Vibrant Leather Oud

A fresh, citrusy woody scent with subtle smoky and incense notes, this fragrance captures the DNA of Creed Aventus while offering a darker, more mature interpretation than its predecessor. It opens with a bright bergamot that quickly blends into a warm, incense-tinged woodiness, enhanced by a delicate amber base. Though it lacks any real oud or leather, the composition feels intentionally nuanced—less a linear Aventus clone and more a distinct variation with greater depth and a smoother dry-down. The fragrance performs as expected: moderate, with projections fading quickly beyond two hours, making it best worn as a personal scent or layered on clothing. Many appreciate its non-fragrant quality and subtle elegance, especially for casual or formal daytime wear in spring and autumn. Some report exceptional longevity on clothing or in warmer batches, though consistency varies. It's a surprisingly well-blended, accessible offering in Zara's lineup that stands out for its clean, modern aesthetic.
