Re-REviewing
So for the price you are going to get one of the best quality clones/inspired by on the market!
This is often put up against CDNIM (i’ve left a pretty thorough review on that one) but CDNIM generally has a bigger following because it is way cheaper and has a much stronger projecting scent.
This particular clones is based on a more citrusy / musky style of Aventus, not really smokey (CDNIM is all about that Smokey Wood / Leather scent) at all but just a really nice Citrusy Aventus style of scent.
The bad part about the scent is generally it takes 2-3 weeks to receive a bottle from ParfumsVintage which can make some ppl very upset even though the website clearly shows that some of the scents take 10 days before it is even dispatched so that is 10 days from when you place your order and THEN it goes through the mail which could be a Week or more depending on the Season.
This is much higher quality than CDNIM, it has a more natural scent by comparison and it’s flat out consistent where CDNIM can sometimes smell amazing it also can smell really bad depending on a lot of circumstances that really isn’t clear.
If you want a versatile consistent Aventus clone that focuses a lil more on the Citrus / Musk type of batches then this is a great choice.
If you are looking more for that smokey woody scent that some ppl loved in the older Aventus batches then check out something like King or King Intense because i would trust those (Or even a PV Beyond Noir bottle) over CDNIM because they will be consistent, you won’t have to gamble in hopes that the frags maybe will smell like Aventus on any given day like how CDNIM performs but you will know exactly what you are getting every time.
When CDNIM is at it’s best it is a better smell in terms of just scent, not really in terms of quality because it’s not close in that department; The Armaf clone is effing so synthetic smelling it’s crazy.
When CDNIM is smelling not so great then this really just smashes CDNIM.
This is a great fragrance because it’s probably one of the only Aventus clones on the market (Regardless of which ParfumsVintage clone you buy) with higher quality type of smell.
If you are looking for a higher quality Aventus clone that is consistent and still in a very good price range then this is really the only option to be frank.
You don’t have to worry about your scent changing dramatically over night or from day to day like how CDNIM can be; you get a nice Aventus like scent (prolly about 93-96%) with a almost niche quality scent in terms of ingredients

This is dope stuff, I got this as a sample as it was all sold out for the longest time on their website, not I sprayed this on at about 8 AM, and it’s not 12:13 and I can still smell it strong on my skin. So it has decent longevity, I can no longer smell it projecting though, it’s a skin scent at this point. The smell is amazing but I do kind of smell a sharp citrus opening but that quickly mellowed down to a soft pineapple Smokey scent. I like it. It’s cheaper than creed and is of decent quality.
pelisoli – :
I haven’t tried king intense yet, but so far out of all the aventus clones I have tried this one has been my favorite. It smells much more natural than other clones, although this one is more pricey. I got a good deal on it and I think it really does smell like Aventus.. but more so aventus batches such as 2017 s01 etc. I get a real feel of aventus, so much so that I can use it as a replacement for aventus. There are differences between the similar batches of aventus and PVI, but it is more nuances.
For example the woodiness in PVI is a little different than aventus. It doesn’t have any pencil shaving type wood, like CDNI or older batches of aventus but more of a dofferent kind of wood.. I kind of dig it.. Hard to describe in words… PVI is not just pineapple like people are saying.. It does have a cocktail in there that gives that aventus smell.. I would say aventus has a little more smoother vanilla, but honestly this one so far is good enough for me. The performance is tricky.. Sometimes I think its very good, sometimes not so great.
Scent 4.5/5
Performance 3.5/5

Wanted to re-review this scent as Iliked it a lot before but man have I really grown to LOVE this !
This opens up with a very juicy,ripe candied pineapple that’s very tropical and fresh ! Once this dries down the birch comes in making this a little more smoky and rich while the ambergris comes in rounding this out in the base giving this a little more depth and richness. A really beautiful blended scent !!!
In comparisons to Aventus I do have to say that Aventus is better blended,smoother,more luxurious and smells better, but to me having Aventus and PVI isn’t redundant as PVI is a more pineapple focused,tropical version of Aventus that leans in the category of Scents such as Virgin Island Water. PVI is also suited better for warmer weather casual use.
Performance on this is beast as sometimes I can take a shower 24 hours later and STILL smell this on my skin. Projection is also excellent without being too aggressive (Be careful with the sprays though)
Overall rating—8.5 out of 10 ! Great all around scent for the summer
Sidenote— A hack I’ve been using is when I go to the pool I apply sun screen and then apply 4-5 sprays of PVI and I’ve gotten very positive feedback from this !!!
Potrix – :
I really like this fragrance, however it’s probably priced too high for what it is. Either way I fell for it and bought it without regrets. I’m jealous with all these people getting more than 8-9 hours out of this, because for me it dies on my skin after about four hours, on clothes it’s still detectable after about 8 hours if I really do my best to smell it. I still find that the people I interact with prefer CDNIM over this, sadly enough.
aurum – :
A Masterpiece here
This smells like the dry down of aventus at the very end of a fruity batch. This is where the ambergris is more smooth and less bright than it was in the opening the pineapple lingers, and the wood and smoke is faint and everything is more calm.
Overall a more unisex aventus and women love this !! If you have a wife or GF she might even wear yours from time to time.
7 to 9 hours longevity and good protection and great sillage.
Smells very high quality and fresh and the opening is unforgettable.
Overall better than aventus on smell, compliments, price and even performance vs newer batches.
Nacfasa – :
I bought this a couple of months ago, and hated it, i smelled like rotting fruit/oldman/earth. So i left it, came back to it a month later and still the same, sold this off quickly and got aventus 30ml, right off the initial smell the quality is so much better and smells fantastic all day every day. Save your pennies and get aventus, if not get the 30ml, trust me it will last, 2 sprays of aventus will have you smelling like a million dollars.
lexsin – :
“I felt a great disturbance at Fragrantica, as if millions of Aventus users suddenly cried out in terror, and were suddenly silenced.” Welcome to THE king! Okay okay, maybe not the the king, but it is certainly mopping the floor in several categories that Aventus failed in. Of course this is all opinionated and this review may be attacked by the Aventus community, but I do urge all users — especially Aventus users — to give PVI an honest shot and an open mind.
Aventus’s jealous, little brother PVI picks up on the shortcomings of Aventus’s longevity and compliments from the opposite gender, while shooting out more layers of pineapple all around. As far as CDNI goes, I love CDNI from being a cheap Aventus substitute, but PVI hits closer to Aventus’s home and starts playing big bad wolf.
Opening and middle notes you will be hammered with that pineapple freshness. Opening is a bit harsh, in my opinion, but give it a few minutes to dry. Upon some hours of dry-drown you will start to get a woody musk still accompanied by the pineapple. You think pineapple would be obvious through-and-through if a product is named “Pineapple Vintage”, but you would be surprised on how many other colognes brag about a certain note that is only noticeable during opening OR a period of dry-down. I do want to note: you almost “need” the Intense version, but let me get into that with performance.
Here is where PVI starts to catch up and pass Aventus….performance. Longevity: above average and then some. Projection: above average. Notice I do not need to rant or rave about the performance, as Creed has started losing its touch in performance of Aventus (and other fragrances). Where Creed fails in projection and lasting power, PVI only needs a slight push to pop on over. Now, I had bad luck with my batch of CDNI for performance, but I do believe CDNI has better performance between the three.
This next part is a bit hard as for choosing occasions and seasons with PVI. Aventus and CDNI I believe can be pulled off year-round if done properly, but due to the extra bit of freshness on the opening and middle note of PVI, PVI will suffer a bit in the Winter and possibly Fall. Other than that, feel free to pull this bad boy out 24/7 during Spring and Summer, and reap the benefits!
Lastly, here is where not only does PVI kick dust into Aventus, but PVI brings out a shovel and starts throwing dirt. Compliments from the opposite gender are now ZERO problem! That is right; where Aventus had some issues getting your woman to love it, PVI will swoon her. That isn’t saying much, as CDNI also kicks Aventus in the shin as far as compliments from women, but PVI just scoffs and rolls with the odds. This is probably the biggest win over Aventus and its overpriced scent DNA. If I am going to pay hundreds then I better get many compliments instead of an “yeah it’s okay” or “it is alright”. I am not saying Aventus won’t get raving reviews from women, but all women I know have liked PVI on me over Aventus (as well as many unsolicated compliments).
IMPORTANT SHIPPING NOTE: There are many reviews that both PVI and/or Parfum Vintage for their long shipping times and customer service. I have not attempted to contact heir customer service, but let me make an observation about the shipping. There is a note or two at different points on certain Parfum Vintage products that bottling and shipping is not done immediately. These products are shipped out in waves, so please read the product and confirmation pages carefully before expecting your product to arrive quick. Also, I did not have any issues with a leaking bottle, but I know some users have had some complaints with this.
Overall, I know I bashed Aventus much this review, but it cannot sustain the title of “king” when there are clones (to name a couple) like PVI and CDNI that can get the job done and arguably do it better. PVI simply performs better, grabs the compliments better, and may even garner your love more than Aventus. Do not get me wrong; no cologne out there smells exactly like Aventus, so do not buy PVI thinking you just bought a cheaper, better Aventus. PVI is very cose to Aventus and in my testings (and preference) better than Aventus, but it is not an exact replica of Aventus.
All in all, Creed has to step up their performance if they want a non-biased love for Aventus, as Parfum Vintage came in hard to grab not only Aventus lovers’ attention but also the attention of the women. PVI will be the first on my official reviews to gain the coveted “loved” category over the liked and disliked scents. I do highly recommend this fragrance and give it a chance if you are a young man leading anywhere up to or around an older man.
Age type: Any and all
Occasion: All ocassions
Season: Primarily Spring and Summer, can be pulled off in Fall and Winter but harder to do
Scent: 9.5 out of 10
Longevity: 9.5 out of 10
Projection: 8 out of 10
Versatility: 8.5 out of 10
Compliments: 9.5 out of 10
Overall: 9 out of 10
Blind buy worthy: Yes
Final remarks: While I wish the projection was a bit better, everything else garners my full support. It is a unique and a compliment-grabber contender to Aventus without the pricetag of Aventus. Unless you have a hard on and the need for Aventus, PVI will pay in dividends.
Meliu624intitytek – :
I am in the UK – near this UK based company and ordered this, along with Emerald Isle & PV X batch, 3 weeks ago. Nothing has arrived. I have contacted them twice regarding this & received no reply. Please take this into account – their service & customer service is terrible. I am having to spend precious time getting my money back which they are thus far seem to be refusing to do. Terrible company – unlike Alexandria fragrances whom I ordered from 5 days ago and has already arrived.

Ok so after I saw a top 10 most complimented fragrance review on youtube, I did a blind buy on Pineapple Vintage Intense. Take note that coming into this I do not know how Aventus smells like because I’m poor af, but pineapple is something I always loved ( I came from the tropics)
As soon as it arrived, i wore it to work and I swear immediately as I came through the floor I work in, the secretary while on the phone gestured to me you know how chef do with their hands when they smell food? That. And then the thumbs up sign. And then one of my workmates stopped me and said “Are you wearing Aventus? at work?!” At a lost for words I just said no it’s pineapple. I’ll show you later” and then same day, one of my older managers literally sniffed my chest and she said “hmmm that is good” and proceeded to follow me. 2 other girls later in the day said “I just smelled something good! Who walked in??”
I never had this reaction to a fragrance before and it is nuts!
Bad thing is I’m gay and none of the guys came to me. Just the ladies hahahaha
Regardless, it is now partnof my signature scents for summer/daytime
gcu300JeomiWogkig – :
Hey! Does anyone have this one full bottle and thinking about selling it or can sell it? Or actually just get me one bottle? I live in SWEDEN, so i cant actually get one, only people from UK or USA. Contact me, im interested. I can obviously pay a bit more 🙂 + all the fees. Contact me.

I bought 3 samples a time ago and they never arrived.. i sent them on their email to give me back my money but they never responded. What should i do?
cool11 – :
The Scent lasts throughout the whole day on this fragrance. Great initial smell and an even better dry down. This is a 1 to 2 spray fragrance. I give it a solid 9 out of 10
facebook.com – :
OK….I bought this direct from the actual company and WOW, the staying power is BEASTLY…it lasted all night into the next day and it smells like cheap men’s cologne on me! Soooooo disappointing. If anyone wants to trade for Amouge Jubilation 25 or Mon Guerlain, Jean Paul Gaultier…please let me know!
apecenora – :
This starts out just ok. It is like a non-sweet Aventus but with a dominating smell of boiling beets or thanksgiving sweet potato or pumpkin guts.
When It lays down a bit it smells a lot better and is a fine skin scent, but unfortunately it has neither projection nor longevity of any noticeable amount and is completely gone after a few hours. Though I so wanted a deep non-sweet Aventus knockoff, this was not it.
The best part about this is that the atomizer is fantastic, it lays on very heavy dispersion but atomizes so well it does not pool and run down my skin after many concentrated preys.
Dayron – :
Clone of Aventus, but without the nuances of this…
Pineaple + pineaple + synthetic white musc.
Nothing of rose or green apple here.
Aventus = bleeehhh.
This = Bleeeeeehhhhhhhh.
johnic-dj – :
This stuff is incredible . I get tons of compliments on X batch but this is the closest scent to aventus I’ve ever smelt. Very impressed with this one and it’s blended to perfection. 10/10
B52 – :
My samples finally arrived and here are my thoughts….. Before I start – important to note some context:
– Whilst I’m familiar with Aventus, I haven’t tried any other clones so can’t compare PVI to others
– My wife has very kindly budgeted to get me 120ml Aventus for my upcoming birthday (lucky me)
PVI is very, very similar to Aventus. Side by side you can just about tell a slight difference, however on its so own, I doubt anyone would be able to dismiss it as a clone.
Side by side I ended up choosing Aventus. Impossible to tell to what extent I had already made my decision before even smelling – whether I simply wanted to like Aventus more. I did the “blind test” with my wife. She smelt straight after spraying, after 10 mins and after 30 mins. She chose PVI every time. Minimal difference between the two – I would say PVI starts off more citrusy / sweet (not necessarily in a bad way – not in a good way – simply different) and ends up more smokey – at least vs the Aventus batch I had a sample of. It also projected a bit more – both had similar longevity. Aventus was a bit more smooth in its transition.
They were so similar that I opted for PVI.
Why?
1) She is the one I ultimately want to impress with my fragrance and she preferred PVI
2) Had I got Aventus, because of the price I would have used a lot more sparingly. I’m glad that as a result of choosing PVI, I will use it a lot more
3) For the same price of 120ml Aventus (really hard to get discounted), I’ll be able to get 100ml of PVI…..and 120ml of Creed GIT, which is easier to get “discounted”. So the way I see it, I get two for one and still get a Creed out of it.
Can’t wait for my PVI to arrive – so excited that I feel like a child again
UPDATE: I’ve had PVI for a few weeks now and I can’t get enough of it. Am always going to have to have a bottle of this – seriously good juice
Mebzu578Negeltzex – :
This stuff down right smells absolutely amazing from first spray to complete dry down. Unsolicited compliments left and right. I will have this in my collection until the day I die. Longevity and performance are awesome. Definitely more fruity and less smokey than Aventus. Fresh cut juicy pineapple, yet not to the point of it being too much, blended with woody birch amazingly. I don’t know if there is a perfect scent, but this one is certainly in the top 3. Absolutely very well balanced, beautiful fragrance. 100% full bottle blind buy worthy, even at around $100 for 100ml. You won’t regret it!
WedaLeloabWen – :
BUY THIS NOW!!! Get both the Original formulation and the Intense. Both iterations last 12+ hours, can be worn year round, and blossom like a monster in hot/humid temperatures! Pineapple Vintage smells much (cleaner and fresher) than Aventus, is easier to wear, due to more balanced musk notes, and fruity top notes. I own two bottles of Aventus, and this is simply the better choice for the summer — due to how well the cologne is blended.
Don’t sleep in Pineapple Vintage!! The low price tag DOES NOT equate to a cheap and synthetic fragrance! Whereas, on the contrary, Pineapple Vintage has a niche quality scent, or at the very least a high priced designer.
Overall: 10/10
Billyjoe – :
All I can say is – “watch out Aventus”. Your twin brother (Pineapple Vintage Intense) is looking for you. He’s right around the corner.
sergey10 – :
No, sorry the pineapple is authentic but it’s still too green and lack that Regal, vanillic wave the iconic Creed has
btw – where is X Batch on here , now that is a scent, so much more brighter!!
Choippiny – :
As an Aventus owner/lover I have to admit this blows Aventus away. The pineapple in this smells much more realistic and the performance on this intense version is much better as well. I’m definitely getting more for less here. This creation was done to perfection. I am completely satisfied with this purchase.
mobizone – :
I notice they got a new offering vintage X or something being hyped up on youtube reviews; I also noticed they increased the dispatch delay to 20 days. I guess they must be doing very well. Id guess if you want aventus clone on a super tight budget you could get lattafa ADAMS for around 12 pounds (100ml) or a closer clone would be haramain l ‘adventure for around 32 pounds (100ml); of course if you want to pay around 55 pounds you can get a split of the real genuine Aventus (50ml) and they likely deliver it before you die of old age.
Why pay more?
poooooooo0l – :
I got this recently. Not worth the price. It is a little bit better than the original. The performance is also better. However, this is not cheap. And if you put everything together (scent/performance/price) you will understand it’s not worth it. It seems like what this company wanted to do was to capitalize on the Aventus market; they know that Aventus is the king and a lot of people want it but may be not willing to pay that price for it. Also they realized the market has some pretty solid cheaper aventus clones; so what they wanted to do was to come up with a product that was a little better than the cheaper clones and charge a higher price for it. It’s an excellent business plan. Did they succeed in doing that? Absolutely not.
The quality of this juice is 10-20% better than the cheaper clones. Is it worth this price? Absolutely not.
If you want Aventus just save and get the real deal, or if you do not want to pay much get the cheaper clones. This is an absolute waste of money.
The correct price for this juice is 50% of what Pineapple Vintage is asking. Once it reaches that price you will get your money’s worth.
By the way, this does not compare to Aventus in terms of quality. Anyone who says this is close to Aventus is unable to distinguish the notes. But people around you do notice a higher vs a lower quality cologne. This is a cheap imitation. Don’t waste yoir money and buy the real deal.
YA1488 – :
Wow! This is just wow.
Incredibly fresh, creamy pineapple with slight undertones of woods and birch. This is great.
Overall 9/10.
ahrost – :
In their respective openings, Aventus (mine is 16E01 batch) smells greener and more woody, while Pineapple Vintage Intense smells sweeter (stronger Pineapple), and little more powdery (up close).
So, here’s the big question I know you have in mind: does PVI smell like Aventus? Well, here is the list of notes that these two fragrances have in common:
-Pineapple
-Bergamot
-Apple
-Patchouli
-Birch wood
-rose
-musk
-ambergris (possibly ambroxan in PVI)
-Vanilla
-Jasmine (Creed claims theirs to be “Moroccan”)
The only note difference is black currant, which PVI allegedly doesn’t have (and I don’t believe I pick it up). Aside from that, the only other differences seem to lie in where some of the notes are placed:
-Pineapple is in both the top and heart of PVI, while it’s just in the top of Aventus
-Patchouli is in the base of PVI, while in the heart of Aventus
-Birch wood is in the base of PVI, while in the heart of Aventus
Something else to note is also the proportions of each ingredient, but that seems to have one obvious affect (more pineapple in PVI than Aventus), while the other affects it could have are fairly negligible. The two fragrances smell very much alike when they start to dry down…they start out about 70% similar and dry down to become about a 95% similarity to my nose
Essentially, PVI dries down to be almost identical to Aventus (sweet vanilla, musky, woody). On my skin, PVI seems to perform just as well as my batch of Aventus does…it might even have slightly better projection!
Is it bottle worthy? Well, if you have Aventus, NO. It would be redundant. But if you don’t have Aventus and you’re hesitant to spend that kind of change, I’d say go for it.

Today I recieved my pineapple vintage intense on a blind buy. Boy was I impressed. This fragrance is simply awesome! Of course I am a loyal creed aventus owner but this scent is Awesome! If you love fruity batches this is a must have. I can only speak about the pineapple intense batch. And it projects like crazy. I can’t really comment on longevity because I would have to test it in different conditions. If you’re on the fence about purchasing it. This is a buy you won’t regret, non offensive and a compliment getter. As to customer service. It is true sometimes they don’t reply asap but today when they got back to me we carried a back and forth email conversation for 45 minutes.So all in all you won’t be disappointed with purchase. Coming from a 200+ bottle enthusiasts! Take Care
Сенище – :
Out of all of their scents that I’ve tried, this is the one.
Non offensive and crowd pleasing.
Women love this! Compliments every time I wear it.
This will always have a spot on my shelf.
Try it. I don’t see how you can’t like it.
Cattriabe – :
Enjoy the scent. Not aventus but a nice alternative. Great complements. Terrible customer service. 2nd time I had a problem with them and their response was lacking. Bought pineapple vintage and noir. Both bottles had loose sprayers which spilled within the box. They stated to return the items and they will refund shipping ans send new bottles. Apparently, they only refunded the shipping for my order but not sending it back to them(which cost double $$ with tracking). I ordered again for the intense versions since I enjoyed the originals. Unfortunately, the noir intense has a component that makes me sick when I smell it. Wanted to return and perhaps swap for the vintage intense(Would even take a restocking fee). They stated, in a nutshell, i should have gotten the samples first and all sales final.
Never again.

@stickaforkinit I’m in the same boat as you. Ordered samples 12 days ago and have heard nothing.

Still waiting for samples. I read somewhere that they are based in the UK and I am in the UK but website still charges in USD. Not received any dispatch/processing or posting information.
**UPDATE 01-10-17**
I tried the support email -no response.
Over a month since order, no product no response; sent another email via paypal; no response; raised the issue with paypal and got a refund.
SEDOI1375 – :
first, i do not trust this parfums vintage company and its creators. upon ordering my samples, i receive them only to find they are half full! parfums vintage purposely sends out atomizer samples that can hold about 4ml but only 2 ml of sample is there. this is deceiving to the customer, and also, the actual ml amount of fragrance is never disclosed. it is an estimate 2ml sample in an atomizer that is much bigger
lastly, we go to the newest createion, PINEAPPLE VINTAGE INTENSE. this is marketed as an intense, stronger version of the regular. basically current aventus amped up. however, it may be amped up less than 10% as i do not fully detect a difference. maybe a little stronger here and there but not much difference. sweet, ripe, pineapple at inital blast, dies down to “aventus lite”. highly similar to regular version.
sillage is low to medium, longevity is 4-6 hours.
rating: 7.5/10
norman – :
I very realistic pineapple smell with no smokiness. It is high quality and the sprayer is fantastic. It’s not entirely different from the other releases so I wouldn’t run out and buy it if you have the others. I feel it’s a daytime fragrance. Would be good for the office too. Hard not to like it. It’s sweet but not sickenly so. Perfect for a hot summer day.
xxx881Negeltzex – :
Just got my bottle. I haven’t smelled the original or Noir, so I can’t comment on those. I’m actually not a huge fan of Aventus, it doesn’t work well on my skin, the sweetness and fruit notes get very muted. I do love pineapple, though, and I feel that it’s a criminally underused note in perfumery, so it was pretty inevitable that’d I’d grab a bottle of PV eventually.
This is a very classy, mature, sophisticated sense. This isn’t overly sweet or synthetic pineapple, it’s a smoky, roasted, green pineapple. It almost kind of reminds me of mezcal breweries in Mexico, smelling the scent of roasted agave hearts. It’s very complex, starting with big, juicy pineapple, and drying into a beautiful, aromatic, green pineapple with a hint of sweetness and woody earthiness. The Aventus comparison is there, of course, though I actually like this one more on my skin than Aventus.
The Performance is very good. It projects well, but it won’t be offensive. It’s not a thick miasma, it’s a gentle wafting breeze. I sprayed it on at around 2:00 PM, and it’s now about 9:30 and it’s still going strong, and my skin usually devours scents, so longevity is definitely solid.
Big fan of this one. It’s also quite inexpensive considering its niche quality right now, and even at its normal price is very reasonable. The bottle is also very nice, feels solid and I like that the straw is nearly invisible, looks very pretty on your shelf. Very high quality scent and fantastic quality. I’m giving this one a 9/10.
oleghemp – :
PV Intense is pretty good fragrance in my opinion. this lasted good amount of time. I saw reviews on this and didnt bother to check the other 2. opening is pretty nice.
After Reading the reviews about partial samples, I checked my samples too and found out that the sample was filled till about half of the vial. I finished my PV intense before I realized this. I teared down the label for other two and they were about the same. Is it normal? Sent an email to PV support and no response yet.
Velial – :
Awesome scent! Manufacturer listened to some of their reviews and created a new masterpiece. This stuff is great! It lasts all day, and has moderate projection. Nothing that would clear a room but it is noticeable. It would be an injustice to compare it to other fragrances. The pineapple note is perfect. The package is great and so is the bottle which was filled to the absolute top. It took a little over two weeks before I got the bottle but I am in no way complaining. It was worth the wait. Get u some!
service777 – :
Parfums Vintage seems short-handed right now, it’s been 20 days since I ordered my sample and still haven’t gotten it. If you’re wanting to try it soon, I would buy it from ebay or somewhere else; not through the website.
Pofigus – :
I received my Pineapple Vintage Intense from Parfums Vintage today and, having “classic/original” and Noir already, and loving both, I needed to get to that Intense!
First impression? From the notes breakdown it seems they removed birch from the opening notes and blackcurrant leaf from the heart. It is definitely different than “classic” to a noticeable degree (as is the improved sprayer). This Intense is NOT nearly as pineapple-centric as its predecessors (that I love by the way). I want to say that initially this is a better clone of an average bottle of Aventus, but we’re tired of those cliched comparisons so I won’t. What I will say is that the fresh and/or roasted pineapple accord of original Pineapple Vintage and even smoke-infused Noir, is not dominant, it is subdued here, riding shotgun while the base notes drive this fragrance.
The scent is a level more dense than its parent(s). Richer, more mature and serious. Where “original” painted a great two dimensional picture of golden ripe pineapple in its opening and mid, this Intense is a balanced and maybe even more linear 3-D image to behold.
Impressive juice! Need all three though? I was expecting that to be easy to answer. It’s not! These Parfums Vintages are all similar to each other to a high enough degree to act as backup bottles of a sort to each other, yet they’re actually different enough to be worthy of individual consideration on their own merit. Not unlike different batches of Aventus might be. So, yeah, you COULD buy ’em all and not feel like they were redundant purchases. That’s where I’m coming from any way. But I’d like more time with all three, to have a vintage orgy, before I make any such formal recommendations here although I already feel I personally want, need, all three
