The Story

Launched in 2020 and crafted by perfumer Daphné Bugey, Vibrant Leather Metal by Zara is a Woody Spicy fragrance that blends warm spices with rich leather notes. The composition opens with a burst of warmth from cardamom and cloves, gradually giving way to the deep, enveloping scent of leather. This duality creates a complex yet harmonious aroma that feels both contemporary and lasting.

The fragrance's moderate longevity and sillage ensure it stays close to the skin without overpowering the wearer or those around them.

Application Tips

Apply two sprays to your pulse points. The cardamom and cloves will fade within an hour, leaving the rich leather base to linger throughout the day. This fragrance is best for daytime wear, as it reads better close to skin rather than across a room.
