Vibrant Leather Elixir

Great dupe of Aventus, truly hard to tell the difference although Aventus lasts maybe a bit longer - but not really an issue considering the price of this. I believe I had this same fragrance some years ago when it went by the name of Night Pour Homme IIII (or something similar, I don't remember). I was quite sad when I ran out and was left with Vibrant Leather that literally disappears after 20 min. and also doesn't smell as nice. 10/10 Aventus dupe, 8/10 overall (Aventus not my top favourite).

I'm in love with this smell since it came out in 2018 as original Vibrant Leather. It is my all time most complemented perfume by girls no matter how expensive other perfumes i got this one was and still is every girls favourite ( especially for the summer even tho its my SOTD). This elixir has slightly better sillage and longevity now but in the summer with all the heat it enhances it anyways.Since its only 25 its totally great value, extremly good scent, very classic masculine dry down.

Best Aventus clone ever made imo. Much more natural smelling than OG Vibrant Leather, lasts longer than Aventus, and I think I even prefer the scent - more mass appealing and less bitter/sour. I get vanilla in the drydown. Zara really did it here. (Honestly all Zara's "Elixir/Intense flankers so far are impressive, they have really stepped it up)

Finally the fragrantica page! I have mentioend in the section of original Vibrant Leather, this version is a smoother and stronger version of Vibrant Leather Elixir, which quickly introduced itself to me as one of the best (if not the best) Aventus clones out there. Highly reccomended over both Explorer and CDNIM.

While this one does not last at all, like 5 hours tops (either that or I'm going noseblind), it is a great scent. I have Afnan Supremacy Collector's Edition (dupe of Aventus Absolu not Aventus) and I believe this is very much a lot more wearable. It isn't nearly as cloying; very fresh scent.

The accords are sufficiently balanced that I enjoy its cleanliness while being spared the assault of restroom sanitizer aesthetic. Vibrant Leather Elixir doesn't quite fit my current disheveled muppet vibe, but that doesn't mean it's a bad fragrance. I would very much enjoy Elixir's on several people I know, and will definitely consider gifting a bottle or two. The appropriate demographic is men under 40 who are committed to an athletic lifestyle. Suitable for business environments when applied conservatively throughout the spring and summer months. Performance is admirable, and concentration is obviously greater than Zara's standard non-elixir line. I recommend spraying on fabric rather than skin to achieve improved longevity.

Another flanker from Zara- Vibrant leather but I'm not disappointed. It's got me compliments on the first day of wearing it and people thought it was Creed Aventus. I applied early morning and it lasted me all day and still receiving a complement after the 10hr mark. It definitely is value for money. Good buy 👍🏽

I'm getting a bit of Hacivat and a bit of Aventus Cologne in this, there are some common notes There's also a note of actual moss going on, earthy, green, dewy that I love Persistence is weak and projection is low, but's it's a zara cheapie If this had a better performance, I'd get it

Its much better than original vibrant leather quality and scent wise. There's no pineapple, opens up like aventus, montblanc explorer mix. Longevity and projection is meh but still better than Explorer. Overspraying makes it oakmoss heavy but not SNOI type of oakmoss, lighter.

Its quite literally versace eros energy and montblanc together. It opens with a strong citrus note, and a slight woody underbase. It is just versace eros energy made more synthetic, solid summer frag. 7/10 If u consider the price, 8/10

I tried this on one wrist and the classic VL on the other. I can say that this is a more persistent version. 100 ml bottle for €30. 8

On my skin it smells virtually identical to the classic Vibrant Leather. It might be a bit stronger at first, but that's about it. This elixir was a bit of a cheat, as I was hoping for significantly better performance, but the longevity is only marginally better – let's say it lasts for an hour longer at most. Projection is slightly better. Nothing special for me. 6/10

Another Aventus dupe minus the musk. Of course it's not as strong as the original but it's like $50.

This smells very synthetic and I don't like it. Opening is heavy synthetic citrusy, dries down to a bamboo/oakmoss heavy and citrus fragrance cheap smell). It's very similar to Club de Nuit Intense Man edt. If you want a better quality alternative for Aventus, go for Afnan Supremacy Silver instead.

When I first brought this I was very much in love with it. But since re purchasing a bottle of 2025 creed aventus although reformulated to sh*t and all that yadda still nothing can touch the quality of it. This is very in your face right from the spritz. Lacks depth and is very one dimensional. Doesn't dry down to anything else the top notes are also the middle and bottom notes. Very sour and screechy. Good for an alternative. But nothing even remotely touches the original and I don't even care what anyone else says

A colleague wears this and it's amazing. A stand out. Delicious and it seems to last all day with a lot projection. Update...the same colleague picked me up a bottle from the city. This is heavenly...bright citrus to wake you up, grounded by patchouli. People like it and it has that more-ish effect...they want to get closer. It's bracing and I love it.

Really disappointed with this. Initial burst smells great but seems to pretty much disappear on my skin within a matter of minutes. Tried over spraying to see what results I got but still don't get any projection at all. Becomes a skin scent so quickly. I wouldn't bother with this one. One of the biggest disappointments in my collection.

@ Nostro200: it’s totally reformulated. It’s not pumped up by 3%. It smells different. Not a scam. Please try it. Compare. I get solid 6 hrs on skin and +12 hrs on clothes. A shirt thrown at the dirty clothes bin smelled like it after 4 days, I’m not exagerating. Scam not scam, it smells GOOD!

From what I hear, its just about 3% more concentrated. the OG edp is 80% ethanol, this one is 77% ethanol.. The ELIXIR word is just a MARKETING scam. The price difference is just 6€ more for the elixir version (20€ vs 26€). you are getting an extra 30 minutes of longevity max.

One of two; or I get nose blind extremely fast, or it fades away within 2h. I would hope the former is true. Scent is fine, nothing new, but the sillage/longevity on my skin is very bad.

Zara has really been milking the Vibrant Leather series more than I expected! This one better be long-lasting than the original since I have one and it fades away quickly.

Tried it in store and it smells like OG Vibrant Leather from a few years back and not the newer watered down version. Longevity is quite good and should last a few hours.

This reminds me of the beloved Sublime Cedar which everyone love but discontinued. I bought one after I tested in store because I love Zara SC.

What’s the phrase ? “Ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” I’m actually surprised they haven’t made More flankers of the Rich Warm Addictive fragrance.

Try it. It’s good. Lasts long Smells better than all mainstream aventus clones Good price That’s my opinion on this batch

26€ Rather spend +4€ and buy CDNIM and get something actually worth it's price

Nice , very close in the drydown to Al Haramain L'Aventure Intense.
