Gourmand Leather

Gourmand Leather by Zara is a sweet, powdery, gourmand leather fragrance that strongly resembles Jean Paul Gaultier Ultra Male. It opens with bright citrus notes—bergamot and lemon—that quickly soften into a soft, gourmand heart dominated by vanilla, tonka bean, and a smooth iris note. The drydown reveals a rich, sweet, and slightly leathery core, with a soft powdery softness reminiscent of baby powder or a suede bag. Very few users report a strong synthetic or medicinal scent, but a few note that it can fade quickly or feel overly sweet once it settles. It performs best in colder weather—autumn and winter—where its warmth and projection shine. Despite the strong resemblance to Ultra Male, some note it lacks depth and oomph, appearing slightly diluted or lighter, though remaining remarkably durable on the skin and in clothing for up to 12 hours. The perfume is best suited for night wear, clubbing, casual dates, or playful social occasions rather than formal or professional settings.
