The Scoop

Pinnace Noir captures the spiced aromatic character of Boss Bottled Intense quite effectively, with the prominent cinnamon and clove heart notes translating well to the clone. The citrus top and creamy vanilla-coumarin base are reasonably close, though the clone tends to show slightly less depth in the lavender facet and the overall spice blend feels somewhat flattened in the mid-development.

Key Differences

The clone exhibits shorter longevity (approximately 4-5 hours vs 6-7 hours on original) and slightly reduced sillage. Pinnace Noir's spice accord reads as more linear without the original's complex layering of cardamom and lavender nuance in the heart.

What wearers say

“Never tried the OG. I mostly get apple supported with vanilla, cinnamon and woods. While I quite like this, I expected a bit more given I really like all the main notes here. Feels a bit synthetic unfortunately. Only got a decant of this and I am glad I did not go with the full bottle, as I already have Mawj Appletini which is very similar, a bit cheaper and I like it a bit more. I would recommend Mawj Appletini over this if you are just looking for a nice green apple dominant scent and not necessarily a clone of Boss Bottled Intense.”

“Warm apple contrasted with cinnamon, clove and woods. It's quite light on the cinnamon -- but it might become more prominent after sitting for a few months. For now, it's a very wearable, elegant take on the 'Boss Bottled' DNA.If you want something with less woodsy but more spice and apple intensity -- try sampling Ornament by Afnan. It's less reminiscent of Boss Bottled and more similar to Azzaro 'Most Wanted' -- but It's cheaper and stronger, and if you like Pinnace Noir but want more spice, I'm sure you will like Ornament.”

“"Question everything" below- this sight sees men as a parasite so must be run by females even on the scale of female-to-unisex-to-male, the male is described as "bad" on some frags, and most male scents that are blatantly male frags are labeled as for woman. So if they think they're doing woman a favor by leading them to believe a man's fragrance should be for woman. Well I'd hate to be that lady who goes out and buys a frag they reviewed on here thinking it's solely for woman, and they get it delivered and it smells like Davidoff Zino or something only a man would wear.......”
