The bargain Zara aftershave that smells like Creed Aventus for £200 cheaper

Creed is known for being one of the most luxurious and popular fragrance brands but it'll cost you a pretty penny.

However many lovers of Creed Aventus are now figuring out that a high street store is selling an aftershave that smells almost exactly the same.

The replica fragrance that is being praised is Zara's Vibrant Leather cologne which is available for a fraction of the price of Creed.

120ml of Vibrant Leather from Zara costs £19.99, compared to Creed Aventus that costs £265 for 100ml.

Twitter user @nell_LFC noticed the similarity and took to social media to say: "Not sure how Zara have got away with selling Vibrant Leather aftershave, that basically smells 98% like Creed Aventus, selling it for £20 too."

Another user, said: "For the guys who cannot afford aventus creed you can go to the zara shop and buy the perfume called vibrant leather it’s 20€ but ofc it doesn’t last as long as aventus creed."

While a third added: "Zara Vibrant Leather - identical but not as long lasting as Creed Aventus. £230 cheaper!"

Some people are even selling Zara's version of Aventus on eBay for more than double the original price.

One listing has it priced at £49.99, while another has it listed for £29 for a quarter of a bottle.
