Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Motivation
If you're already rocking Aventus, this isn't going to blow your socks off. But for the price, it's a solid, fruity-woody all-rounder that's an easy grab when you need a little oomph. It's a crowd-pleaser that generally hits the mark.
Favourite
Our Verdict - R U Serious Her
This is a serious, grown-up white floral with an amber heart and a tenacious, dark, heavy patchouli base. While some reckon it's a colder, harsher take on Interdit, others say it's an inexpensive dupe of the intense version. Either way, it's not a 'girl next door' scent.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office

Its moderate projection and fresh, fruity accords make it versatile enough for the office without being overbearing. It's a reliable choice for casual outings and dates due to its pleasant, mass-appealing nature, though its lack of formal gravitas means it's less suited for black-tie events.

R U Serious Her

Seasons

Best For:
Winter

A winter perfume through and through - made for cold, dark months.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Its strong projection and longevity, coupled with the heavy white floral and patchouli accords, make it less suited for an office environment. However, these same characteristics elevate it for dates and formal events where making a statement is desired, though its intensity might be too much for casual wear.
