  Okay, after two days of testing, I have a solid basis for my review. The perfume is a marvel. It’s true that it starts a bit abruptly with an opening that feels very synthetic. Leather notes are inherently synthetic, but here there’s an added sensation that I believe comes from the bergamot, which is neither fresh nor citrusy (though that might sound contradictory). It’s a very bitter bergamot that, in my opinion, doesn’t favor the sharp leather they chose for the part I like most: the dry down. The oud, also present for similar reasons as the leather in the non-initial phase, doesn’t help in the opening, accentuating that prickly sensation. It’s in the dry down that what many say appears, and what has made it famous. Yes, it’s a clone of Dior Homme Parfum (my favorite perfume of all, commercial, niche, alive or dead, I haven’t smelled anything I like more). Naturally, it’s impossible to be identical, but the similarity in the dry down is very close. In this phase, the leather starts to lose intensity, calms down, and lets itself be embraced by the creaminess of the iris and the slight sweetness of the amber. Every minute increases the pleasure, letting you drift until it ends gently in an oasis of pleasure that invites you to bury your nose in your wrist. You’re aware you’re not wearing DHP if you know it well, but the sense of well-being is practically the same. I have two different batches of DHP from the new 100ml formula: one from when it first came out and another from a few months later. Between them, I find palpable differences, especially in the leather. The first batch is identical to the old 75ml DHP. In the second batch, the leather is more pronounced; the fragrance is less smooth at the start but ends up being practically identical in its dry down. This Zara No. 2 reminds me a lot of that second batch—less refined but still as pleasant as its other ‘versions’ from older production runs. As for performance, I can only say it’s a 10. Used to expecting little from Zara, this lasts much longer than other perfumes, not just from this brand but from many designer or even niche brands, and it has excellent projection (call it what you want). Faced with such enjoyment, I can only say hallelujah to Zara and Jo Malone for bringing a scent at such a good price that is no longer exclusive to special occasions. It almost makes me wish for more moments of enjoyment with DHP than for the events themselves. Because I don’t find DHP a perfume only for extremely elegant occasions; for me, it has a rebellious touch that gives it the air of the top seducer over all other fragrances, and now with this Zara version, I can use it more often without feeling out of place.

  Alright, after two days of testing, I have enough to write a proper review. This perfume is a masterpiece. To be honest, it starts a bit abruptly with that opening note, which feels quite synthetic. Leather notes are inherently synthetic due to how the material is produced, but here there’s an added harshness that I believe comes from the bergamot—it’s not fresh or citrusy at all (which seems contradictory, I know). It’s a very bitter bergamot that, in my opinion, doesn’t complement the sharp leather chosen for the part of the fragrance I love most: the dry-down. The oud, present for similar reasons as the leather in the non-opening phases, also doesn’t help the opening, accentuating that stinging leather sensation I mentioned. It’s during the dry-down that what many are saying about this perfume truly emerges, and that’s what’s making it famous. Yes, it’s a clone of Dior Homme Parfum (my favorite fragrance of all time. Whether commercial, niche, living or dead, I haven’t smelled anything I like more than that Dior gem). Naturally, it’s impossible for it to be identical, but the similarity in the dry-down is very close. In this phase, the leather starts to soften, calm down, and is embraced by the creaminess of the iris and the slight sweetness of the amber. With every passing minute, my enjoyment of the fragrance grows, letting it take over until it gently settles into an oasis of pleasure that invites you to bury your nose in your wrist or wherever you’ve sprayed it. At this point, if you know DHP well, you’re aware you’re not wearing it, yet the sense of well-being is practically the same. In fact, I have two different batches of DHP from the new 100ml formula. One is from when it was first released, and the other is a few months later (maybe 6, I don’t remember exactly), and I must say there are quite noticeable differences between them, especially regarding the leather. The first batch is identical to the classic 75ml DHP. In the second batch, the leather is more pronounced, the fragrance is less smooth at the start, but it ends up being practically identical in its dry-down. This No. 2 from Zara reminds me so much of that second batch—less refined, yet still as pleasurable as its older production versions. As for performance, I can only say it’s a 10. Used to not expecting much from Zara, this lasts longer than other perfumes from this brand, as well as many designer or even niche brands, and it has excellent projection (call it projection; I can’t confirm the trail yet). So, faced with such enjoyment, I can only say bravo to Zara and Jo Malone for bringing a scent at such a great price that is no longer exclusive to special occasions or important events. It almost makes me desire the moments of enjoying DHP more than the events themselves. Because I don’t see DHP as a perfume only for extremely elegant occasions; for me, it has a rebellious touch that gives it the air of the ultimate seducer above all other fragrances, and now with this Zara version, I can wear it more often without feeling out of place.

  The release is the least Dior-like of the entire lineup. I did a test today: Dior Homme Parfum on one side of my neck and Bergamote & Leather Spritz on the other. After two hours, I had innocent noses smell them, and everyone said they smelled identical. Even I, knowing which is which, struggle to tell them apart. I think Jo Malone here has done something no one has before: cloned Dior Homme Parfum (I don’t know of any other clone) but with actual quality. I own several of Zara’s most durable perfumes, and this one takes the crown, even surpassing Amber Ego. What I don’t like is that it’s managed to knock Dior off its pedestal as a ‘designer perfume with niche quality.’ The good news is that if Zara brings this to the South American market, people will finally have a chance to get Dior Homme Parfum, which, as far as I know, has been out of stock since the 2020 edition. If you love Dior Homme, grab this without hesitation.

  Zara No. 2 Bergamot & Leather Spritz: This is a Jo Malone masterpiece that gives Dior a serious run for its money. It’s not just about the scent, which is very much in the DHI style, but also the performance and the price. I’ll give it a few more days to fully form my opinion, but for now, I can say with total certainty that this isn’t exclusively for women; it’s totally unisex and I’d even say it works better on men. It feels like the awkward brother of Dior Homme Intense. A wonderful fragrance at a very fair price. If you’re one of the lucky ones who didn’t buy Dior Homme Intense, here’s a proposal in that same vein—similar vibes but not identical, equally enchanting, accessible, and with more than acceptable performance. In short, a totally recommended purchase. Scent: 9.0, Projection: 1 meter for up to 2 hours, then fades but remains noticeable. Longevity: Approximately 6 to 8 hours. Recommended.

  The opening is the least Dior-like thing in the entire development. Today I did a test: Dior Homme Parfum on one side of my neck and Bergamot & Leather Spritz on the other. After two hours, I had innocent noses test it, and everyone said they smelled the same. I, knowing which is which, struggle to tell them apart. I think Jo Malone did something no one has done before: clone Dior Homme Parfum (I don’t know of any other clone) and do it with quality. I own several of Zara’s most long-lasting perfumes, and this one takes the crown, surpassing Amber Ego. What I don’t like is that it has managed to knock Dior off its pedestal as a ‘designer perfume with niche quality.’ The good news is that if this Zara scent hits the South American market, people there will have the chance to get Dior Homme Parfum, since it’s been out of stock there since the 2020 edition. If you like Dior Homme, go for this one headfirst.

  In short, it smells like woods with incense and a touch of sweet iris. It would have been a work of art if the iris had more presence and the ash-like scent was toned down a bit. Still, it’s an excellent perfume. Cheers.

  Excellent value for money, highly recommended for unisex lovers and anyone missing the class of the discontinued Dior Homme Intense. A very good creation from Jo Malone within Zara’s low-cost budget, with a clear inspiration from DHI. Leather dominates, softened by bergamot and iris; even though iris is often seen as feminine, it looks fantastic on a refined, neat, and elegant man. The trail is soft but noticeable, making it versatile for any season except days over 26°C, with amazing longevity that lasts more than 10 hours. In short, one of those Zara fragrances that slap all the big designers in the face.

  Excellent value for money, highly recommended for unisex lovers and anyone missing the class of the discontinued Dior Homme Intense. A very good creation from Jo Malone at Zara’s low-cost price point, with a clear inspiration from DHI. Leather notes dominate, softened by bergamot and iris; while iris is traditionally feminine, it looks great on a refined, neat, and elegant man. The trail is soft yet noticeable, making it versatile for any season except days above 26°C, with impressive longevity lasting over 10 hours. All in all, one of those Zara fragrances that slap the faces of big designers.

  Very original fragrance, an almost gourmand oud and a leather with lots of white floral notes. And a memorable trail of dry lavender and iris.

  Bergamot & Leather is a perfect example of creating a fragrance at a good price without sacrificing creativity. I was gifted it a few weeks ago; it hasn’t completely won me over for daily wear, but it reminds me of perfumes from twenty-five years ago, when lesser-known designers used to release something with weight and substance, without that stubbornness of today’s sticky synthetic molecules. Nowadays, popular long-lasting perfumes are a torture because of their synthetic, sickly sweet flavor. This one could be from the old days: upon spraying, it floods your senses with presence and calm, without jarring accords that scream like a flock of crows. It’s worth a try, with nuances that justify a price triple its cost. It evolves a lot, which I love. It’s chaotic to assign a gender: very masculine at the start, unisex in the middle, and genderless bordering on feminine at the end. The opening is an oud accord or thick leather-oud, typical of plastic upholstery, but it’s accompanied by a citrus tinkling of something that could be lime or resinous lavender oil. It’s inhospitable at first, but it doesn’t take long to move to the next stage: a spicy amber at 90 minutes, very much in the style of Opium pour homme. It’s not as bright or festive, but it shares some of its DNA. The 90s amber had a balsamic anise bite, and that’s what’s here. After a while, my nose tricks me into thinking it smells like vanilla: nothing artificial or herbal, but a woody, dry, vintage vanilla, very Parisian or English. If scents were fabrics, this would be hard lace: rough but sensual. Its first three hours are stable, then oily, greasy, and masculine lavender foundations appear, with nuances of citrus peels, stewed anise, tiger balms, and inherited tweeds. Only after five or six hours does the erotic yet repulsive packaging fade to reveal a whispering, cold, floral, powdery, and old-fashioned current, a mix of lily with leathers and oud, a chill of English coldness with memories of old boiseries and large windows. Charming. A poetic, rare perfume, not for every nose but usable, sometimes banal, sometimes dazzling because it’s a severe English hybrid of the 50s mixed with festive 90s perfumes. Curious and worthy of review. Decent longevity, note that it’s not an EDT. Great price. Very well done, Zara; things done right need to be said. PS: Regarding Dior Homme Parfum, it’s not that literal. They share 50% of the adult vanilla simulation DNA, but they have different openings and endings. Dior comes out with cold floral mist and then becomes what it is, a stepchild without the fresh part, with a flan aftertaste. I’d lean towards this Jo Malone: more serious, rigorous, with evident animal and monastic oud, whereas in Dior it’s residual. Another note: the lily sings operas in Dior, here it barely shows. PS II: I like the Jo Malone line for Zara. Is it the niche line? Can something at 25€ be niche? I think yes, because the term doesn’t just refer to price or ingredients, but to creative, artistic composition, for connoisseurs or an audience that doesn’t want mass trends. This Bergamot & Leather delivers. It’s risky, uncommon but not too extravagant, halfway between exotic and sober, and will please the wallets of lovers of dirty, rough oriental scents, as it is a well-made aromatic oriental with a vintage tail.

  It’s a beauty, and that’s saying a lot for someone with sensitive skin. I find it exquisite, though I do criticize it for being a bit linear. It smells like a leather chair that’s been splashed with sweet orange juice. It might sound strange, but to me, it’s delicious. Totally unisex, perhaps with a slight masculine lean. Sweet but with a lot of personality. The trail is noticeable and lasts about 8 hours. I have the roll-on version, and it’s so intense that I sometimes wish I could spray it. Every few months when I use it, I ask myself if I should buy the big bottle, and even though I’ll take a while to finish the roll-on, I’d buy it if it were available. Scent 7.5/10, Longevity 8/10, Sillage 8.5/10, Value 10/10, Versatility 6.5/10, Packaging 7/10. Yes, I would buy it again.

  I’ve tried it several times and it’s probably the best male scent from Zara so far. Although it’s marketed for women, it smells masculine or unisex, leaning more towards men. It doesn’t remind me of Dior Homme (which I associate with femininity), but rather a fresh green citrus vibe that transitions into an amber phase with a very soft oud. The rest of the time, it’s a leather scent that doesn’t seem to fit this price point: pleasant, elegant, with creamy and floral touches. It smells classy and tasty, lasts quite a while (2-3 hours of moderate projection, 6-8 hours total), and has a great price, especially since it’s signed by Jo Malone, who has done a fantastic job creating a fragrance of superior quality for what you pay. In the 30 EUR/100ml range, this is the best you can find. Au revoir.

  Bergamot & Leather is the perfect example of how to create a fragrance at a great price without sacrificing creativity. I was gifted it a few weeks ago; while it hasn’t completely won me over as a daily wear, it reminds me of perfumes from twenty-five years ago, when any minor designer could craft something with weight, body, and without that headache-inducing cloyiness of today’s sticky synthetic molecules. Anyone older than me will know exactly what I mean. Sure, there are long-lasting popular perfumes out there now, but wearing them feels like a small torture due to their artificial, sickly sweet scent. Bergamot & Leather could be one of those classics: when you spray it, it floods your senses with a presence that is calm, slow, and free of those garish designer chords that scream like a flock of crows the moment you apply them. It’s worth a try; it leaves lingering scents that feel like they cost triple the price compared to similar modern options. It also shows a very marked evolution, which I love and find fascinating in this price range. As for whether it’s masculine or feminine, it’s chaotic to assign a gender. I debate between finding it very masculine at first, unisex in the middle phase, and genderless, bordering on feminine in the dry-down. Let’s dive in. The opening features a current led by an oud accord or a thick, leather-like oud. It’s the typical formula of oud with a taste of fake plastic upholstery, but to make it palatable for everyone, it’s accompanied by a zesty citrus sparkle from something that could be lime or even resinous lavender oil. This is the most unwelcoming part, though not impossible to wear; the good news is it fades quickly to fully immerse you in the next chapter, which lasts for a good few hours. The smoky, anise-touched, oily, and narcotic oud joins the note that will dominate my nose: amber. It’s a spicy, 90s-style amber, very much in the vein of Opium pour homme. Bergamot & Leather isn’t as bright or festive, but it does share some of its DNA. A rose is always a rose, but depending on the trends, it smells different. Amber in the 80s was fluorescent and blinding like a burnt-out bulb; in the 00s, it shed its electric robin nuances to become creamy, sweet, and sensual with vanilla undertones. The 90s amber had a touch of anise with balsamic hints, and that’s the one ruling the mix here. It’s curious because it’s not listed, but after my nose gets slightly anesthetized by warm/ambery and tempered/animalic effluvia, my sense of smell tricks me into thinking I’m smelling vanilla. Not those artificial, overly sweet vanillas that make you cry, nor the herbal, cool, velvety ones I adore. No, this is a type of vanilla that’s been hit with fire—a woody, dry, vintage vanilla, very Parisian or English. If scents were fabric, this chaotic mix would undoubtedly be lace: hard, rough, yet sensual. That’s about it; for its decent three hours, it stays mostly consistent, except for some lavender foundations appearing. This isn’t the plant or leaf, but dried flower petals crushed in a mortar and reduced to a dense oil, just like a junkie reduces heroin in a metal spoon. It’s an oily, greasy, very masculine lavender that adds nuances of citrus peels, dried anise balls, tiger balm, and tweed or flannel inherited from the past. Only when it starts to fade, after five or six hours, does the erotic yet slightly repulsive perfume packaging disappear to let in a whispering current of serene, powdery, slightly outdated floral coldness. It could be a blend of lily with some remnants of leather and oud, a final gasp of English coldness with memories of old wooden bookcases and large windows letting in dull, white daylight. Charming. It’s a perfume with a certain poetry, rare, not suitable for every nose, but not so much that it’s unusable. Sometimes it seems banal, other times it dazzles because it’s a severe, English 50s hybrid mixed with more festive 90s perfumes… definitely curious and worthy of review. Decent longevity; you can tell it’s not an EDT. Great price for what it offers. Very well done, Zara; when things are done right, you have to say so. P.S. Regarding similarities to Dior Homme Parfum, it’s not that literal. They might share that dry vanilla lipstick, creme brulee vibe in the middle phase, but they have distinct openings and endings. Dior Homme Parfum starts with a beautiful cold floral butter mist before turning into what it is, and I’m not interested in that—it’s a stepchild of Dior Homme without the powdery freshness, a Dior Homme with a taste for flan and kilos of ambrette. I’d say they share 50% of their DNA, the adult vanilla simulation. If I had to pick which is better, I’d lean toward this Malone. The Dior seems redundant and somewhat vulgar; this one is more serious and rigorous. Also, in the Dior flanker, the oud is residual, barely felt as a medicinal and fruity taste at the start, whereas in Zara’s, the animalic, monastic oud is very evident. Another note that sets them apart is the lily, which sings opera in Dior, while here it’s barely noticeable. P.S. II. I like Zara’s Jo Malone line. Could it be considered their niche line? Can something for 25€ be considered niche? Sincerely, I think so, given that the term niche doesn’t just refer to price (what shameless jerks have jumped on the bandwagon) or ingredient quality, but also to composition—more creative and artistic than regular lines, something made for connoisseurs or a public that doesn’t want to know about mass trends. This Bergamot & Leather delivers. It’s risky, uncommon for the popular palate but not too extravagant to be unusable, halfway between exotic and sober, and above all, it will make the wallets of lovers of dirty, rough Arabesque scents very happy, as it’s a well-crafted aromatic oriental with a vintage dry-down.

  This perfume is a beauty; saying that for someone with as much trouble as I have with leather notes is quite an achievement. It feels truly exquisite. My only criticism is that it comes across as a bit linear. Bergamot and Leather Spritz smells to me like a leather saddle that’s been splashed with sweet orange juice. It might sound unappealing, but for me, it’s a delicious scent. It’s completely unisex, perhaps leaning slightly masculine. It’s a sweet perfume with a lot of personality. The trail is noticeable and the longevity is about 8 hours on my skin. I have the roll-on version, and this perfume is so intense that it’s one of the few times I don’t miss the spray format’s power. Every time I’ve used it over the last few months, I’ve wondered if I should get the big bottle, and honestly, even though I use such a small amount that I think it’ll take a while to finish the roll-on, I’d buy it if it’s available when I’m done. Scent: 7.5/10 Longevity: 8/10 Sillage: 8.5/10 Value: 10/10 Versatility: 6.5/10 Packaging: 7/10 Would I buy again? Yes

  Zara nailed it with this one: it’s at its absolute peak. This fragrance elevates the game, and if Chanel or YSL released it, the hype would be insane. It’s the crown jewel—inspired by Dior Homme Parfum but with its own distinct personality. It starts intense with a dense, masculine oud and leather, but the bergamot adds an interesting twist. After 30 minutes, the oud yields to amber and iris, turning sweet and powdery, while the leather lingers through the dry-down. It’s overwhelming, elegant, and unique—not for everyone; you need to know how to wear it. My wife was speechless twice I’ve worn it. It’s sublime for a winter formal event. The big difference from Dior is that Zara adds oud and evolves from masculine to unisex, whereas Dior is an ode to iris from the start. Performance is excellent, lasting over 10 hours on skin with good projection for the first three hours. It’s dense and lasts days on clothes. Not very versatile; exclusive for cold nights and formal wear. Unbeatable quality-to-price ratio that guarantees compliments.

  It’s a very, very good perfume through and through. The best Zara perfume and the one with the best longevity, lots of compliments. Projects correctly for 2-3 hours and lasts +8 hours on my skin and on clothes for several days. An economical option to the discontinued Dior Homme Parfum. It has a non-too-citrus opening and a spectacular dry-down; it was OUT OF STOCK for a long time and now they’ve RAISED THE PRICE. I give it a 100/10 for 26€ at the price I bought several units, now at 50€ I give it an 8/10, it’s still fantastic at that price.

  Zara has relaunched this Jo Malone gem again, in a different format, declaring small changes in its notes (adding vanilla and removing iris), although it smells practically the same as I remember from its previous edition. The perfume’s opening is fresh and slightly velvety thanks to the very fresh and citrusy bergamot. Then we can notice a non-invasive and very wearable leather, and I detect some iris, even though it’s not listed in the notes. The perfume evolves into something more amber and woody with a sweet touch that persists until the end of its life. Its DNA is similar to the old Dior Homme Parfum (the good one for me), but fresher in the opening and not as centered on iris as the Dior. A moderate sillage that lasts on my skin for about 2 hours and a longevity of around 7-8 hours. It’s not a very versatile perfume; I see it as more for night, cold or mild weather, and semi-formal to formal occasions. It’s not a youthful perfume. At its price (around 26€), it’s a marvel; if you put this perfume in a designer bottle, you could easily pay 80€ for it.

  Today, while walking down the street and avoiding stores so I wouldn’t bring home another hundred perfumes, something curious happened. As I went to check my wrist (a habit I have to enjoy my fragrances outdoors and one that drives me crazy, but it’s indispensable), I noticed an out-of-place note. I sniffed again, rubbing against my Doberman to make sure I wasn’t suffering from olfactory dementia, and sure enough, the mysterious note was still there. I know myself inside out; I know almost every note in the fragrances I usually wear or own, or at least how they develop on my skin. My choice today was, as expected, Bergamot & Leather Spritz by Zara, which I don’t use very often for two reasons: first, it’s discontinued and I consider it a little gem, and second, it’s not a scent I’d wear daily; it’s a citrus spark that bursts within minutes and starts to fade into a hyper-soft leather, made lighter and more wearable by lavender and emphasized by oud. Well, what was my surprise when, suddenly, after months of wearing this fragrance, I started noticing how it evolves on a SWEET base, with a certain natural vanilla reminiscence (nothing pastry-like or gourmand, and thank goodness). I rushed to the Fragrantica website: no vanilla listed. I wondered if I had traces of other perfumes on the clothes I was wearing: nope. Completely clean clothes, freshly taken from the laundry and ironed. I started thinking that maybe, after trying so many different fragrances during these Christmas holidays, I was bordering on neurosis… until, thanks to another user’s comment and a quick search on Zara’s site (it’s discontinued but still appears if you search externally), I saw that in the last batch, they decided to swap iris for vanilla. Well, after this silly novel; this fragrance is a 10, no more. If Inditex didn’t impose such limitations on all their fragrances, it could easily pass as niche or designer-level, like Dior. I’m writing this review because this vanilla note has made the perfume even more notable among everything I’ve discovered this month: with iris, it was just another fragrance inspired by the mythical Dior Homme Parfum, and I think that market is somewhat redundant after 20 years… but with vanilla, it becomes something totally different (notice how silly changing one note can be, and how much it changes everything). Bergamot & Leather Spritz becomes, after this important change, a warmer and, in my opinion, more original fragrance. What used to feel formal, mature, and even solemn has transformed into something much more airy, with no pretensions, seeming to wrap the atmosphere in a kind of almost corporeal happiness. It’s no longer a walk down Serrano in mid-December with your trench coat and leather gloves, but an escape to a hotel in the Swiss Alps, among fireplaces and Ralph Lauren sweaters. A beautiful leather, bathed in a natural glimmer of lavender and oud wood, sleeping under a vanilla reminiscence: a sweet dream, far from gourmand. Longevity and projection are exactly what other users say; an absolute blast. 2-3 hours at full strength, with a typical Zara sillage (you smell them, you notice them, but you won’t be able to perform the patriarchal ritual of filling your entire office with the scent you’re wearing), until it disappears after 8 or 10 hours. In short, if they relaunch this gem, even with Jo Malone collaboration price hikes, buy it. Even if they reformulate and lower the quality, I suppose it will still be a marvel, not to mention the price they charge for it. P.S.: Over the months, the initial citrus point has homogenized very calmly with the leather and oud, instead of just becoming less prominent, giving more protagonism to the lavender and making it more natural. Translation: beautiful, and becoming more and more beautiful.
