βPleasant fragrance that definitely clones the fruitier batches of Aventus.At opening, it definitely does lack the intense pineapple explosion some might be looking for. Itβs there, but blended with the bergamot and apple.The smokiness and birch note here is also more tame...giving off a more woody vibe vs Smokey. Ultimately, the vanilla and ambergris lend depth and complexity.Longevity and projection are average.If you are looking for a clone of the fruitier batches, check this one out via sample before bottle purchase.β
βBig and bright pineapple/apple notes right up front, but very quickly moves to a smoked meat (or used grill) scent. The pineapple lingers in the background. My wife said it smelled like sausage. To my nose, this smells exactly like the Parfums Vintage version of Aventus called Pineapple Vintage Noir.IMPORTANT NOTE: Alexandria Fragrances sells two different batches, a smoky batch and a fruity batch, but you have to specify in the order notes which batch you want. I am reviewing the fruitier batch.β
βThis house has some good clones, However they need to go back to the drawing board on this one. Smells nothing like Aventus, and I would forgive that if it smelled atvall pleasant. It smells very artificial, like alcohol and sour pineapple mixed together. There is no projection and no longevity., overall not a fan despite the cheaper price.β
