Vibrant Leather Oud

The tension between a freshly polished leather armchair and the lingering smoke from an extinguished incense stick — where crispness meets smokiness in a sophisticated office.

The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2019, Vibrant Leather Oud by Zara is crafted by perfumer Jérôme Epinette and presents a distinctive blend of freshness and warmth. The top note of bergamot brings a zesty vibrancy that contrasts beautifully with the smoky and warm spicy accords in the base. At its heart, incense adds an intriguing depth to the composition while woody notes ground it firmly in earthy elegance. Agarwood (oud) emerges as the star of this fragrance, infusing the blend with a rich, smoky character that resonates through the amber undertones.

How to wear it

Given its moderate longevity and sillage, apply two sprays to ensure the fragrance lasts through the day. The bergamot top note fades quickly, so you may need a light touch-up after a few hours to keep the woody and oud notes prominent.
