The beginning of my Aventus love
... and actually also the beginning of my collecting of fragrances.
Years ago, I came across this fragrance at Zara and was fascinated by its DNA. Aventus? I didn't know it. Dupe? What is a dupe? I had zero experience of a fragrance world existing alongside the usual designers.
By chance, I don't know exactly how, I discovered that this fragrance is a dupe of Aventus and the rest is history. Over time, the internet showed me dupe after dupe and I came across brands like Lattafa and the like and was fascinated by the world of fragrances and dupes.
On the subject: Vibrant Leather is a good dupe in my eyes, the only weakness is the performance. I like the presence of the individual notes, like the mix of fruity and woody and think that Vibrant Leather is a good match for the original (depending on the badge). At some point around 2022, I think the performance dropped off again. I used to find VL more intense.
I always had several bottles of VL, one at home, one in my backpack, one in the car, just to spray it again and again, because the DNA is addictive. If the performance were better, the fragrance would still be with me.
BUT: over time, I've learned that there are better ones. Currently, one of my favorites is Ayat Black Amsterdam, or the Blub de Nuits in various versions. At some point, I used up VL and ended up with other dupes.
Nevertheless, that's where it all started and I thank VL for that :-)
