A unique take on a popular DNA
When I saw the name Vibrant Leather & Violet Elixir my mind instantly went to Dior Fahrenheit so I was initially disappointed when it turned out not to be a dupe of Fahrenheit Le Parfum. The notes of leather and violet are most defiantly present though, the connection to the original Vibrant Leather is there but it is not so much leaning in the Aventus direction. I have never smelled Hacivat, so I can not comment if it is in that direction either. After letting it settle for some time and a couple wearings I finally figured it out: It smells almost exactly like Emir Cedrat Essence (Cedrat Boise inspiration) with added violet. Both are thick, creamy, citrus and woods with the Emir being more of a higher heat spring and summer night vibe thanks to it being being more citric and slightly lighter and fresher. The Zara is also super versatile but comes of a bit more heavy and earthy so would be more suited to mild weather in fall and spring days.
