Has a cloying note. If this is an Aventus clone I can tell you CDNI is miles ahead, it’s a pleasant smell at least.

Batch: R3003865/F1059912. July 2017.
I thought L’aventure and CDNI were good Aventus clones but they pale next to this.
One of only a very few of my fragrances that remain slightly after a good shower.
Performance is absolutely phenomenal.

BATCH #R3007465/F1062878
MF6.FEB.2018
Presentation: 6/10
The box features a barcode background and a textured zebra that you can actually feel with your fingers.Its a unique box but nothing awesome.Same with the bottle, good quality but nothing special.
Scent: 7/10
I have never smelled aventus so i can’t tell if there’s any resemblance like people mention here.
The scent starts with a powerful citrus blast (lemon,lime and orange to my nose) and then it transitions to pineapple and birch.It is generally more pleasant after the 10 minute mark.If you overspray this smells like insect repellant,so don’t overspray!
Sillage: 10/10
Wow,the projection of this thing is insane! i got olfactory fatigue soon after i applied 2 sprays but my friend commented on how he could smell me from 2m away an hour later so don’t overspray!! one spray is enough for an office setting and two sprays are more than enough for a night out!
Duration: 8/10
The duration is pretty long,as is typical with most rasasi EDPs.
total:3.9/5
Worth buying but may not be suitable for everyone.I believe this is most appropriate for a warm social setting like a wedding,an engagement,a baptism or something similar.I would not use this in the office as its very heavy and it can become overpowering.I would also not use this in a date as there are better options.

If you live the DNA of Aventus you will like rasasi 9325 pour lui. Its not exactly aventus but its pretty darn close. For a collector of fragrances like myself you can tell a difference when you’re nose to scent, but in the scent bubble around you its almost impossible to tell the difference. On my skin this stuff has amazing performance, on hot & humid days this stuff still lasted 6+ hours sweating outside. Inside or on cool days it is a beast of a performer, i get a good 8 hours of scent. Its more on the fruity side rather than smokey for sure, for the price it would be stupid not to try. This is my first rasasi fragrance and it will NOT be my last.
Delagypelew – :
First impression: For me it is very similar to aqua di gio, especially in the beginning….. 2 weeks after I purchased rasasi I smelled Aventus en immediately rasasi pour lui zebra came through my head. So it is very very similar. But the smokeyness of the aventus is far better.
slavec61 – :
The people claiming Smokey are either only smelling the top notes on a tester strip or have a smokey batch if that’s even a thing with Rasasi. I haven’t noticed any batch issues personally and this one is a fruity Aventus-ish scent, better than CDNI Man
StepED – :
Beware, the Ambergris here is synthetic and very cloying. Not comfortable to wear for me.
igrun30 – :
That lemony note has been hunting me from the early beginning until the drydown. It’s just there and you can not ignore it. Too proeminent, too much lime and lemon. For me it’s a no. Sorry.
Memobibrabe – :
smoke logs with lime, I dont get the sweet juicey fruits nor pleasant woody smoke of aventus. Its OK better than CDNI but behind L’aventure in terms of closeness to aventus. ADAMS also smells closer to aventus when I use it as a room spray.
If you prefer dark smokey take on aventus it might suit you, for closeness L’aventure or ADAMS (depends on how it smells off your own skin), if you want a sweeter(lots fruit low smoke) take on aventus, try perfumers choice no 9.
None of the clones really give a close rendition to quality of aventus, except maybe L’aventure (at times), so save your money and get some the real deal.
I havnt tried parfum vintage, customer service is awful, put in an order takes months no response had to ask for a refund via paypal.
edit: I forgot to mention avenue, which is smokey lemon, if you like like 9325 then might like that
Slappeato – :
Smell-wise it’s better than L’aventure ( i love that one, too).
It’s super fresh, resembles the best fruity batches, with more lime added, but without making it smell like an air freshener or cheap.
The best clone i have tried so far, and it lasts pretty well. I already own L’aventure but i’ll probably buy this, it’s just too good.
SKIFchik – :
At the moment I have Aventus on my left arm and Zebra on my right arm. The main difference is the most definitely the lime. From the opening to the drydown, the lime in Zebra is the most prominent note in comparison to Aventus.
Can you tell them apart? When they are side by side, for sure. Otherwise I would say you have to be very familiar with Aventus to be able to tell.
Zebra itself smells amazing. I love the lime note. It’s like if you take Aventus, remove a tiny bit of sweetness and add a tiny bit of bitterness. I think people are missinterpreting this part a lot, as for example “Yes, the pineapple here is not Aventus’ ripe sweet and juicy dark yellow pineapple, but rather sour, pale yellow one, that was picked way too early.” – No, no, no. That’s the lime, not an unripe pineapple, my dear sir! That’s what makes Zebra different from Aventus.
In my opinion, you can definitely call Zebra a tad manlier version of Aventus (that does not mean I consider Aventus feminine). So which one is better? That’s up to you. It is absolutely unfair to call Zebra “a poor Aventus counsin. Just no. Performance is roughly the same. The notion that CDNI lasts three times longer, as I see here in one of the reviews, is simply laughable. When it comes to compliments, I assume Aventus would hold a slight edge due to that smoky and fruity yumminess, Zebra feels more serious.
Also please not that Zebra is not exactly a cheapie. It is not an expensive fragrance, but we are still looking at slightly under 70 euros per 100 ml (the bottle is 50ml). In France you can get 100 ml bottle of Aventus for 194 euros. Just be aware of that. Also! CDNI is no longer the cheaper alternative, at least not in Europe. E.g. Notino ramped up the price to 68 euros, I checked France, Germany and Spain, £63.00 for the UK (5th of April, 2018).

@boart67 Looks like you tried Rumz Al Rasasi (9453) the one with a leopard logo
Aristidas – :
If you are looking at this fragrance here, it is probably because you saw it is close to Creed Aventus.
I’m going to make it short, clear and simple:
This is a very very good Aventus clone.
Nothing else to say about it.
denya4a – :
Just got Rumz Al Rasasi 9325 Pour Lui today and initial review after 3 sprays to my entire forearm – it has been around 30 minutes and I’m sniffing every minute.
First of all I am confused about this. There are positives and negatives and can’t decide the overall score.
Opening: Lemon-Lime-Bitter pineapple, lemon-lime-bitter pineapple. Thank god I love lemon, lime and alike citrus scents, so I was very happy with it. I don’t care if it’s similar to Aventus or not at this point, the scent on its own is very refreshing and crisp.
Midnotes: I liked how one reviewer below described the pineapple note in this one as “sour”, “pale yellow” and “picked up early”. It is so true, you don’t get sweet pineapple so it was a bit hard to notice with lemon-lime. Here I get similarities to Aventus, but if you ask me, this can only be a relative to Aventus and definetely not a clone.
Drydown: I’m still waiting but I don’t expect miracles after this point. The scent is already very close to skin, and I still get the lemon as primary actor and slight hints of cedar, musk and ambergis. I do not get any leather at all as described in shown notes.
Performance seems to be lower than expected. I wasn’t looking for a performer but this looks like it will stay light in the entire cycle.
Compared to Club de Nuit Intense, there’s no competition that CDNI is maybe 3 times well performing than this one and for those looking for a clone, CDNI is the closest one.
As a light lemony fresh scent I liked Rumz Al Rasasi 9325 Pour Lui however for the 30 euros price for 50ml bottle did not make a good deal for me.
I like the lemon usage in Rasasi fragrances, and this one is one of them. However again if you are digging Aventus, maybe this one should not be on the top of your list.
LieflyHifemer – :
I have got many compliments from my female co-workers whenever I use this… I use this layering with an oil perfume(from Rasasi I don’t know the exact name) which is a bit leathery.. the outcome is excellent.. this is one of the most recommended perfumes and price is affordable too… give a try you will never regret what you got.
К С Ю Ш А – :
While it is an Aventus clone, I don’t have any of the described fruity notes in the top in my bottle. After coming here to look at the notes, I’d have to say that i’m surprised that there are any fruits mentioned at all. My bottle is mostly black pepper and everything you see in the base notes.
What else to say about this? The fragrance isnt as overbearing as Aventus can be, it goes well when layered with Al Yuqawam/Tuscan Leather, and doesn’t smell synthetic, like most Aventus clones do.
Fataaccombuct – :
I own this one, club nuit intense as well as Creed Aventus.
In my opinion, although this has much smoother and nicer opening compared to the harsh start of club nuit, it still very lemony and not as fruity as Aventus and it doesn’t have the magical drydown of both club nuit and aventus. it is like a half-way clone.
Even longevity and Projection, it lasts fairly on skin but doesn’t hold 3 hours on clothes.
I recommend club nuit intense for the scent, performance and the price.
jurs – :
best aventus clone hands down….performance is easily three times more than current aventus…i love aventus a lot in winter…but this baby will perform all year round…best 42 USD you can spend for a niche quality juice….thank you rasasi…i love your house

1) Presentation
I will keep this short. It’s nothing special. Really. Design may even be a bit dated, but the quality is good so I kind of like it.
7/10
2) Performance
First something about the longevity. On me I get a minimum of 6-7 hours longevity from this fragrance. As for the projection I would say you get 2 hours definitely above average projection. After that of course projection is weaker but I would still say borderline between average and slightly above average. People will still notice you. Of course number of sprays will vary from person to person but my experience is for warmer weather go for 2-3 sprays. This will get the job done. Little remark: I get olfactory fatigue from this fragrance pretty fast. Only noticing it from moment to moment but I asked people and they said they can smell the fragrance.
9/10
3) Smell
Short story at the beginning. The first day I wore it I was walking around in my city (and yeah that’s maybe my subjective perception but I had people turning their head when walking by and no I think it was not because of something negative). I got confirmed in that later on because I went to my hair stylist and after getting my hair done a female customer and the 3 female hair stylists complimented me like crazy and asked what I was wearing (“You smell so manly” / “Wow this smell is incredible” / “The whole room where I washed your hair smelled like this and it’s amazing”). I then asked what it smells like because I was very curious which notes they got from it. Well they were no experts but they all said fruity but not in a sweet cloying way, a tad bit fresh and a tart manly woodiness. Pretty good description in my opininion. Opening you get slightly harsh notes of the citrus fruits and a bit less of pineapple. Later it’s pretty much a very musky/ambery/woody scent with hints of fruitiness, a bit oakmoss and leather going on in the background. Yeah it’s very similar to aventus but I think it has its own place in the fragrance world. Extremely safe blind-buy imo. Try it out.
10/10
4) Versatility
Very good allrounder. Can be worn by every age. Maybe for teenagers only if it’s a more mature and masculine teenager. You can wear this every season even though I don’t wear it in the winter time. This is a scent you can wear day time and night time. Pretty much wearable for any occasion, may it be casual or formal. “Outfit-versatility” (many don’t consider this but I think it’s important). It’s a bit more of a classy scent but I mentioned you can wear it casual and also formal. The issue is that it depends on what is casual for you. If it’s “casual chic” and timeless fashion go for it. If you wear skinny jeans, yeezys and oversized shirts for example (not an expert for that kind of fashion) I would say this scent won’t fit you.
9/10
5) Overall Conclusion
Get it. It’s nice, compliment factor is high and it’s super affordable. I think I paid about 30€ for 50ml and it’s an edp concentration by the way. With that being said I give it an overall 9/10

Surprisingly the one i purchased has quite unsatisfactory performance. It barely gets past the two hour mark for me, although as members have said, it has the Creed Aventus vibe.
After a bad experience with Rumz Al Rasasi Zebra i had to spring for the actual Aventus clone; Armaf CDNI 😛
chigik19 – :
During the Spring I received Rasasi Rumz Al Rasasi Zebra Pour Lui (aka Rumz Al Rasasi 9325 – Pour Lui), Rasasi Rumz Al Rasasi Crocodile Pour Lui (aka Rumz Al Rasasi 9459 – Pour Lui) and Rasasi Rumz Al Rasasi Leo Pour Lui (aka Rumz Al Rasasi 9453 – Pour Lui). All were quite good copies of other popular fragrances.
Zebra is one of the better Creed Aventus clones (fruity batch) I have tried but, like all of them, it has not managed to duplicate those Aventus burnt-pineapple and smokey-birch accords that make is so special. Still, it is quite good and performance is also stellar in that it lasts 7-8 hours on my skin and projects slightly above average.
I almost forgot to mention…the bottles are kinda tacky and kinda cool at the same time. Well worth the asking price.
mahogon9 – :
My budget won’t allow me to purchase Aventus .. so imagine my joy when I discovered this ! I asked the sales assistant in my local Selfridges what she thought I was wearing & she immediately said ‘Aventus’ .. Say no more ! I also own CDN, which is pretty good too, but quite simply, this has a more palatable (closer to CA in my opinion) opening & lasts longer, on my skin at any rate, than CDN. Prob works out a little more expensive than CDN as it’s only available as a 50ml bottle, but hey, look on the bright side .. it’s easier & lighter to carry around in your ‘man-bag’ !
TyAzlue – :
No doubt it is a cousin of Aventus! The poor skinny bitter cousin. But it is not necessarily bad thing.
Yes, the pineapple here is not Aventus’ ripe sweet and juicy dark yellow pineapple, but rather sour, pale yellow one, that was picked way too early. Yes it missing completely blackcurrant and birch (which I believe actually birch bark, not wood itself), so it isn’t as opulent as Aventus or has it sweetness. However, it makes Rasasi offering tad bitter, fresher and leaner version – better suitable for hot Summer days.
I think it is very likable scent, full bottle worthy and safe blind buy. Not as many people will love it as Aventus, but also less people would dislike it.
Performance is about same as Aventus – borderline between moderate and longlasting/heavy.
olegkachan – :
Finally fragrantica … i tried 4 clones of aventus
Al Dur Al Maknoon Silver Lattafa … a good clone for the fruity batch of aventus but lack preformance
Supremacy Silver Afnan … good one
Insurrection II Pure Reyane Tradition … weak preformance
and rasasi 9325 Pour Lui … i think its the best in term of performence
dvodik – :
I’ve smelled this fragrance first time in the same day I’ve finally smelled Aventus. I was amazed how close is this one to the original.
Yes, is more citrusy in the opening, and the pineapple note is not as bright and sweet, but for the price this is a very good alternative.
The performances are about the same too!
I still prefer Vibrant Leather over it, but this work a lot more better as a evening fragrance because the extra performances.
pentagon-77 – :
So….fragrantica finally got to listing this one, no sorry I shouldn’t be moaning they’ve responded pretty quickly it’s only been FOUR YEARS!
Anyway, I wrote a review at the time which I tried to spread via the forums, I can’t remember exactly what I said but it was likely….”This smells a lot like Aventus.” and it’s true it does but when I first smelled it, either I’d forgotten what Aventus was like and didn’t make the connection or I had some degree of nasal fatigue that day. The point is I liked it enough to purchase and it was only upon arriving home that I began to get the Creed connection. Since then we’ve had many reviews and people discovering this scent as an Aventus clone or alternative but in truth batches of Aventus seem to be so variable the dopplegangers evoke many different qualities from many different batches.
This one I’d say is a very rich, deep and thicker incarnation of this ‘genre’ for want of better terms. One of the other Rumz (the one with the cheetah on) reminds me a lot of Black Afgano and this even has more of that deep leathery, woody texture, with pretty intense birch and cedar. This is not to say that 9325 isn’t musky or pineapply because it has that going for it too.
It’s weird because although very similar and cheaper than Aventus I still own and enjoy both because it is mildly different enough to do so. For those who just want a good clone at a cheap price this is a must have. I’m definitely not one of those people who is bitter because they bought Aventus at full price and desperately defend it at all costs when people even mention clones they like better. It’s all personal preference, and I enjoy this but genuinely prefer my bottle of Aventus. I can’t even give a decent explanation as to why? I just prefer the smell. If If my arm was twisted I’d say this feels a bit heavier and clunkier than the Creed which can be cloying and annoying but when Applied sparingly is heavenly stuff, I’m just not as passionate about this one.
So performance wise this is superb as you’d expect and 100% worth adding to your wardrobe…Simple.
