going to keep the vibrant leather fragrance in their catalogue. They will launch it every spring/summer, probably evertime in another bottle. Thanx for the review
Smelling Great Fragrance Reviews oh, thank you so so much Sebastian. I just finished watching and I'm now going to go to Zara after work.😂🤣 Appreciate your take on it and thank you for sharing our video!🙏
The best of the Vibrant Leather collection in my opinion. I was impressed by the performance of VL Platinum, I had the feeling that it suited me very well too
Sebastian...ZARA itself is clone house of Italian menswear collection, women collection cloned from France.accessories. and made in cheapest country and sold aggressively in developed nations at affordable price.studied Zara from last 6 years.
Yeah Zara love to mix and match designer fragrances, I have Zara Man Gold and to my nose it smells like Ultra Male with a strong Iris note which appeals to me more than Ultra Male.
Thanks Sebastian! I finally got Zara's Vibrant Leather after several failed attempts since they are highly sought aftet here in the Philippines. 100ml just for 35USD. GREAT DEAL!
Gongrats on your spot on review!This is a great summertime fragrance and it reminds me a lot of Dior Homme Cologne!Performance and longevity on me are also great!Best regards from Greece!!
Thank you for such a great review. I just bought mine today at our Zara outlet. I am looking forward to explore it more, so far I am satisfied with its scent.
sebastian you know the house of loewe right?? about 3 months ago they launched loewe esencia pour homme eau de parfum, it is in a black bottle, and its really really close to aventus, could you try it out and make a review on it? Thanks
People are saiyng Zara copys .... What about Creed? Original Santal , original vetiver, and green irish tweed? All copys.monblanc individual. Cool watet and mugler cologne are original
paulo-magum I think the ideas behind Creed fragrances weren't to clone other frags, they're just their take on popular fragrance ingredients that appear everywhere like sandalwood, vetiver and so on... It just so happens to smell allot like (insert perfume here) I'm doubtful the master parfume blenders woke up one brisk Sunday morning in 2006 and said... "you k ow what this would needs, a $300 niche version of $38 Cool water" Where as everyone is strait up ripping off Aventus. But, that's my opinion.
I have several bottles between 2018-2020 of this as the batches are all different , some are smokey, some fruity, some zesty.... but one thing I must say is everyone ask me if I'm wearing creed , I simply say yes. It goes to show creed is just hyped and the everyday ppl just won't know the difference so why would you pay £100+ .... Save your money and get a few bottles of this stuff!!
Thanks for your review! I just ordered a sample shipped from US but unfortunately if I want to order a bottle it would ship from either Athens or Portugal. New subscriber. Enjoy your channel very much!
I've been meaning to try Zara fragrances and so long as they smell good (and reasonably priced!) I don't care if they're perceived as (here it comes...) - "clognes"!
Guys, i love this fragrance but i want something thatd last longer that isnt aventus (as aventus is way too masculine because of the smoke). Will cedrat boise do the trick? How does this compare to cedrat boise in the opening, mid and dry down?
I just bought a bottle, so they're still in stock in some places. Got it for 20€, really nice for the price but the performance is crap but I can just overspray like crazy to make it last since it's so cheap.
Other companies should concentrate on their own thing,. There will never be a carbon copy of aventus,. They might smell a lil bit the same but thats pretty much it,.
I like Aventus, but sheesh. I have wanted to try the Cedrat Boise but am hoping to buy a sample soon. Clones and the idea behind them are off-putting to me, MOST of the time; there are always exceptions and as usual, thanks for the intel about the way they put out there stuff! Take good care, Sebastion!
Jack L. Get Cedrat Boise. It’s it’s own fragrance and what ever similarities to Aventus, are not significant enough to actually replace it. I personally don’t find it to be a clone. I prefer it over Pineapple Vintage Intense. Go enjoy it..
This is SUPERB and TIMELY intel, thank you! I thought Pineapple Vintage was the way to go but the thought of smoked AND bright pineapple sound good to me. For me, I am the type of guy to have a decant of something for the appropriate occasion, weather, time, etc, etc, than spend all this money on a clone. PLUS, all the reviewers worth their salt never fronted it as a clone. Cheers and thanks!
Jack L. Absolutely! I own Pineapple Vintage Intense, and have yet to wear it out. The pineapple is actually off putting to me. I’m going to have to just do a full wear and see if I can enjoy it. Club de Nuit Intense is terrible in my opinion. I did a full wear, and was nauseous hours later. A regrettable blind buy. Too synthetic and irritating to my nose.
1) What batch date of CDNI Men do you have? I've found that the recent bottles I've purchased are much weaker and appear to be tampered with (used boxes, scratched bottles, juuce on 1st spray, etc). I've returned several. 2) The 2016 batches of CDNI Men are great when layered with Demeter Pineapple Cologne.
Got my bottle yesterday and although it does smell incredible, the longevity kinda sucks. Still happy for the price but just wish the scent hanged around a bit longer
The first vibrant leather was very very goood!!!...the new vibrant leather is not as good, its just ok. However, the newst vibrant leather Oud, is actually quite good, and if u layer them both, u get a suberb scent
I have Rich Warm Addictive which performs well as does Deep Fougere. Can you recommend a few others that perform well. Many smell great but I'd like one with some sillage.
Thanks for the information. I'll be on the lookout and see how many are still available. Even though they're listed on the site, I have a feeling some stores have different stock, considering how loose Zara treats their 'fragrance department". There's usually no employees assigned to fragrances and the stock is haphazardly placed on a few shelves, Some say there's some behind the cashier counters but I haven't personally confirmed it as of yet.
Shave- a-thon Their employees are usually young kids who don't really know about the fragrances. Unless you have a regular contact it's kind of hard to get an inside track on their current inventory. You kinda just have to figure it out
I have Aventus and Mancera CB, and I just bought Zara VL edp one hour ago. I am really disappointed because it doesn’t smell in my skin even if I over spray it. Do you know why is that?
No, I don’t think so, I can perfectly smell my other fragrances. I think ZVL tends to fade in my skin, I don’t know! What do you think about Masculin Pluriel of F Kurdijian?

The biggest problem with Zara Fragrances is that they just dont last long
Just bought a bottle of this thanks to your review. Best €20.00 I have ever spent, thanks!
I keep hearing such nice things about Zara fragrances, their bottles are super nice for sure! It's time to go shopping at Zara!
I sprayed VL and was like this shit is weak.. walk around the mall get in my car and I'm like Damn what's that smell.. it was VL smelling good as hell. I regret not grabbing the whole shelf that day. Smh. Definitely a great fragrance by on of my favorite perfumers

Bought the edp yesterday. Worth the money. Nice alternative. Save your aventus for special occasions and use vibrant leather liberally.
I love Aventus more than other but when I consider price I don't buy new bottle when my Aventus bottle finishes

Those I remembered that impressed me but did not pull the trigger are: Tone Indeterminee, Weekend til 3:00 am and Orange Zest.
The magnetic cap is a nice touch too

spray 8-10 sprays on your clothes
austin sauce on clothes it s a beast i can Amen it the hole day about 8-10 Hours you are totally right ;)

Gourmand Leather by Zara has the pineapple note and was first thought to be another Aventus clone.
Gourmand Leather its a JPG Ultra Male clone , not even close to AVENTUS .
I guess he meant Rich Leather, just mixed the names.
Even Rich Leather its not close to Aventus like Vibrant Leather , VL in my opinion its the most similar to Aventus.
I live in Portugal and i have Zara stores everywhere, i buy a lot fragrances from Zara prices are 10€/20€ and this Vibrant Leather its a bargain for 20€(Portugal price) and all Zara fragrances have the same issue , the performance :)

I did not see your review prior to testing it!
Went to Zara on monday, and they still have it
Thanks for the review.. I liked the original vibrant leather as well.. I think my favorite so far has been pineapple vintage intense.
Fantastic review and comparison. I have never tried any Zara fragrance, I don't even know if we have them here. I love the bottle on the new edp.

very interesting. I never tried the edt but love aventus. Must check then if you say so. it's sure cheap.
I found this bottle that I bought over a year ago in my closet and I have to say it amazed me . Keeping it away for a while makes it smell better ?
after saw your review i went to zara get a bottle which its not easy coz they sold out everywhere .only one store carried it n no taster. so i just get the bottle . unfortunately after i try it today opening note its amazing doesnt last , its only last 15 minute for the opening after tht bamboo and leather kick in, but my skin change the scents into something else.

Hmm darn! Too bad! :(
I love it so much! It is amazing and sooo cheap! I bought it too cauze my cousin wanted it for a long time! And now it is 125ml, and a magnetic cap!!
Well Vibrant Leather edp has certainly been around for longer than 2-3 months.
I don't feel Zara is clone house, per se. Yes, they produce frags that may smell like other things, but how many times have we said "XYZ reminds me of ABC....but not quite."

Quite a screen name you have! All I can say is if it truly describes the mensch that owns it, then mazel tov!
Heh heh heh Congratulations for being the third person I have not had to explain my name to! Does it describe me? You be the judge.....
Mine smells amzing but i can't smell it on my clothes and cant be smelled by people around me. What's the problem with my bottle?
Heyyyy, thank you... I was wearing Zara while watching a tennis’s match and another spectator sitting nearby said she smelling Creed on someone.. lol, but sits true... I didn’t know this fragrance also resembles Mancera which was on my bucket list, but no more.. so thanks

Great review Sebastian 🍍
OH MAN!! YOU GOT YOUR HANDS ON IT!! AWESOME!! SO SO COOL! I'M so glad you got your nose on it. I'm going to have to see if my local one has it!😉👍👍
I linked your video btw! :)
Smelling Great Fragrance Reviews oh, thank you so so much Sebastian. I just finished watching and I'm now going to go to Zara after work.😂🤣
Appreciate your take on it and thank you for sharing our video!🙏
Zara is so close to me. I wonder if our store has these yet. I have the EDT and almost out and need to replenish soon.
Seb...you have to try the new Vibrant Leather Platinum...wonderful woody/leathery fragrance...nothin beats that for 19$
I'll check for sure.
The best of the Vibrant Leather collection in my opinion. I was impressed by the performance of VL Platinum, I had the feeling that it suited me very well too
Sebastian...ZARA itself is clone house of Italian menswear collection, women collection cloned from France.accessories. and made in cheapest country and sold aggressively in developed nations at affordable price.studied Zara from last 6 years.
Deepinder Gill zara is from Spain
Love the new intro music!
Yeah Zara love to mix and match designer fragrances, I have Zara Man Gold and to my nose it smells like Ultra Male with a strong Iris note which appeals to me more than Ultra Male.
July 2023 and it's still available along with 2 flankers.
Thanks Sebastian! I finally got Zara's Vibrant Leather after several failed attempts since they are highly sought aftet here in the Philippines. 100ml just for 35USD. GREAT DEAL!
That's awesome!!
You know about zara wend till 12 am???
Bought this online yesterday, cant wait to try it!
Awesome keep me posted.
Gongrats on your spot on review!This is a great summertime fragrance and it reminds me a lot of Dior Homme Cologne!Performance and longevity on me are also great!Best regards from Greece!!
Thank you for such a great review. I just bought mine today at our Zara outlet. I am looking forward to explore it more, so far I am satisfied with its scent.
sebastian you know the house of loewe right?? about 3 months ago they launched loewe esencia pour homme eau de parfum, it is in a black bottle, and its really really close to aventus, could you try it out and make a review on it?
Thanks

Where as everyone is strait up ripping off Aventus.
But, that's my opinion.
GIT came out before cool water do your research
My beater/dumb reach fragrance. Smells incredible and got me a lot of compliments
It sucks because they have such a great perfume selection for the price but they last a season. They change season twice a year. Summer/winter
I have several bottles between 2018-2020 of this as the batches are all different , some are smokey, some fruity, some zesty.... but one thing I must say is everyone ask me if I'm wearing creed , I simply say yes. It goes to show creed is just hyped and the everyday ppl just won't know the difference so why would you pay £100+ .... Save your money and get a few bottles of this stuff!!
What about other vibrant leather collections? Are they worthy of purchase? Thank you
I enjoyed the Oud, I'l have to see if I can pick up! :)
Also don't they come in 120 ml not 100 ML? Or does it vary by state
i love this zara parfum. better get it befor all gone
Thanks for your review! I just ordered a sample shipped from US but unfortunately if I want to order a bottle it would ship from either Athens or Portugal. New subscriber. Enjoy your channel very much!
I just bought Zara Rich leather and after this video, I blind bought Zara Vibrant Leather EDP.
Thanks. Sounds like I need at least two bottles!
I've been meaning to try Zara fragrances and so long as they smell good (and reasonably priced!) I don't care if they're perceived as (here it comes...) - "clognes"!
Great review. I like the bottle on the new release. Might check it out✌🏻
I need this but the website giving me problems when I try to check out
Guys, i love this fragrance but i want something thatd last longer that isnt aventus (as aventus is way too masculine because of the smoke). Will cedrat boise do the trick? How does this compare to cedrat boise in the opening, mid and dry down?
Explorer by Mont Blanc !
I just bought a bottle, so they're still in stock in some places. Got it for 20€, really nice for the price but the performance is crap but I can just overspray like crazy to make it last since it's so cheap.
Performance utterly lacks with all the zara vibrant leather lineup. No more than 3 hours. Then barely a skin scent.
Good news, excellent review!
Sound as an easy blind buy...worth trying...
20€ in Europe
MidiFire I know:)....bought it for 20€:)thanks....
Creed is worth the money absolutely .
Other companies should concentrate on their own thing,. There will never be a carbon copy of aventus,. They might smell a lil bit the same but thats pretty much it,.
I like Aventus, but sheesh. I have wanted to try the Cedrat Boise but am hoping to buy a sample soon. Clones and the idea behind them are off-putting to me, MOST of the time; there are always exceptions and as usual, thanks for the intel about the way they put out there stuff! Take good care, Sebastion!
Jack L. Get Cedrat Boise. It’s it’s own fragrance and what ever similarities to Aventus, are not significant enough to actually replace it. I personally don’t find it to be a clone. I prefer it over Pineapple Vintage Intense. Go enjoy it..
This is SUPERB and TIMELY intel, thank you! I thought Pineapple Vintage was the way to go but the thought of smoked AND bright pineapple sound good to me. For me, I am the type of guy to have a decant of something for the appropriate occasion, weather, time, etc, etc, than spend all this money on a clone. PLUS, all the reviewers worth their salt never fronted it as a clone. Cheers and thanks!
Jack L. Absolutely! I own Pineapple Vintage Intense, and have yet to wear it out. The pineapple is actually off putting to me. I’m going to have to just do a full wear and see if I can enjoy it. Club de Nuit Intense is terrible in my opinion. I did a full wear, and was nauseous hours later. A regrettable blind buy. Too synthetic and irritating to my nose.
1) What batch date of CDNI Men do you have? I've found that the recent bottles I've purchased are much weaker and appear to be tampered with (used boxes, scratched bottles, juuce on 1st spray, etc). I've returned several.
2) The 2016 batches of CDNI Men are great when layered with Demeter Pineapple Cologne.
The adp is still being sold in the UK at least cant speak for the US
I dont think they are a clone house
Just got mine in the mail...and I love it....thanks
Somebody know the perfume that clones Zara Silver? Not Zara Man Silver. The one with de silver letters on the box. Many thanks!
Got my bottle yesterday and although it does smell incredible, the longevity kinda sucks. Still happy for the price but just wish the scent hanged around a bit longer
I can see that yes totally but for the price, I think it's fine. :)
Any link? Where did you get it? Info PLEASE...thanks! In advance
Spray it on your clothes. You'll get 1-2 hours more 😉
Love your review. Checked Zara US, out of stock!
The first vibrant leather was very very goood!!!...the new vibrant leather is not as good, its just ok. However, the newst vibrant leather Oud, is actually quite good, and if u layer them both, u get a suberb scent
Im so confused!😨🙃
I don't think it smells like Aventus I think this is a exact copy of the original coach for men leatherware back in 2014 that they had
Nice review. I own several of the Zara fragrances. They all perform pretty well on my skin. Think I'll pick this one up this weekend
I have Rich Warm Addictive which performs well as does Deep Fougere. Can you recommend a few others that perform well. Many smell great but I'd like one with some sillage.
Shave- a-thon The ones I like that perform well on me are RWA, 7, 9, Amber, Exclusive Oud and Rich Leather
That was Amber Noble
Thanks for the information. I'll be on the lookout and see how many are still available. Even though they're listed on the site, I have a feeling some stores have different stock, considering how loose Zara treats their 'fragrance department". There's usually no employees assigned to fragrances and the stock is haphazardly placed on a few shelves, Some say there's some behind the cashier counters but I haven't personally confirmed it as of yet.
Shave- a-thon Their employees are usually young kids who don't really know about the fragrances. Unless you have a regular contact it's kind of hard to get an inside track on their current inventory. You kinda just have to figure it out
Je suis très satisfait de cette parfum zara vibrant leather c’est magnifique énormément ❤️
I have Aventus and Mancera CB, and I just bought Zara VL edp one hour ago. I am really disappointed because it doesn’t smell in my skin even if I over spray it. Do you know why is that?
Anosmia?
No, I don’t think so, I can perfectly smell my other fragrances. I think ZVL tends to fade in my skin, I don’t know! What do you think about Masculin Pluriel of F Kurdijian?
Am a huge fan of yours & appreciate the time you put in your reviews. A true Cologne genius ♥️
The price on this went up to $35.90 & it just arrived in the Zara nearest me in NJ
WOW, so they raise the price up with more demand?
Just picked up a 120ml bottle of this today in Zara at 1 Utama for 129 Ringgit. Loving the smell so far. Thanks for your video review. 😀
You're welcome!! :)
Nice review sir, just had a look at prices up here in Newcastle Upon Tyne England and £19.99 seems fair.
It's 10 euros over here in Ukraine.
Great comparison Seb.
Thank you for your beautiful search in the world of fragrance.
Don't have a Zara store around here. Never had the opportunity to try any. Maybe I can find that for sale on Facebook group's. ✌
Where are you located? They sell them online in almost every country now. Zara, USA just recently started.
WHERE CAN I GET THIS PERFUME? INFO PLEASE...ANY LINK? Please! Thanks!
At Zara Boutiques.
I just ordered it...thanks!
Loved it as always, thanks
I just checked this fragrance at Zara. It smells amazing
How much is it
