The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2021 and crafted by perfumer Jérôme Epinette, Vibrant Leather Epice by Zara is a Woody Spicy fragrance that balances the warmth of leather with the freshness of cardamom. The composition opens with a bright note of cardamom, which cuts through the richness of rose and nutmeg in the heart. The base note of leather adds depth and smokiness, creating an aroma that feels both familiar and unexpected. This fragrance is a proof of Jérôme Epinette's ability to blend traditional elements with modern sensibilities.
For best effect, apply Vibrant Leather Epice to pulse points and let it settle for about 10 minutes before heading out. The cardamom top note fades quickly, so layering it over an existing base can help maintain its warmth throughout the day.
