Vibrant Leather Extreme

Zara Vibrant Leather Extreme Opens with this lovely awesome prominent dark leather and supported by the citrusy notes. The dark leather and the saffron stays for a while but then as good as it comes It fades away and what remains is a fruity sweet cdnim like drydown. The drydown has similarities to Absolu Aventus but seems to lack the depth and quality because it's sugar sweet and stays linear like that for quite long. The longetivity is good and is significantly longer than a lot of Vibrant Leather including the New Bogoss Vibrant Leather Extreme. Longetivity similar to the Explosion. Also this Vibrant Leather Extreme also seems to have a hint of the amberwoods that we get from the usual Br540 in red temptation, a slight bit with the sugary Drydown, it makes the drydown kinda boring and nothing too special. I'm rather disappointed with the drydown after such a nice opening.

This is the best Vibrant Leather flanker that Zara ever released alongside Tobacco Elixir. This is initially very similar to the explosion, but it is bette rin every way. It starts citrusy like the other versions of the vibrant leather but it quickly shifts to earthy-leather smell. Papyrus and patchouli is very strong in the composition and candy floss or ''cotton candy'' note adds a certain sweetness that keeps this scent from shifting to full smoky-leathery side like the Vibrant Leather Mood version. It is not an aventus clone and it stands as a very unique fragrance on the designer market. It has a very good performance and can be worn for all seasons, but can be challenging for summer. For the price point, this is mind-blowing.

Finally we got a file in this web for this good fragrance. Leathery and sweet. Last for days or weeks on clothes but also a very good performance on the skin. Around 7-8 hours easily. When I first smelled it I wasn’t in love with it but after a few tries I have to say that this is the best VL flanker. I miss the crispiness of the OG opening but it grows up on you more and more until you love it. The only issue is that I only recommend this for colder days but soon I’ll try with the spanish spring and let’s see, maybe it works better than I spect. Weird thing: the notes in fragrantica spanish version are different. Well, being more accurate the English website adds much more notes than the spanish one. Happy to see it here!!

Much darker and sweeter than the OG, with less citrus in the drydown. Reminds me of the Explosion but with a more pronounced leather note. Performance is also really good, way above average for Zara. Overall an insane value for how cheap this is.

The saffron and black leather accord make this smell like suede. Very close to tuscan leather with a strong bright tangerine note instead of raspberry. It's truly beautiful, great projection and lasts for days

People around parfumo and even here say this is more about black leather, papyrus, a bit of BR540. To the gallows I say to them! Them sneaky naysayers! It's just Creed Aventus with a tad sweeter undertone. Yup, that's it, no plot twist at the end fellas. But it smells good and lasts a respectable amount of time, so it's a W in my books.

Manufactured in May 2025. This one opens with a pungent, leathery blast reminiscent of Club de Nuit Intense Man (CDNIM), but the projection is noticeably weaker, and even the leather accord lacks the strength of CDNIM—despite being labeled "Extreme." It lacks the lingering floral and lemony brightness that gives CDNIM its signature lift. After 30 minutes to an hour, the citrus is gone, leaving behind leathery and woody notes. These aren't unpleasant in themselves—quite decent in the first hours—but the sillage is questionable. Either it exists but causes olfactory fatigue (nose blindness) for the wearer, or it simply fades quickly into a skin scent. If you already own CDNIM, this might be skippable, unless you're specifically looking for a softer, more muted leather-wood drydown without the harsh citrus punch.

Smells like a cheap leather to me

If you really want to buy a vibrant leather get the classic one or the Oud. This one smells like pesticide.

Very very close to Morning Chess. I'd go for this every time as Morning Chess has worse longevity and is very expensive. In the realm of Aventus but hasn't got the ethereal notes, musk, sweetness, or natural effervescent citrus. I didn't end up buying it because I've got Aventus and too many clones. But this is a good one if you haven't got any Aventus style perfumes yet.

a cheap smelling absolu aventus. just get afnan supremacy collectors edition instead. better quality imo.

Right away recognized its Aventus dupe. Good quality price ratio.
