What wearers say
“Gourmand Leather by Zara is a clone Ultra Male by Jean Paul Gaultier. And it is strikingly similar. However there is a difference in the opening of both. Gourmand Leather is lacking the peach note of Ultra Male. As it dries down they become more and more similar. Longevity of about 12 hours on me. Lasts a long time on clothes also. I would say that is has good projection for about 2-3 hours. Well worth the price. I picked this up for €10 for 150ml in the winter sales (bought two). So keep a look out for this during the sales, incredible value if you get it at a crazy price like that.”
“I tried it and it was a bit too sweet for my taste. But my wife liked it. A week later we visited two Zara stores and it was sold out in both of them.What I can tell from my limited test: long lasting, with heavy sillage.I ended up getting 9.0 which I think is similar, with maybe less sillage. And four other Zara perfumes, that I'm currently reviewing on this site. These perfumes have a surprisingly good quality for the price.”
“I tried this today at my local Zara store. It truly does smell very, very similar to JPG Ultra Male (I'd say the top notes are almost identical). So far this is the most accurate clone from Zara I've ever smelled. Plus my nose detects a hint of chocolate in this, which explains the "gourmand"Both projection and performance are NOWHERE near as good as UM, which is expected. But overall it's really nice fragrance and definitely worth checking out.If you're looking for a lighter, weaker, but more affordable substitute for Ultra Male, look no further.”
