Stupendous
Leather is the main protagonist here! It's good to see that Zara's perfumes have more attention, due to the visibility of their advertisements, as seen, the improvement applied to each release that has been appearing on the store's shelves!
Vibrant Leather is well constructed bringing an immediate fresh feeling! It has citrus touches and a bittersweet aroma reminiscent of tea infusion, but all well combined and in the right measure!
The Bamboo here is dry and resembles places decorated with wood, but the refreshing feeling of tea still remains, leveraging the feeling of comfort that it expresses right from the first spray on the skin!
Being a fragrance that refers to immediate freshness, it is necessary to reapply it with some frequency, as it has a relatively weak fixation and projection, something the brand needs to improve. Although we cannot demand everything, since the price is low!
Perfect for the office, family lunches, meeting friends, or even just to impress someone on a spring/summer day! I use it more frequently at higher temperatures, blending well with the climate.

It's good perfume, the aroma is good. Fresh on the way out, with citrus fruits giving it an air of itself, but it doesn't stay on the skin for long. Then the spice show begins during drying. Cardamom with nutmeg, a somewhat aphrodisiac combination, were it not synthetic... When it is closer to the skin, woody notes appear. The one that stands out the most to my nose is the sandalwood, which ends up combining well with the others.
It does not have a remarkable performance, it is reasonable for its typology and its current price. But I think it may depend on the climate, the hotter and more humid it is, the better it will behave.
It's a good scent, nothing extraordinary or different, but it might be worth it for those who are starting to collect or simply for those who want a pleasant scent for daily use.
In my opinion, there are more valid options, with a denser aroma, more present, bolder proposals. But it's up to each one to decide what's best for them. Each nose, its sentence!

Peach candy? Hello Bellini!
I am a frequent consumer of Zara's perfumery and as is normal, as soon as this collection came out I tried all the existing options. As soon as I found this gem called Vibrant Cities In St Tropez, I fell in love.
Right at the beginning I felt at the seaside, on a beach drinking a refreshment, almost as if I were on the French Riviera. But this refreshment is not essentially citric, it is strangely sweet and bitter at the same time. For a moment, I was on the beach at Bouillabaisse drinking a Bellini.
Longevity is good (about 7h) if we consider that it is a Zara perfume (it usually fails in performance) and even more so it is a summer perfume. The projection is exactly the same, but it should be noted that with extreme heat you need to be careful with the spray.
The bitter touch I feel after hours on my skin is reminiscent of the original Vibrant Leather, because, despite everything, this one has its DNA. In general, it was what I liked most about the line, perhaps because it is a different proposal from the others and even from the current male perfumery market.

It's ok
As a connoisseur of this line, I can start by saying that between the EDT and the EDP, the latter is clearly ahead. Even compared to the Emblem, another one I've had, the Legend EDP turns out to stand out.
Pleasant and fresh smell, right on top. The bergamot stands out in an initial phase, but minutes later comes the scent of very smooth leather, with a light but elegant touch of cedar. It doesn't smell like animal leather, far from it, it's almost aromatic. Even the notes of wood are very delicate.
During one day (around 12:00, assuming I applied it the first time before leaving for work at 8:00 am), I had to reapply once more during the afternoon (around 3:00 pm) because at lunch time neither I nor anyone else felt the fragrance (it was close to the skin). But that doesn't surprise me, even though it's an EDP (still way better than EDT).
The projection is reasonable, but if we consider the fact that it is an EDP it leaves something to be desired (in the first hour it's good, but then it's just close to the skin).

Beautiful perfume
Santal 33 is, to my nose, a unique perfume, woody, aromatic, with spices, something floral and with a touch of leather.
Well built, with a wonderful opening that transits between woody and floral. In the body it gradually evolves to a woody but with a mixture of leather and papyrus.
At times it seems to me to be slightly powdery and thus varies pleasantly until the end of its long duration. But it also has some overtones of pickles, though not a problem for me.
A versatile, elegant fragrance, with an excellent performance of around 9 hours (I only used it in mild/cool weather), projection lasting close to three hours (about two armfuls around), it does not invade or go unnoticed.
It may not easily please the wearer and the surrounding environment, but the beauty of perfumery is this, the constant challenge.
