Aventus versus Pineapple Vintage King Intense - Fragrance Showdown

[@RustyCohle]

A wee package from the postman? Two small packages in this video then...cue the music.

[@MrSmelly1977]

Thanks Tonyk!

[@salgeno2849]

always a great opening skit with respect to Mr. Sillage

[@davidpeters2905]

Hi Mr smelly, great honest review which we all appreciate, with your unique twist of humour, but I am going to be sticking with my pineapple vintage intense, or at least till i run out. Thanks again for the review

[@nicknamean]

Mine finally came in a few days ago....fabulous smelling stuff! It’s great because I can spray it on and not feel my wallet get smaller but enjoy how I smell all day long

[@karthimechify]

What about the projecten longevity

[@christopherchesler5717]

Let me help you guys out. I have smelled or own all of the parfum vintage fragrances. They all smell like a different interpretation of very nice smelling bug spray. The opening has brighter fruitier notes but the dry down on all of them smells like a pleasant bug spray. No exaggeration

[@kingyeayea397]

140 cock suckin mother fuckin dollars better not smell like bug spray !!!!..........

[@rigdunlabro]

♥️ Dan, one of my dreams was for you and Chris to do a collaboration video. To me, you are both in the ranks of true creative geniuses. Thank You.

[@MrSmelly1977]

Thanks very much Rigdun. It’s very sad that that collaboration can’t happen now. Chris was a great reviewer with a great channel.

[@toobalkain]

Is there a place for swapping decants and samples in Europe? Strange one Aventus, not the most complicated scent in the world but people don’t seem to get bored with it.

[@lolshatter]

I enjoy Aventus and it's bastard children but in Miami it's always around 90 degrees and 80% humidity so it's too strong. I've been banned from wearing it at work since it projects 30 feet with 2 sprays under clothes

[@kingyeayea397]

LoooooooooooooooooooooL

[@SaSpursFan]

i think the aventus batches smell different not bc of poor quality but bc of natural ingredients changing from season to season

[@simonsaysr1994]

say what you want, but when i wore pineapple vintage. I sat down to eat with my brother to only be asked by the waitress if she could get my number. I do love pineapple vintage because it is less expensive, and it is a sweeter smelling aventus. just doesn't project as well to me, duration was great 10hrs. projection about 4-5hrs. there is a sharp bright note from aventus. You can tell it is very high quality ingredients .i feel like club de nuit intense man is almost a closer smell to aventus after the dry down to me. but pineapple vintage is its own signature , where the CDN is more of a cheap direct clone with no other desires

[@ExistentialSadness]

You are the funniest fragrance youtuber and damn, these intro songs are so good! :D

[@HelderOliveira-bl2xg]

God I love that one!!! It's an LG front loader with Coldwash technology that does up 1500rpm when rinsing! That's a beauty! Congratulations Dan :)

[@michaellynady7271]

Nice review - I own many batches of Aventus but they're from 17 & 18 and don't want to pay the price for older batches. I wanted something a little "darker" for the cooler weather and I feel this will fit bill (yes, I own PVKI)

[@MrSmelly1977]

Thanks Michael. Glad you’re happy with King Intense.

[@michaellynady7271]

MrSmelly1977 - you're most welcome and yes, we're all crazy in the aventus lounge on Facebook lol

[@elcacique4444]

MrSmelly1977 how did he pass away?

[@michaelbullock8011]

Great review and I enjoyed it keep up the good work great reviewer and have a blessed day

[@utsavgupta]

I was in Munich last weekend, as I was strolling down Marienplatz I thought of visiting Parfümerie Brückner. I walked out 160 bucks poorer, but with a bottle Bois du Portugal. What an amazing fragrance it is. I must compliment you on your taste. Whatever you suggest can be a safe blind buy for me it seems. Lol.

[@alistairthow1384]

Getting a bit busy in the PV catalogue dont you think.Was hoping after singing it's praises, you too would think it was better than the real thing. Agree with you that the pantie annalogie should be dropped.

[@thediplomat3137]

Alistair Thow how can a fragrance like Aventus which keeps changing and has people preferring one batch to another ever be "bettered"

[@bradpeterson5299]

I'm glad to see they've made an improvement.

[@antonioloffredo1543]

Great video! I'm enjoying Rasasi Zebra, it has good longevity and smells quite similar to aventus. Have you ever tried it? But I'm starting to realize that no clone will ever be identical to Aventus.. Maybe this realization came too late! 😊 Thank you!

[@vt248]

Morning Chess has an odd similarity to Aventus, even more so to me than Cedrat Boise which is similar in the opening before it goes in a different direction

[@BryanRossthemanwithanose]

I wonder what you think of Boss No 1, an older play off pineapple from the mid 1980s?

[@MSW-qo3ry]

I enjoyed your thoughts on this one, I have PV Intense & X Batch. Do you prefer King Intense over PV Intense?

[@quame81]

Hi MrSmelly Which one is your favourite among All the Pineapple Vintage Aventus Clones/Inspirations? Vintage, Vintage Intese, Noir, Beyond Noir or King Intense?

[@nycfragrances]

I agree just get Aventus!!!

[@mikelykan.9416]

I've gotta be honest, despite the cost i'm sticking with the original Aventus no more clone's for me. Great vid though..lol

[@SassyScentsTM]

Great vid, Mr. Smelly! 15X01 is considered a woody batch of Aventus, so King Intense does actually get pretty close to the woodier batches of Aventus; so compared to your batch, I can see why you get a close resemblance. Cheers🥂

[@WhatHappenedFFS]

This one or L'Aventure?

[@dembadibba5921]

Claire must be very happy 😎

[@blahfever7186]

Boxer briefs. Man after my own heart!

[@persophone4554]

A girl I know is probably one of the few people who can always correctly identify a Creed Aventus over a clone. It was her father's signature scent (he was a lawyer and has used it from the day it was released). He doused himself in it every working day. At the office, she was asked out by a young lad sporting Aventus. Unfortunately, he was out of luck! Her girlfriend asked why she knocked him back. Her response "Why would I want to date someone who smells like my dad!" So much for the panty dropper

[@danielzychniewicz2633]

Peter Eichinger thats unfortunate for that dude lol

[@MattD86]

Ah, I love that story

[@Orangestardust]

3rd time I've heard this story. The 1st time I heard it was about a young lad who wore a Seiko 007 the same as the girl's lawyer father.

[@mesharyhd7646]

esencia pour homme edp (black bottle) micallef royal vintage Are the best in the market for creed lovers The one you have listed like armaf or alharamin there oils comes from Thailand or china and very dangerous to use. Anything from Arabian countries is very dangerous because they are involved with money laundry and gangster from china and Thailand believe me. amouage is the only brand you can call real Arabian brand with clean reputation. Most of perfume vintage are now in order thanks to your video

[@nomo4u886]

Chris would definitely approve

[@ev767a]

Question : Do you like L'aventure better than CDNIM ?

[@bernie7772]

Good job! Thank you sir.

[@Symphony85p]

Mancera cedrat boise is the king seriously better than Aventus in my opinion. People get crazy when i wear cedrat at work.

[@violater7026]

mana beast bet!

[@AB-bw5yc]

I'm just as jaded. I honestly don't want to hear about any more aventus clones. I guarantee most of your audience already owns at least 2 versions.

[@Electronic424]

I disagrre, I feel clone houses have done an awful job at making an enjoyable chpyre fruity like Aventus. CDNIM is just toxic and harsh, L'Aventure lemon pledge, PVI just way off the mark. Only Dua have a good vintage clone but the price is steep per ml. I feel more clones need to come out so we can all have an affordable Aventus experience. Even if they just focus on one aspect of Aventus and fine tune it to death, such as the top note or base we could finally have an affordable option. I am an Aventus vintage owner of 10 different batches new and old so I have some authority on this topic I believe :D

[@AB-bw5yc]

@@Electronic424 why not just buy the real thing?

[@Electronic424]

Because you can't find vintage anywhere, and if you do you'll pay 2x price usually. So $45 for 30ml of PE 13ZZ and 90% similar to vintage juice is worth it.

[@AB-bw5yc]

@@Electronic424 I'm over aventus but to each their own

[@keelyleilani1326]

Mr. Smelly do you prefer this or X batch?

[@MrSmelly1977]

I prefer King Intense as I prefer Aventus over Sauvage by a long way and X Batch is a hybrid of Aventus and Sauvage. However, I do like X Batch better than Sauvage.

[@keelyleilani1326]

MrSmelly1977 ok thank you. I've heard a lot of people raving about X-batch recently.

[@simodthebod4256]

Robert the Haunted Doll might be worth getting a sample mate. Some people state killer performance, a lot of people now talking about poor longevity. Have to say I was disappointed in the performance of my x-batch

[@keelyleilani1326]

Simod Thebod thank you very much for letting me know that. Performance is a huge factor for me, so I suppose I'll just stick with Sauvage and Aventus decants rather than blind buying X-batch.

[@simodthebod4256]

Robert the Haunted Doll no worries mate, I’m the same, should have tried a sample first. A lot of reviewers were reporting it as beast mode. Since then, on Fragrantica at least, a lot of people aren’t happy with the longevity. Maybe worth getting a sample pack from them. I do recommend Verbena Fields from them!

[@markhart6743]

I have dua’s poseidon’s elixir 2.0 & would love your take on it against your fruitier batch of Aventus

[@cliftonhough5768]

First Impression, I like King Intense but don't love it. The new interpretation feels more balanced and "rounded out" but doesn't strike me as their best release. Definitely less sweet if that's what people want out of this but it doesn't add to that Aventus smokiness accord or ambergris note. Performance didn't beat Aventus or PVI either. King died at about the 6 hour mark and at 8 hours Aventus and PVI were still going neck and neck.

[@Pinoystylz]

Which one would you consider the closest and best clone the Pineapple Vintage Intense or Zara Vibrant Leather? Thanks.

[@762Zazuu]

lessbattle PV Emperor Extrait

[@TalknReview]

Great video mate. Parfum Vintage is king of the Aventus clones

[@RichMitch]

Don't care for aventus but can't stand clone houses. That said, I think there's a decent case for a company making a clone of discontinued scents

[@Electronic424]

Checkout Dua, they get tons of flack in the community but I have a very developed nose and very few houses come close in terms of clones at their success rate, including PV here.

[@RichMitch]

QuickMix cheers but I'm against clone houses on principle

[@Electronic424]

Then you should be against tech companies for improving your computer and phone you typed to me on, in principle every advancing modern company is a clone house because they're building on other's success. Everyone stands on the shoulders of giants, it's called progress. Not trying to irk you just my perspective, maybe I shed some light you needed to see.

[@RichMitch]

QuickMix I'm not against R&D or even reverse engineering, I'm against plagiarism. I'm not trying to irk you either, maybe that's just some light you needed to see...

[@Electronic424]

You're missing my point, if something is crazy successful people will inevitably go and make a copy of it, that's just human nature, it's something you just have to accept and move on.

[@charleywaynehinkle6358]

I believe aventus is more attracting to men than women.

[@matttopcat9677]

Hi Mr smelly I tried to email you on your given email on here ..I was just seeing if you'd like any samples of my collection ..I listed about 16 ..email failed anyway for free of course

King intense is weak. Pineapple vintage intense is the closest thing to real aventus. Most of the stuff parfums vintage offers is terrific

[@karthimechify]

What about the projecten and longevity sir ?

I was sick of this house and their redundant, overpriced releases awhile ago...

Mr Smelly are you a Parfums Vintage UK rep? , you do a lot of videos for them, do you always get free bottles from them, £61 for a clone, nah no thanks PV.
