A Sweet Pineapple on a Stainless Steel Table!

I once again let myself be guided into a blind purchase.

This scent is unfortunately often described as "too sweet" or "too synthetic."

I don't think so.

Yes, it is sweet, and if you smell it too closely, a slight synthetic note emerges.
When it is in the air, it smells the best.

But what does it smell like?

If I may describe it visually, it smells like a fresh sweet pineapple cut open on a stainless steel table.

It has a very pleasant fruity scent with a slight metallic and minimal smoky undertone.
It has 100% the pineapple note of Aventus. It doesn't need to be particularly masculine like Aventus.

I find it distinctive, fresh, sweet, and versatile.
It lasts easily 7 hours and projects strongly in the first 5 hours.

It is less unisex and more masculine than I expected.
A concern that fortunately did not come true.

From me and my surroundings, a clear recommendation for the price! :)

Creed in sweet + much more pineapple

Shawq has a resemblance to Creed, but it is not a dupe.
For me, it is even better than Creed because Shawq contains much, much more pineapple.
For pineapple lovers, this is the perfect summer fragrance.
A perfect mix of fruity, sweet, and fresh.
You can also perceive a bit of bergamot, but the blackcurrant and pineapple are the stars here.
I still have the 2020 version; the sillage and projection of this fragrance are already very nice.
In the first months, it was rather weak, but over time the fragrance became stronger.
It is strangely the case with many Arabic fragrances that when you store them longer, they suddenly become stronger.

Refreshing and very pleasant

I bought this fragrance blind, €21 for 100ml. Right off the bat, it was definitely worth it.
The bottle is nice, nothing special but good enough (it looks different now, I uploaded a photo)

When you spray it, you immediately get the feeling of a very dense, partly very sweet/sour pineapple, to me it smells authentically like that (it practically makes your mouth water). And it doesn't change much as it develops. It's a pleasant sweet freshie, with very good longevity; if you like pineapple as a scent, I can highly recommend it. You shouldn't expect a Roja, it smells synthetically fresh, modern with ambroxan and pineapple.

It becomes woodier, but always remains pleasantly sweet; the late drydown reminds me a lot of Hacivat's drydown, but it doesn't have much in common with Aventus, which is a good thing.

I think it's a very nice perfume for warmer days, but I could only test it in winter so far.. :) and even in winter, the longevity was very good for such a fragrance. I have no regrets about the purchase and will definitely finish the bottle.

Best regards

Signature Potential

In search of the countless Aventus dupes, I came across Swiss Arabian - Shawq. Until now, I only knew their Shaghaf Oud Abyad, which goes in a completely different direction. The price is outstanding, sometimes available for under 20 euros for 100ml. In Dubai, it would probably be even cheaper. That's really a shame; Dubai is my number one vacation destination, I've been there four times in the last 8 years, but I've never bought perfumes. That will change next time.

The bottle has an extraordinary design. I was a bit surprised, as the bottle didn't arrive completely full. However, I can rule out a fake from this seller, especially since it was also wrapped in foil.

First spray - Hallelujah, there it is, the sought-after pineapple-heavy Aventus copy. You can even smell a bit of smoke, and the smoky pineapple is the part of the Aventus DNA that I love so much. I felt I had reached the end of my search. My new signature scent. I also sprayed it on a piece of paper to compare the longevity, which is average (which for an Aventus dupe is already above average). Unfortunately, the smoke fades quite quickly in the heart note. What remains is the sweet pineapple, which lasts for a good while. So, a somewhat monotonous dry down, not much left of Aventus. That is the major weak point. Therefore, the best application possibility is layering. I already tried it with La Rive Black Creek, which creates a good composition, though La Rive is naturally weaker. It would probably work better with Afnan Supremacy Silver, which I like very much. L'Aventure would be an interesting experiment. Maybe Shawq can tone down the citrus heaviness and the too harsh top note a bit. I don't know Club de Nuit Intense yet. However, it should complement well, as it apparently lacks the pineapple. Insurrection is too weak and would be completely dominated. It might even be suitable for balancing out a smokier batch of the original Aventus.

So, I give a clear recommendation to buy, especially if you, like me, are particularly fond of the pineapple in the Aventus DNA.

Ultra Male with Pineapple meets Sauvage edt

So here it is.....

It has always been said that it is supposed to be a twin similar to Aventus. I cannot confirm that.
I don’t smell Aventus, but rather a bit of Ultra Male with a pineapple touch.

The opening is definitely very fruity, which I definitely like.
With the Ambroxan in the base note, a bit of Sauvage/Dylan Blue comes through. The musk in the base is also nice and smooth and pleasant.

But overall, it comes across as fruity/aromatic and fresh.

For me, it is still a good, independent scent that doesn’t have to hide from other pineapple fragrances.

Definitely worth it!
