Vibrant Leather by Zara

I bought the Zara Vibrant Leather and was surprised to find it’s identical to Club de Nuit Intense Man. I applied two blotters, let them dry, and they were indistinguishable. The CDNIM is a projection bomb compared to this, which is much more discreet. It’s not a bad perfume, but it’s a clone of a clone.

If this lasted longer… my friend… not even Aventus.

It’s a fragrance that undoubtedly smells almost identical to what everyone already imagines; however, the longevity and sillage are very poor. I feel like I would have been better off investing these 25 dollars in a better fragrance. But the smell is very good; honestly, I wouldn’t buy it again. Once my current bottle runs out, I’ll break the vial, and if I still want the scent, I’ll probably go for the CDNI or an Arabic clone I’ve heard are very good. Good day to everyone.

It’s rich… it has a very rich masculine citrus-creamy leather scent, a bit synthetic. I use it for informal or semi-formal situations. For young people 25 and up… but I’d prefer the black beast CLUB DE NUIT INTENSE a thousand times more.

What can I say? Nowadays, everything is called an Aventus clone; everyone is tired of it, so take a break… Very strong and invasive aroma, very leather-heavy, and the patchouli stands out too much; a scent for adults, not young people, due to the leather. But after 2 hours, the performance is poor. I bought it, used it 4 times, and that was it. They’ve overhyped this fragrance, perhaps because, as they say, Andres Perfume Man gives it thousands of flowers, but the truth is, it’s not what they claim…

Lasts long enough on clothes. It’s a scent I loved so much that I ended up trying everything similar to it. It’s an Aventus clone.

Batch 2019, same as @Luisrodriguez98… the longevity is a joke; it’s a damn body mist, but it smells exquisite. It’s a ‘first impression and goodbye’ fragrance. Is it worth the price? For that money, I think there are better scents.

I bought it because of the good reviews by AndresPerfume-Man, and I had so many expectations for this perfume, but unfortunately, it was a tremendous disappointment. I sprayed it 30 times and it lasted only 1 hour on skin!!! Even Chinese perfumes aren’t that bad; on clothes, it barely lasts an hour or two even with 30 sprays. It smells good, but it’s a pity it doesn’t last at all. Literally, you won’t get through a week with a 120ml bottle because you have to reapply it constantly. Don’t buy it; it doesn’t last at all. Explorer is much better and lasts longer.

Well, this was one of my first purchases, and I was certainly encouraged by the good reviews, especially from YouTube, and its attractive price. However, I have to say the bottle is still full because this fragrance isn’t for me. I occasionally smell it out of curiosity and confirm my impression. It opens with citrus, but not a pleasant citrus; it’s very sharp and synthetic. What I can’t stand is the leather smell, like a handbag, which dominates the heart note. It smells bad to me, as if the wearer hasn’t showered or is wearing the same clothes from one day to the next. I suppose I might tolerate leather as a supporting note, but not when it’s the clear protagonist. I can’t speak to compliments or longevity because I’ve never worn it, despite owning it, but if so many people agree it’s one of the best Aventus clones, it must be true. For that reason, among others, my desire to try the much-hyped Creed fragrance fluctuates between zero and none. It’s not for me.

Everyone talks about the similarity to Aventus, but for me, it’s closer to Calvin Klein One. It’s citrusy and fresh, but the citrus is acidic, not fruity. I don’t smell lemon; rather, very acidic pineapple. I also detect patchouli and something vaguely suede-like. The synthetic note is light but noticeable. Totally worth it for the price. Longevity: over 8 hours. I don’t understand why it fades so quickly for others; I think it depends on skin pH. On me, it lasted all day; at 10 hours, my brother asked if I smelled like anything. Six sprays at noon and nothing. Maybe it depends on the batch or pH. Scent: 10/10, Longevity: 7/10, Projection: 6/10, Sillage: 8/10, Value: 9/10.

New surprise with this perfume in its small bottle version! I had already discarded it due to poor longevity, but I left it at the office, and a few days ago it lasted quite a bit during the workday—not much sillage, but definitely noticeable at a short distance, with a smoky sweet pineapple scent. I decided to give it another chance, and it was quite good. I applied 6 sprays at 6 PM with 34-degree heat, and today at 9 AM with 29 degrees, it’s still detectable. Maybe the first impression wasn’t great, but on subsequent occasions, I reiterate that the small bottle version might help with concentration. It does resemble Creed Aventus, smells great, and maybe it’s a basic perfume to enjoy even with its limitations. Give it more than one try!

Lasts about 15 minutes; it has an opening reminiscent of Creed Aventus but that’s where it stops. You’d have to douse yourself to make it last an hour. Given the price difference, there’s a huge gap—if they had better longevity, they’d crush Creed. For now, it’s just a clone. Buy the small size so you don’t regret using it up; the price is rock-bottom, but it just doesn’t last an hour.

In my opinion, it’s a solid, formal fragrance. It has limited sillage, but on my skin, I notice it for hours. Highly recommended, especially for the price.

Of course, it smells very similar to Creed Aventus, both come in liquid bottles. It resembles Aventus more than a toric joint or a mandolin. I’m surprised anyone would compare it to Terre d’Hermès, even if you stretch the reasoning. I think it’s fairer to associate it with the Chispas cologne. In my case, it’s not for me; it feels cheaply made with a slightly hysterical opening.
