Vibrant Leather Eau de Parfum

I'm a woman, I went into Zara and tried all 3 at the same time: Sunrise on the Red Sand Dunes (Imagination dupe), Night Pour Homme (Sauvage dupe), and Vibrant Leather (Creed Aventus dupe). At first Sunrise made the biggest impression because it was very different from typical men's fragrances BUT after 10 minutes I changed my mind completetly!! I started not to like it, and I liked the other 2 much more that are more classic men's scents. I don't remember the original perfumes well, but even without knowing them, these smell great and also familiar.(especially night) On theory I like the smell of tangerine as perfume, but in practice not. More traditionally scents were more sexy and calming

Dnası güzel ama fazlalık var karmaşık bir koku

I really doubt there is any leather in it; it doesn't smell like leather. It smells like cheap liquid soap with a sharp bergamot scent—you know, the kind you find in hotels—exactly the same, no difference at all.

This was an instant pick for me, as soon as I tested it at the store. I think I paid CAD $25 for it and it was totally worth it. Super nice smell, easy to wear, versatile, and surprisingly got me a handful of compliments from both men and women. After I depleted the bottle, I blind bough Armaf CDNIM , and I gotta say , I don't enjoy it nearly as much as I enjoyed Vibrant Leather. To me, VL is a solid cheapie and a great gateway to the Aventus DNA.

It does smell like creed, but not that sophisticated. Overall for the price, it's super worth it

Im sorry, I tried giving this a chance but it is completely disgusting. Horrible bitter / sour leather. The only reason I purchased this is because I don't have a proper "summer" cologne in my collection and this was really cheap. I'm kinda shocked by the rating here, because I cannot imagine ever actually wearing this. The opening is straight bitter citrus with a hint of gross steering wheel leather, and it never gets better.

Let me tell you gentlemen, I have a taste for oldschool fragrances, but I truly do enjoy modern inexpensive releases too. But this, I sprayed it on skin, skipped the tester strip beache I tough oh well its an inspired by of aventus. This is Aventus, with the base note of creeping white gray household MOLD 😭😭

Went to a restaurant and got a compliment from the host. It's very fleeting but enjoyable. I am not a fan of aventus/hacivat, and yes this Zara got that dna, but it doesn't bother me.

I've been using it for a while now, and I have to say that I actually enjoy smelling it on other people more than wearing it myself. The citrus opening feels quite bitter to me, almost like the scent of a bitter orange mixed with bergamot. I also think the sillage is stronger than the wearer might perceive, especially during the first hour. For example, someone at my gym wears the same fragrance, and I can easily detect it from a distance without even knowing exactly where it's coming from. When you're the one wearing it, however, you quickly become accustomed to it and stop noticing it as much, even though it remains quite noticeable to others. If you smell it closely on the skin, you can pick up additional notes and nuances, but the two facets that dominate the composition for me are the bitter bergamot and the leathery accord. Overall, I think it's a good fragrance and I can understand why it's popular. If you enjoy that combination of bitter bergamot and leather, there's a good chance you'll appreciate it. However, if you prefer your citrus fragrances to lean more toward a fresh, lemony brightness rather than a bitter, slightly sharp citrus profile, I probably wouldn't recommend it. In my case, the blend of bitter bergamot and leather became somewhat repetitive over time and ended up causing a bit of olfactory fatigue.

One of the best smelling aventus adjacent scents, but the longevity is terrible. Warm day today and I re-sampled on the back of my hand around 3 hours ago and only have the faintest skin scent left

Saw this at Winners for $9.99 CDN (100ml Nov 23 batch) and jumped on that box. Have been wanting to try it for awhile. As far as the scent itself, it's my favorite and the closest of the Aventus style fragrances I've tried (CDNM, L'Aventure, Explorer, Victor No 9, Supremacy Silver). Smooth and classy, not harsh. It's the only one that I get more than a hint of pineapple. It all works. The leather, bamboo, patchouli. One of my best purchases. And the bottle design is simple and gorgeous. Downside? Like everyone mentions, the longevity. But I think it more has to do with nose blindness and not the scent itself. First day I tried it, it was nuclear. Lasted a good 9 hours. Strong whiffs of it. Couple days later I tried it for work and upon first spray, I barely smelled it, and it disappeared fast. But I'd still smell it in the air from time to time throughout the day and it's fantastic. Tonight is the same, great in the air when moving around, but otherwise gone on skin. Wish I could smell it strong. It would be my main fragrance.

First impression from spraying on paper: opens really fresh citrusy but I also get an outdoorsy, stoney vibe (like stone not like weed). Leathery/papery/smokey smell is what comes next. Edit 5-6-2026: I'm beginning to like this a lot. Better than Summer Breeze. Sweet but not too sweet. Edit 9-5-2026: This is just very fresh, a bit dark and classy. Edit 27-7-2026: I wore both this and Aventus yesterday. Aventus begins darker, Vibrant Leather is brighter and more citrusy. The drydown is almost the same though.

I'll always recommend Vibrant Leather for any guy looking for the Aventus type of scent. Not the fragrance enthusiast, but the casual fan. This original version is all you need. Of all the clones out there, this one is very accessible to try before you buy. This is among the cheapest, it smells about 80% similar, and it's not strong. The fact that it's light is a good thing. It opens fresh and bright, with the citrus giving an energetic kick. It dries down to a more masculine (but light) leather. It's perfect for pretty much all situations, but not as much in cold winters. For a fresh, anytime, stylish scent that won't offend anyone, Vibrant Leather is a great choice.

It smells too light makes me think of plastic. Like many classical masculine perfumes.

its alright, the performance kinda sucks, but it smells super nice. good to wear for nicer events that dont last all day, and smells just like creed lol

Masculina, barata y su formulacion aun siendo una copia de Creed Aventus sigue percibiendose como original ya que no se siente que nadie la use el aire en ningun lugar. Por el precio no se puede pedir nada mas.

The origin of perhaps Zara's best line, created by Jerome Epinette, brings us a fragrance clearly inspired by one of the best men's perfumes of the last decade: Aventus from the former house of Creed. Vibrant Leather arrived at a time when Aventus was still considered niche by many. It's not the first dupe by any means, but it came before the boom in Arabic perfumery and before Club de Nuit Intense Men became the phenomenon it was. Vibrant Leather opens with a nuanced bergamot citrus, both sweet and vibrant. This opening seems to rest on a leather base, which is clearly synthetic and likely begins with a slightly dirty musk, thanks to the bamboo and patchouli for that sweet warmth, finishing with papyrus, which adds a smoky touch. It's worth noting that the pineapple is present, but very subtly. Frankly, Vibrant Leather is about 80% similar to Aventus; it lacks the same refinement and robustness. You could say it's the skeleton of Aventus. Vibrant Leather has a sweet, citrusy pineapple scent at the top, followed by a smoky leather base. The best analogy I can think of is like when the scent of a men's perfume gets trapped in clothing, and when you wash and move a shirt, it releases those animalic hints. The fusion of human body odor with the perfume—fruity, citrusy, musky, smoky, and fruity—emanates a clean, bold, and sensual masculine scent. The difference lies in the fact that Aventus is more crystalline, more refined, more natural, and has more presence. If Aventus is a high-quality cotton shirt, Vibrant Leather is a somewhat more affordable option. Dubbing Aventus is a safe bet these days. Aventus itself could be categorized as a unique scent on the market, and there are dupes of all kinds, from Arabic fragrances like Armaf, Afnan, and Lattafa, to premium perfumes like Loewe and mainstream brands like Versace. Some are more citrusy, others spicier, some fruitier, some more suited to evening, among others. Vibrant Leather could be considered a dupe that tries to be quite similar, so it aims for that clean, citrusy, and easy-to-understand aura. It projects well, from medium to high for two hours, then fades to a faint scent. It lasts for six hours, nothing out of the ordinary. It's a versatile scent, suitable for everyday wear, the office, relaxed mornings, and mild heat. It's neither overpowering nor invasive. 3/4, nothing to add, it's a solid option within Zara, and for the price, you could say that among the Aventus dupes, there are better options than Vibrant Leather, but almost all of them are more expensive than Zara's gem. Only Vibrant Leather Oud surpasses it, which is undoubtedly a masterpiece from the fast-fashion house. It's highly recommended because it's an easy-to-use perfume. For anyone wanting to get started with perfumery, this is a safe, affordable, quick-to-understand, and endearing masculine scent that, despite being very common, is a fragrance that will go down in history, and I'm sure it will stand the test of time and mass popularity.

If hell is real it’d smell like this; Top notes of dirty filthy pervert and base notes of genuine danger and feeling like prey- an abomination to God

i wear this to the gym its very nice

i got this fragrance for my birthday from a girl- friend, so it has the female approval. Since it last a little above 3 hours on my skin it is great choice for a quick coffee or gym fragrance.

Actually got this as a gift and I can't lie it smells good and it's one of my everyday fragrances but the longevity is soooo weak man by the time I go to work I can't smell anything on my palms or in my clothes it's a good fragrance but if the longevity is better it's a great fragrance

Smells very good, better than others from Zara

Worst Aventus dupe out there. Smelling synthetic and it lasts 5 minutes on my skin.

Such a beautiful bottle wasted on a poorly performing cologne. Scent: 10/10 Longevity: 2/10 Sillage: 2/10

An affordable and refreshing citrus cologne that is nice to use whenever you don't feel like using a fancier fragrance. It's similar to Aventus, although with a harsher opening and subpar performance.

Great VFM fragrance! I like it more than Aventus but you cannot expect a fragrance of this price point to project or last like it.

Easy to wear affordable and accessible. Does not project or last - need to overspray or refresh throughout the day. The opening can be a little wonky relative to the OG - a little harsh on the alcohol. Not sure that it’s truly an EDP as labelled - seems weaker than advertised. Recommend if you can get it cheap.

Zara are serious abt their parfum line. Concentration 20/ 80. Like it alots, very close to Aventus.

Surprisingly this actually last more than 8 hours on me! The leathery scent is my first leathery scent of all. Whenever I got the chance the get them, I will always get this bottle. 10/10 easy!

I own Creed Aventus, CDNIM EDP and now this. It's a dupe of CA and smells very similar. Performance is in between moderate and average, over spray if you want more. If you like CDNIM DNA you will like this. I also layer Fursan over these and I literally explode with goodness, seriously try it.
