R U Serious Him

First things first, the presentation is gorgeous. A solid carbon box with a top silver band and burgundy bottom colour with a top sliding silver drawer. And the bottle, same colour pair here, curved back bottle with a sort of dedication impressed on the front. Cheapy, yet nice. I am fond of the modern Creed Aventus scent, and to some extent, this cologne reminds me a lot of that aroma. A perfume with much, much charm. It’s not an Arabic perfume, by any means. But it’s a good perfume, which secretly keeps an oriental slant. It is somewhat familiar to us, but it comes in the form of quite hidden, subtle, particularly refined olfactory compositions. R U Serious is a semisweet scent with earthy, leathery, fruity and floral edges. It announces itself with a breath of freshness, lemony, clean, slightly smoky and leathery in the opening. Some bergamot blends with tangy black berries and underneath is a fruity accord of apples and pineapple. It’s amazing how real the blackcurrant smell is, vivid, and edible, with a woody, slightly animalic edge that sits between hints of green and red fruits. I have a plant on my terrace, and it’s full of fruits that ripen these summer days. The taste when I crush them under my teeth is identical. Luckily, I don’t get the “catsy” smell that we know these berries for. Then, the pineapple expands and surpasses the citrus and berry notes. I know Rue Broca does not mention it, yet its semisweet, fresh, and sour redolence is there, unmistakably. Perhaps, for someone, this opening might be a little too harsh, still, it lessens and turns more and more agreeable. These fruity and spicy facets soon transform into a smoky heart note of dense, smoky and woody birch bark. The floralcy is not exuberant even if woods and blossoms compose the heart. The indole part of the white flower of Arabia is subdued, and the rose looks more like rosewood rather than a radiant and dewy flower. But all this is good. The concoction is intriguing and moderately leaning towards the masculine, a woody-floral bouquet with spicy green spikes. Sun-dried ozonic woods and an erotic white musk seamlessly complete this delightful fragrance. While not a base that goes out of line, the ambergris in the form of ambroxan adds sapidity; the musk is slightly earthy and vegetal and akin to oakmoss. Last but not least, the patchouli appears stripped of its sweet edges and reveals its more earthy side. What remains for hours is a sense of burnt, fumy, and leathery trail. As an EDP concentration, it is a long-lasting scent for the cooler months. I like to wear it on spring and autumn days, in leisure time, and to go to work; the crisp air goes well with all the nuances this perfume takes on. However, even on slightly breezy summer evenings, perfume has its purpose, for a date or intimate dinner. So, a fresh scent, the unnamed pineapple is the soloist. Citrus, slightly floral, masculine, easily adheres to the skin, with mysterious aromas, even some grassy notes mixed with smoke and leather, then with a rather dominant mischievous patchouli note. Cruel enough! I'm basing my sensations on a bottle I've owned since June 2023. P.S. The notes listed on Fragrantica are for the For Her.

R U Serious!! Once again. Another Creed Aventus dupe/clone. I am not complaining though. I love the Creed Aventus DNA scent. R U Serious smells very similar to CDNIM EDT and many other Creed Aventus dupes/clones. It smells very nice IMO. A strong blast of fruity-citrusy scent. It dries down with a slight musky/woody smell. The fruity-citrusy is still present throughout the drydown. It last a good 6 hours on my skin and much longer on clothes. This fragrance is definitely in the Creed Aventus DNA vein. I am very happy with this purchase. A good blind buy!! Glad to add this fragrance to my collection.👍🍋🪵♨️🔥💨

This is honestly crazy how it’s smells like aventus and the notes don’t match at all

Best Aventus clone in a decent price

The notes on this page are 100% wrong. Its a clone of Creed Aventus. In terms of price/quality ratio its beautiful. Got it at 15€ from Notino. Performance is medium, lasts long on skin and projects very well for about 1h or 1h30. I prefer it over my 30€ CDNIM EDT and my 30€ Montblanc Explorer. Its like a CDNIM with a much more well rounded opening and with a softer performance (my CDNIM EDT is very very loud and has a harsh lemon opening). Definetely gonna buy a backup ASAP.
