- čas přidán 10. 09. 2024
- Dior Homme Cologne is probably one of the best summer colognes for men. but there's a cheaper option. Zara are well know for creating cheaper fragrances that smell similar to more expensive designer fragrances. Vibrant Leather Summer smells very similar to Dior Homme Cologne but it can be bought for a fraction of the cost. In this video I compare the two and hopefully help you decide which one you should go for.

i've sprayed DHC and ZVLS on each hand on three different days - testing in hot weather , tbh before the tests i budgeted $110 for DHC but after i bought 3 bottles of ZVLS , it's that good, i could still smell it hours after DHC is gone.
I own both and i can definitely that that Vibrant Leather Summer has way better performance that DIOR Homme Cologne. You can overspray it without a problem and it will last easily the whole day.
Even the day after you will smell it strongly on your clothes. The Dior is maybe the more refined Scent but nobody will notice it. Zara is in the first seconds a little bit alcoholic. After that it`s a very very pleasent Scent. price-performance is outstanding. I love the Dior but i receive pain every time i use the sprayer.
ever since I received my Dior Homme Cologne, it has become my most used fragrance among my collection.
The bottle is amazing
I actually prefer vibrant leather summer. It's a little bit less flowery. They are really close though.
Pitää kokeilla
@@fragman4521 Ei se silti mun mikään lempi hajuvesi ole. Mutta tosi lähellä tuota Dior homme Colognea ja vähän parempi kuten sanoin. Ei kestä iholla kauhean kauaa, mutta vaatteilla ihan ok. Hintaan nähden ihan hauska.
Oh wow finally I hear this from someone! I totally get neroli notes here too, I even spray Neroli Portofino on left arm and Dior Homme Cologne on my right arm and there is neroli vibe coming out from DHC. I love DHC so much I got 200 ML bottle.
How much is that
Just picked up another bottle of Dior Homme Cologne yesterday. I'll have to get my nose on the Vibrant Leather Summer to see how it compares (ginger note sounds note)... especially for the price!! I'd love to hold on to the Dior longer if I could.
100% Agree with the drink association Chris, DHC has always reminded me of cloudy lemonade/fanta lemon🍋. Great video as always👏
Cheers Max👍🏻
I got me a Dior homme cologne 125ml for 10 usd in a local sale, now beat that !
I blind bought the zara based upon his previous video. I do enjoy it, performance is on par for a freshie.
Hi Chris, i smelled in the store of Zara, Vibrant leather Summer and its an excelent clone of Dior Homme cologne. Its a cheapie but its very good, Zara Vibrant leather summer. I agree with you of every aspects in these two fragances. Nice vídeo!, Chris you stayed in my country Portugal in Lisbon recently, come back again! Im from Porto in Portugal and one Day i realy like to meet you personaly. If one Day you visit Portugal again you are welcome. Regards Chris!👍👌
Big fan of your country!
Hi, i have to disagree that ginger is only difference. I dont detect much difference in the opening, both are bright and crisp citruses. Main difference is that zara is woody in the base and dhc is musky. For me i actually prefer zara more because of drydown. Longevity is a bit better with zara, 1,5h projects and 3 more hours as skin scent. Doesnt smell synthetic, i already have backup bottle after using zara almost everyday.
Amazingly I prefer Zara than Dior, and more having this amazing price, and what's more Zara performs far better than DHC.
Ive never smelled dior homme cologne but ive got zara vibrant leather summer, jimmy choo man ice and mercedez benz cologne which all apparently are dior cologne inspired
does Zara VLS smell like Jimmy Choo man ice?
Own both. I prefer the Zara. It has better performance and I like the dry down better. It’s deeper and slightly spicer in the dry down.
jimmy choo man ice is another good alternative with a very similar scent profile to the dior homme cologne.
@@Denco12 yes but we cant get that green bottle of mbc in the usa
Your reviews are gettin so much better. You didn't left anything out man. Well done thank you
Thanks for the honest comparison with this more affordable alternative.
Vibrant leather summer is a fantastic summer holiday scent for the price and is one of zaras better fragrances. Mercedes benz cologne gives a very similar vibe to these two.
Agreed
Never tried the other one, but I made the mistake of blind buying Dior Cologne! It smells like orange kitchen or bathroom cleaner or even a deodorizer! So since it has that citrus smell, I figure that it has vitamin C in it,so I spray it on my neck at night to keep the Ronavirus away! 😆
I got Dior Homme Cologne recently following you picking it up, it’s nice although UK weather doesn’t give much time to use it as I only use this on really warm sunny days. Falls into the Givenchy Gentleman Cologne bracket and I get similar performance off both.
, I have blue hole it's supposed to be a dior homme cologne clone the same as from paris to new York, and vibrant leather summer , the longevity was shocking it lasted 2 hours all I got was lemon for 5 minutes then a cheap smelling jasmine note which smelt like dish soap. Please don't compare a junk zara fragrance with a dior fragrance . Zara fragrance's are the same quality juice as Beckham, playboy, and avon .
Love Dior Homme Cologne, and haven’t tried the Zara. Based on your video, I will try it out. Thanks Chris!
I'm about a year late but I'd say its 90% similar to DHC do agree it has a slight sharper and stronger feel probs cos the ginger but I'm a uni student £20 vs £85 is a huge difference 😂
Totally agree with the ginger note, it is the main note except at the opening. Personally, I do prefer the opening because it feels more citrusy like a lemonade.
Thanks for the video Chris. I have and love Dior Homme cologne. Summer favourite. Cheers
Zara fragrances smell cheap. Their pricing is spot on. There is that cheap DNA in all of them. I tried recently Vibrant leather. Man, how can someone compare it with Aventus? Yes the idea of Aventus is there but not comparable really.
I totally agree ..vibrant leather is terribly synthetic.however there are a couple that smell really nice and natural(jo malone line is nice,natural collection etc.)
Vibrant Leather is very close to Aventus, i have a 2017 bottle
Unfortunately you are right... Many people apparently can't smell that DNA or distinguish. The price fits the product and the bottle quality exceeds the price. So it's never a bad buy
lol yes that cheap DNA is so obvious especially when u smell the fragrance in the air and not upclose. I guess its that first spray that fool most ppl giving the impression that it is a great fragrance. It only takes a few mins to realise how much of a synthetic mess this is and the flag is right there but ppl refuse to see it 8£ for a bottle of VLS ! They r obviously using the cheapest ingredients and tried to cover it with a slight ginger note, if there was any type of quality or high quality ingredients this frag wont be that cheap. Yes it is affordable for ppl that cant afford designer frags but please dont compare it to a masterpiece like DHC.
@@savakaradzic436 those are really worth it!
love that outro chris! Great vid as always!
I'm really impressed with the suprise handbreak turn at the end; and for a good reason! 100ml of a frag you're unlikely to get through in 5 years! Good f**king point!
Another great video Chris. With adding the ginger I think Zara have taken the approach of 'if less is more then just think of how much more, more is'
Great video man and I enjoy watching it. Keep up the amazing fragrances videos 😊👍
Thanks for the comparison. I enjoy my DHC, and like ginger so I may have to grab a small bottle of the Zara,
Great fragrance comparison. Good detail in the video
Really like this comparison. Congrats, man!
Great review Chris I enjoy and was suprised by tha Zara for the price my mate bought 2 bottles he loves it 👍🏻
Currently wearing Zara Vibrant Leather Summer as its a great dumb reach. Its currently OOS but liisted at £7.99 in the UK, which is crazy cheap. Bottle even has a has a magnetic cap, whats not to like ;-)
what do you think of the new limited edition vibrant leather?
Dior Homme Cologne
Great comparison Chris. I would have loved Dior homme cologne to have had tiny touch of their signature Iris. I do love that outro 🔥
Yes I think the Iris might have just added something special. Cheers Tony👍🏻
yea, had vibrant leather summer as well, togeter with vibrant leather .. the same 60ml just for testing
I'm wondering what the difference is between Vibrant Leather Summer and Vibrant Leather Cologne. Same note breakdown.
VL summer is the same as VL cologne, zara just changed the name and bottle. Which is a shame imo because the cologne bottle was nicer with the blue stem.
@@maxlandsborough4138 It's not mate. The ginger is even stronger and the Mandarin is swapped for Bergamot in VLC. VL Summer is a far superior citrus scent.
@@maxlandsborough4138 thry changed it to avoid controversy with DIOR.
Great video again Chris
Zara vibrant leather cologne and zara vibrant leather summer is that same thing right???
Sounds good and very affordable , going to check it out at some point Chris because dior homme cologne is a nice one !! Thanks for the info .👍
Great review and comparison mate, I haven’t tried the Dior Homme Cologne but I love the Zara frag and I enjoy the Ginger note too. I doubt I will get the original unless it blows me away when I do smell it. Thanks for the info re the grapefruit blossom, every day is a school day. 👍🏻🙏🏻
If you like the Zara you're all good mate. Definitely wouldn't get both.
Can i wear dior homme colone with dior homme sport at the same time?
ZARA wins, that's all !
Hey Chris, great vid! Have you tried vibrant leather cologne? Quite similar to vibrant leather summer but lasts longer and comes across as more gingery :)
As I understood it, VLS is just the new name for VLC...
I own both, they're very very similar, but not the same fragrance :)
@@Tune2001 that's correct.
Currently on sale for £9.99!! grab it while its in stock!
In summer, I use Zara V.L. Cologne as a spray deodorant with 5-6 sprays and another summer scent to my neck as well. Longevity is nice, smells good, but is similar to very nice lemon cologne. I don't know if it is same with V.L. Summer. But Zara continues to sell both of them in here.
Chris talk to us about Dior collection privée fragrances or maison Christian Dior is how they call it today
It's not just you m8. 1st whiff I thgt Schweppes lemonade 🤷♂️ it's not my favourite blind buy and had I smelled it b4 buying I think I'd of probably just bought a backup homme original or maybe even a 40ml tobacolour 🤔
Bro the zara website must be having a clearance sale or something. Or their frags are super cheap. I jist picked up 7 bottles for 48$
So you're the reason they're out of stock 😭
Do you think Dior Homme Cologne is better than Dior Homme Sport 2017? I can't decide between the two
Hmmm I'd say they're equal
hi Chris how does Zara Vibrant Leather summer v Merc Cologne the green bottle I think they stopped making it but I bought 125 mill last year and its the best value for money
Chris do you have tested Acqua di Parmas Bergamotto di Calabria? I think it is pretty similar to DHC but not so flowery and more fruity. The Citrus I think is way better there. Thats why I would not reach for the Dior.
I've not tried either of these so this comparison and insight into both is especially helpful.
Appreciate it :)
is there too much quality difference between the dior and other niche citruses like Xerjoff renaissance ?
I have most dior homme' the iris is only prominent in the dior eau. That can be powdery. The rest i don't get a lot of iris
I just have no clue why Zara put the word leather in the name! I hate leather scents and I would never buy the Zara just because of that!
I live in the Caribbean so summer all year long :(. I think Zara will work perfect here in DR 🇩🇴
Thank you for the video, although music at the end make me want to subscribe again. What is it, what guitarist? You are the only reviewer that play Metal. Awesome, thank you very much and I will be coming back to make sure you are alive and well sir.
I'll be here🤘🏻
Literally just ordered a 200 ml of Dior homme cologne, got it for just under 100$. It’s literally the last thing I smelled in a store before everything went to shit everywhere, seems like the Zara would be more of a take of ysl y eau fraiche
Chris its a 60ml, not 30ml ;) Nice Video, looking forward to the Aventus comparision!
Whoopsie!
What a even better deal
Have been enjoying Vibrant Leather Summer on the hotter days. Really like the scent but won't rebuy as it only lasts around half an hour before is becomes a skin scent.
Overspray it and spray it on your clothes. You will smell it even days after.
@@cigarocean I do as it's cheap but performance is still poor.
A really extensive study as a comparison between the two. I’m not normally tightfisted but somehow feel their Dior Homme Cologne is a little overpriced. These lighter citrusy fragrances for some reason never seem to last at all on my skin.
Not tried the DHC, the Zara one is nice to me tho
I wish the openings lasted more in these dior's. Sport only last 5 minutes with that blood orange opening
I havent tried allthings from Zara. I think i wiil looking for smt of those. 🤔
I feel like we need to have those batman fight labels for some of those citrus top notes. 💥 🍋 💥 ZiNG!!! Pow!!! ZeST!! BosH! Maybe not bosh. Sounds like a parody vid of Zoologist Bat. 🤣 I picked up Zara's Blue Hole years back, and I'm pretty sure it's nearly the same scent. Still prefer Chrome Sport if I'm honest - it has a much better balance between the citrus, ginger and musk, plus it has the nice grass accord. Overall, a great comparison Chris.
You always come up with ideas I wish I'd thought of!
nice man. keep going 😁
'Zara Homme Cologne Gigembre'
I love what u said about DHC and i find this to be more of a review of DHC than a comparison, but i disagree with you about VLS the similarity in the scent might be there ok but theres so much difference between them VLS smells cheap, very synthetic and its not even close to DHC's performance i would spray VLS and after 45mins its completly gone, that cheap Zara DNA is so detectable! the price says it all though, if there was any type of high quality ingredients in VLS they wont sell it for that cheap, the bottles alone cost them 4£
My niqqa frag
Vast majority of Zara fragrances smell amazing, problem is they are some of the worst performing fragrances ever made.
Where can I buy Zara at in the United States
Try Zara
So, when is Smoulder coming out?
To be specific, in the future some time😉
Awesome I'll be sure to mark my calendar!
For me, many fragrances need time to macerate, and this is when the true character emerges.
Zara try to make cheap and similar alternative for expensive fragrances. Some people may like it, but those who attend to fragrance as an artwork and respect to creativity don't like it
Just don't care ma 7asayt 5alas kenet 3refet
Check my review on Jimmy choo man Ice, similar to these scents
You can't compare these 2 just because they smell a bit similar. It's all about the quality of the the ingredients inside. It's like comparing a red Peugeot with a red Porsche.
I feel they are much closer in similarity than a Peugeot and a Porsche!!!!
@@FRAGMENTAL OK, but one is a luxurious and expensive brand and the other one a Zara for 15 bucks. We can't compare the quality between these 2 or can we?
Munir Cheikhelard Vibrant Leather Summer smells just as good or even better. Lasts on me 10+ hours and projects well in the heat. I Had Dior Homme Cologne and it barely lasted 2 hours on my skin, extremely disappointed for what I paid (100 dollars) The Zara is the winner (Only paid 20 dollars). Dont be a snob. I gave my Dior Homme Cologne away and bought a backup bottle of the Zara. The fact that the “Luxurious” and “Expensive” brand gets beaten by a 20 dollar fragrance should say something. Dont fall for the marketing bs and expensive price tag of the Dior.
Smells like soap in a public restroom
