Pineapple with bacon.

Finally, a smell with personality! It’s a whole luau, reminding me of the annual Roast on the Coast my dad’s Hawaiian coworker would invite his Intel buddies’ families to. Starts off with a strong, woody bbq smoke, developing into a grilled pineapple sort of scent, then drying into a soft, spicy, and slightly sour oud/wood. Not a sexy frag, but that’s fine because it’s going for a friendly, approachable, but powerful vibe. If the coffee note was more dominant, this would be perfect for me.

Got this as a sample. Initial vibe is a light sweetness, the pineapple leaf present with an underlying charred, earthen aroma that is deep and resinous. It settles quickly into a gently sweet smoke with a long duration and moderate sillage. There may be a fleeting acknowledgement of Aventus but this is a different beast at the end of the day. I think I’d like it on specific occasions but not as part of my ongoing rotation.

I can’t really identify the notes, however the accords are what stand out; sweet but not overly, smoky but not campfire (I don’t recognize it as birch tar or cade that I’ve smelled in other frags probably the most interesting thing about the composition). Another reviewer said mineraly I would agree. Fruity? minimally so but present, aromatic/fresh spicy not so much which is not a bad thing considering everything else going on.. I don’t notice any Oud as either a note or modifier it must be very minimal or lying under the smoke.. same goes for the vetiver though there is somethiing there.. perhaps the vetiver and ginger are blended well together making them both not very recognizable. All in all unique if not a little clumsy, some decent blending but far from the refined hand at Creed, I enjoy the smoke note but I probably wouldn’t wear it very often, this one’s a neutral for moi

aka’ula smells delicious but not edible. I get a lot of tarry oud with a tropical sweetness laced through the mineral and smoky vetiver. This perfume smells truly exotic, (nothing like Aventus) and its experimental character does not interfere with its wearability. I do think this should not be applied near ones face, however, because the sweet tropical fruits juxtaposed with dark smoky mineral qualities could become cloying if they don’t have room to breathe.
Captivating, strange, and friendly. Great stuff.

Wow! Probably one of the most spectacular fragrances I have sampled this year. Haters will say this is Aventus clone, but it’s actually better quality and more daring than aventus. Nowadays, every fragrance with pineapple it’s considered immediately an Aventus clone. This juice is BEAST MODE on my skin. 12+ hours longevity and 5-6 of strong projection. It starts with a ginger, pineapple leave combo, with a hint of smoke. Then as the scent progresses you’ll get more of the smoke with some oud, which is more of a woody, subtle oud, nothing skanky. The pineapple/ginger will still be present throughout the fragrance though. Vanilla is also present but not overly sweet, it’s more in the background as well as the coffee note.In a nutshell, this is a fruit/smoke fragrance that performs beastly and gets me compliments. Quality is there, performance is also there and the scent as a whole is Devine. Check this one out guys, it’s a new house but it will get bigger and bigger with time !
