Parfums Vintage Pineapple Vintage Intense REVIEW with Redolessence + Sample Set GIVEAWAY (CLOSED)

[@davidhays8242]

My favorite part of the video is the Dynamic Do Duo!

[@BrooklynFragranceLover]

Thanks so much!

[@RobertAlvarez70]

Call me crazy but I actually prefer Pineapple Vintage Intense over Aventus the PVI on me has better performance and I receive an insane amount of compliments from PVI but rarely from Aventus which I know sounds odd because they are similar but that has been my experience

[@Killuminati5995]

Rob Alvarez wow you’re crazy

[@azad-4286]

CrAzY bAsTaRD

[@rustyshackleford17]

This is a pretty common comment. Personally, I have gotten more complements with PVI than Aventus.

[@RobertAlvarez70]

@@azad-4286 😂😂😂

[@azad-4286]

Rusty Shackleford Here’s my take on it. pvi smells more safe and lovable so people complement it like it’s yeah whatever. But with aventus or emperor extrait there’s the dry birchy masculineness with this king like victorious pineapple that is more of a king like attitude that ppl would rather appreciate in silence because it’s more empowering and sexy than childish and boring that pvi

[@Redolessence]

Fun video to shoot! Thanks for having me on your channel, Carlos!

[@BrooklynFragranceLover]

Of course! Are you kidding me LOL

[@dannyblaze8987]

Redolessence hey love the videos man and Carlos 👍🏽. Will there be a review for paco rabanne pure xs ?

[@jijdom]

Redolessence we love you guys

[@BrooklynFragranceLover]

We did! I hope you got to see it

[@crsilvabz007]

Hi Redolessence, do you prefer this or Orion? Really apreciate your answer! Tks, cheers

[@jonmichael02302]

I love it when Carlos & Steven get together to review cause we get two opinions at once & as always, its so nice/generous of Carlos to offer samples to a lucky winner. Makes it fun!

[@eric9021090210]

I've been really wanting to get my nose on the whole line of these fragrances!!! My favourite part of the video is the whole thing, because you two do an awesome job reviewing fragrances! Take care

[@eraser050]

your honesty in saying it's close, but not an exact clone is appreciated. I somehow get the idea behind the reason for so many "copies" coming out of so many brands, but it's getting a bit tiresome. I tried a handful of the fragrances that people say smell like Aventus, but no one comes close, tbh. These 3 I haven't tried, I'd be curious to see how they stack up to Aventus, but hey, Aventus is Aventus!

[@tom_schroeder]

Nice review Gentlemen! I liked the part best where Steven described wearing Aventus for his wedding and honeymoon, so he may be the true expert. A couple weeks ago I sprayed all four (Creed Aventus and the three Pineapple Vintage samples) on paper and skin to compare them side by side with two of my kids. Everyone liked them all! The original Pineapple Vintage sample is a bit more fruity, so it went to the 15 y/o daughter, who loves wearing it. The Pineapple Vintage Noir sample went to my 32 y/o son, and I kept the Pineapple Vintage Intense sample, which seems to me to be the closest to Aventus overall. Came up with the same conclusion as you--the composition is not exact but it doesn't need to be to fully enjoy wearing them. I didn't compare the performance, but will do that sometime in the future by wearing both.

[@BrooklynFragranceLover]

+Tom Schroeder appreciate your wonderful story on this

[@williamdeshazo4536]

been wanting to get a chance to try these out thanks for a shot at that and another awesome review guys!

[@scottwilbur25]

Thanks for the review guys. I appreciate your lively banter and honesty about the product!

[@BrooklynFragranceLover]

Appreciate you watching!

[@larrygeisler]

You guys are even color coordinating outfits now...that's next level reviewing 😀. Great job as always and hoping to get a chance to smell this some day.

[@guitarkoala5]

You guys are always such a fresh duo. Thank, Steven and Carlos! Hoping to get my nose on this soon.

[@Redolessence]

guitarkoala5 I hope you get a chance to try it as well!

[@markkornak830]

I appreciate your honesty when it comes to reviews. You both do a terrific job. I would love to try the "Intense".

[@Nights_eye_puppets]

Great video guys. I heard some good hype about the intense version as well as the noir flanker. Great to get two different perspectives on this fragrance from both of you. Love when both of you collaborate. Always a fun time. Have a great one brother.

[@Vex0136]

Carlos love the collaborations with Steven!! You guys are wonderful reviewers and your friendship really shines through whenever you guys get together. As always your reviews are fun and informative.

[@BrooklynFragranceLover]

Thanks very much!

[@kingofvic]

I just received my PVI bottle today along with X-batch and Rush of Unicorns and very excited to smell it. I noticed PVI has a rotten pineapple smell in the opening which goes away after 5 minutes or so. I have not seen anybody mentioned this from reviewers on youtube. I went to Basenotes site and it seems like other people have had the same complaints. The x-batch and Rush of Unicorns are okay.

[@jmhoke83]

I haven't tried any of these but love pineapple. My favorite is seeing you guys together ruling the fragrance review game! No offense to all these kids doin their thing but you guys bring class and knowledge. Love it.

[@BrooklynFragranceLover]

Thanks so much, but do you still feel that way when I'm drinking on cam? LOL

[@barnabuswizardspook]

WHAT!! I was just reading about this one today!! Good timing! thanks for the collab!

[@BrooklynFragranceLover]

Look at that! Was meant to be!

[@ericdunthorne1981]

I like the point you brought up about. The clones of Aventis having similarities but they also have differences that set them apart. Thanks for the giveaway and everything you do for the fragrance community. Colorado.

[@ryangioe8022]

Always enjoy the duo between you too, but I liked your butter analogy! Was just very funny

[@DanielGonzalez-cd6lu]

Very curious about Pinapple Vintage :D ! keep the videos coming! Love these collabs Carlos!

[@mohtown8751]

I'm happy you guys got this fragrance. I've been looking forward to hear your opinions! Hope to see you guys compare the Intense version with the Noir and the regular version!

[@BrooklynFragranceLover]

Thanks for watching!

[@KJ.392]

Great work. RIP to the great Carlos

[@jasonvegan5761]

Yes, it's the Batman and Robin of Frags!! I love these collabs, definitely need to get me some of this fragrance to hold me over until I can afford Aventus!

[@Rockyrjas]

Great video. You two make a good team. I have Aventus and love it. I got my first complement from a friend today. I was wearing Aventus in a suit and tie ad she says "You smell GOOD"!. I have not had the chance to smell this line of Parfums Vintage.

[@sneedville80]

Loved the honesty and transparency of both of you. Great video!!

[@MrWheelchairPreacher]

My favorite part is the collaboration, of course! You two have the same enthusiasm for fragrances.

[@hikmatsherafridi8569]

Thanks for the review! I enjoyed your hands movement, LOL. So many derivatives of Creed Aventus. I'll say the reformulation or the new batches of the original Aventus are also the clones.

[@mbings1717]

Thank you for the review guys. I thoroughly enjoy watching your collaborations. Haven't yet gotten my nose on this one. Thanks for the giveaway.

[@professorx8258]

My favorite part of the video was your description on how the two fragrances are under the same umbrella without being clones. I'd be interested to try Intense.

[@markafacreativesolutions9590]

Although I think people should regard each perfumes as an individual composition rather than a clone I think some of these fragrances are actually look like they are trying to mimic or copy some more popular and classic fragrances just like in this case. When we look at the listed notes it would sometimes really be off putting to still claim that they used same exact ingredients (of course they don't copy note to note but they take something out and add something else) and were yet still tried to come up with something else. To me it feels this way at least. Of course there could be cases where they use exact same ingredients but in different proportions so in the end the latter fragrance smells something totally different yet if that was the case people wouldn't be commenting on these fragrances the same way they do now, obviously. Cassis is in both of the earlier versions of this fragrance, however it is not listed as a note in this Intense version (which is actually leaves of a black/dark purple berry native mostly to Mediterranean area, Italy to be more specific). This note is a bit interesting one. It is also included in G. Armani Si, and if it wasn't for cassis this fragrance would probably smell like just as any other generic sweet women's perfume in the opening. The cassis in the opening adds some sort of salty-herbal, almost some sort of Olive-like vibe to the composition of the scent and saves the opening from being overly boring; however in the dry down to me Si becomes yet another vanillic, generic, sweet women's scent. I love the opening just because of the cassis note actually. I'd really like to see this note used in new and different releases in interesting ways. In my opinion it could contribute to the overall feeling of the scent, if used wisely. Thank you guys for doing yet another great review. I always look forward to see your next reviews. The content you provide really is a fresh breath of air within the tiring hurry of the daily life. With love and best of regards; Cheers!!

[@BrooklynFragranceLover]

Thanks for the kind words and in depth comment. All the best.

[@greatsungkim]

Finally, thanks guys! Congrats to Steven on becoming a new father! I've tried all three Versions of PV, they are good but not worth the current price. Happy 4th of July Carlos! Thank you and I look forward to the next 50 collab with Steven!

[@BrooklynFragranceLover]

And to you too!

[@MichaelRodriguez-ci3dr]

The dynamic duo strikes again. Great video you guys. I've been interested in trying out the pineapple vintage line, I'm guessing the longevity must be good on all three.

[@petethehawk5186]

Really nice video on this one guys. Thanks so much for making it as I'd not heard of them before. Definitely on the ever expanding check it out list lol. Cheers!

[@BrooklynFragranceLover]

Thanks Pete!

[@stephengroff95]

Enjoyed you guys finally reviewing good to see y'all like the scent!

[@deonmojo]

Another great video, Carlos. I enjoyed the fact that I get to hear the opinion of 2 fragrance experts whom I trust. Thank you for sharing your knowledge & insight. It helps me step my game up when it comes to colognes.

[@BarnesArcade]

I got the 3 sample pack from them. Like all, but Noir is favorite and definitely got wife's attention. Personally think Intense smells EXACTLY like regular, but with less performance.

[@brucevanhoose3647]

Nice video guys. I like that you admit that someone can utilize similar ingredients without having to be a clone. I have found that I really like the pineapple note in a few fragrances and it seems to turn into a discussion about how someone is trying to copy Aventus because of that note.

[@robertherrmann609]

Gentlemen! A wonderful review about a range I've also seen mentioned quite a bit, but never had the chance to smell. I love most of all the dynamic between you two, your styles are so different but also complimentary so it's a great match. I like Aventus quite a bit, not to the extent of keeping track of batch codes etc.... these would be good to try based on their own merits as individual perfumes! Many thanks, and stay cool this summer!

[@BrooklynFragranceLover]

+Robert Herrmann thanks so much for stopping by and your kind comment

[@christopherstein1301]

I like how you didn't fall into the same realm of people giving percentages on how close it is. It gives the future buyers some intrigue

[@artpipe]

What I enjoyed most is simply hearing your thoughts guys. Informative as always.

[@oversleep8283]

The intense is really a hit for me. I wear the aventus couples time and always think there is something missing. The freshness of the intense fill that gap for me. I really enjoy the bolder and the quality of the scent. btw. they are on sale at the moment.

[@omarlouhadj5229]

Thank you very much for all videos Please which parfum nice for the wedding

[@ricardoamesquitajr.7081]

We miss you Carlos!!!

[@AScentedSoul]

I love the idea and honesty about fragrances having the same notes but that doesn't mean it's a clone. Thanks for another great review guys

[@mar__k]

The bad thing about Parfums Vintage is that they don't communicate with their clients. I asked them several things via email over the month and no response from them.

[@msharks202]

I love how both of you loved the opening of this fragrance and how much it reminded you of aventus.

[@matttopcat9677]

I think the pineapple in this intense is done better than aventus and I prefer the musk in this

[@vahagnd.7817]

Thanks for review! After your video I want to try because I like very much Aventus!

[@OffDaCuffPodcast]

I love this fragrance! I like it even better than Aventus. It's more pronounced in my opinion, it's spicer to me and best of all, it's way less expensive! What's not to love right?? :)

[@HakimAbdulKhaaliq]

I feel that it is a stand alone fragrance not to be compared to Aventus or anything else. In the past I have gotten Mad crazy compliments on the Noir and Intense versions of this fragrance. I have all 3 versions and keep them all in my rotation. I wear the original as my signature sent. Great review Gentlemen! Keep it up!!

[@geet77777]

why do you prefer original over intense? and have you tried any of the DUA copies of Aventus?

[@theaceman2009]

you two are the best I can't get enough of you guys.. and the only juice I got to subtitud Aventus is club de nuit intense by Armaf but would be nice try something different..

[@robwhiff3411]

awesome collab , glad you did your take on this one ,didn't think you would. I sample the original and the noir and the noir is defenetly super close to aventus but missing the backbone , happy 4th ...

[@BrooklynFragranceLover]

You too buddy!

[@GMoney2006]

I tried a sample of this and it performs about the same as the other ones.I did get the most compliements with this one. But I still prefer Pineapple Vintage classic over the rest because of the tart pineapple note and how long lasting it is. My only gripe with the company is the price is too steep. The price needs to be more competitive.Like around 50-60 bucks.

[@kylestevens2141]

Love having both of you reviewing together. I would love to try this

[@cortezcharles3605]

Great review enjoyed. The commentary, I am going to make Pineapple intense my next purchase.

[@AK-ss6ty]

Tell me the most long lasting and projection perfume I want to gift my friend He works alot for about 16 hours

[@wxmath]

Love the "team" review. You guys have a great chemistry together.

[@BrooklynFragranceLover]

Thanks so much!

[@lerepjames4129]

Great video. First time viewer of yours. Redollecense is a great guest. He gets it.

[@maceton3868]

I liked that you reviewed the dry down and not just the opening. thanks for the giveaways

[@THOMKALLOR]

I've never put my schnozz to Aventus - someday though!! Nice review as always, and as everyone else seems to agree your collabs are just the tops! Happy 4th guys!

[@parisamaro6918]

Great reviews Carlos, would be AMAZING to have a top 10 Ambergris/Ambroxan fragrances with you Olya and Redolessence!

[@BrooklynFragranceLover]

Killer idea Paris!

[@mmmssbb23]

Brooklyn Fragrance Lover yeas,you have to do a video on top ambroxan fragrance,I can't afford ambergris fragrance though.

[@rigo.garcia]

yes, hows about Lelabo Another 13? my favorite after hating it and getting lots of compliments.

[@chrisfamia3762]

Why are some samples from PV sour/fecal in the opening?? What happened to this scent? Does anybody know?

[@Miguel-mx8rw]

Chris Famia I just received a sample smell bad

[@franciscocampos5935]

Love your videos Carlos love the style you and redolessence are some great people watching you from Las Vegas I have a 35 fragrance collection and I hope it gets better with time it does take time consuming and money but like Steven said you guys smell good so we can smell well Great job guys by the way I love the song that your videos start with

[@KWMonty]

I haven't had the chance to try these yet. If I can't win one of these sample giveaways, I will probably have to order the sample set. This is probably the 10th review I have seen on this fragrance and all but one have had basically the same conclusions.

[@BrooklynFragranceLover]

Thanks for watching and good luck!

[@goodscentsbadscentsshane615]

Super job, great review, I need to try this already!

[@BrooklynFragranceLover]

Thanks Shane!

[@mahs01]

You two are my favourite perfume reviewers on KZbin always looking forward to the vids ! :D Love from Australia

[@WSF176]

I'm waiting to see the Noir Intense version. I actually liked the originals a lot and had samples of both.

[@hellschatt]

I always get a small stroke when I hear US only :( Didn't try the intense version but the noir version is really an amazing scent. Smells close to Aventus but still different and the noirness gives a really good touch to it.

[@sorryremix]

No percentage given to the Cologne to compare to aventus was great because it makes stand on its own as a Cologne & not clone . Well done my favorite Duo !

[@keithbertrand8843]

The Dynamic Duo, great job guys. I would love to try this "alt" Aventus.

[@cranborile]

Love your vids guys 👍 I have pineapple vintage noir & absolutely love it. I have CA too & think overall CA is a better frag. If u factor in the $$ difference PV is a great buy 👍

[@thomasabrahams5063]

two of my favorite reviewers. Thank u for this video

[@loboloco08]

Not sure you guys will read my comments but I need to try anyway. I’m wondering if this house has a replica for Viking? Creed!!

[@ignaciosalazar7070]

First, thanks for the review guys. Second, in my opinion I think clones are just meant to be close alternatives to the original. I appreciate companies that cater to the majority of frag heads who maybe cannot afford expensive frags, like on this case "Aventus". I own various copies of Aventus and each accomplishes its job for the particular occasion I use it for, gym, work, etc...again thanks guys!!!

[@BrooklynFragranceLover]

Thanks Ignacio! I always appreciate you stopping by

[@disasnguy]

Nice discussion. With batch variations, sometimes Aventus doesn't smell like Aventus.

[@nolaboi504]

You & redolessence should do a vs between this & club de nuit intense man. On one of his top videos he said club de nuit is 95% like aventus. Yall have to make that happen. Love the work!

[@reydean1803]

thanks carlos love the dynamic between you and steven

[@jayway3926]

Where can i buy this cologne ??? Cant find it anywhere online only to purchase directly from the company which is in Dubai

[@hasib1625]

Liking it Bros. Like all your other Team videos our favorite part is you two getting together and sharing your passion for Fragrances with us Thanks as always ✌🏻

[@kylanes7652]

When you say that they have 3 different versions but they all smell similar to Aventus its because they don't want to do different batches and instead are giving us the choice

[@luiscampos6701]

Mr. Brooklyn & Mr Jerz City !!! Great Video guys , as always keep up the good work ... I have tried this one and the other 2 that this company has released which are Pineapple Vintage and Pineapple Vintage Noir and I think Pineapple Vintage Intense is a good alternative to Aventus by Creed but in my honest opinion I prefer Club De Nuit Intense Man over this one. CDNIM has a better projection and longevity and it costs less that this one , CDNIM $30 + shipping and this one is $85 + shipping . I also had my mom and my girlfriend tried this one and they both prefer CDNIM over this one .

[@Y123-o8t]

I love to spray this with the fragrance called gorse which smells similar to creed Virgin Islands and it makes a extremely greats combo!(:

[@effervescentreviews2385]

I am too excited the best part of the video is the very close comparison.

[@soulerflare7]

I wonder what would happen if I drank Aventus . Would I fly off on a unicorn?

[@BeffJezos_69]

Another great review! Curious how you think this stacks up agains Armaf's Club De Nuit....

[@Chomper750]

TriggerFingaRichie I have both and prefer Pineapple Vintage Intense.

[@seanr6579]

I like the idea of the notes and how there is 3 version of it . FL USA

[@hhhhhh904]

We definitely enjoy the duo reviews.. don't stop✌🏻

[@ilham40]

U guys should do review on the black xs l'exces which have pineapple note in it as well

[@ThyKingz]

Do you think the average nose can differentiate this from aventus? I'm thinking about getting a bottle.

[@Guinea54]

nice video guys..enjoyed the usual chemistry. even aventus doesn't smell like aventus 100 percent. Different batch variations can smelly a little different from one another.. I don't like the price of PV.. and id on't know if its the closest to aventus, but I enjoy the smell of all of them.. except some of the overly pineapple juice batches of PV.. but most samples I have tried are pretty damn good.. I actually sometimes like their woody note better than the wood note in aventus.. Theirs is more sharp or something where aventus has more of a pencil shavings vibe.. I actually think club nuit intense is closer to aventus but some don't like club nuit cause of the rough edges of it.. I think tho smell wise, PV noir and intense are my favorite aventus alternatives.. just not for the price.

[@BrooklynFragranceLover]

Well they're actually having a sale at the moment

[@Guinea54]

Thanks for the heads up ill check it out.. Just wish it was a little cheaper .

[@urstylo]

"full of life and vitality" I chuckled on that one LOL!!!!

[@edgy8481]

Curious about comparison with Aventus.

[@marketcipher]

Favorite part of the video is steven's sharp haircut!!

[@BrooklynFragranceLover]

Yup, new barber doing a great job!

[@sergs9455]

Your collabo videos are the best! Ready for another 50 :-)

[@CC33777]

I think this Pineapple Surprise smells something like batch 11z01, a little like 12e01, but very much like 13w01 but without the smokiness. Just kidding. Great video and I would love to try this Pineapple Vintage since I do like Aventus.

[@BrooklynFragranceLover]

Thanks for stopping by!

[@michaelmeraz3820]

What I enjoy most about this video is that theme song! I swear sometimes I can't get it out of my head! Lol

[@jamaica72001]

Fun video! Cassis is a black currant smell.

[@haylspa]

also noir beyond intense and noir intense not seeing reviews on these to other new ones

[@ishank123geek]

In London or Paris ...in which store it's available?does any one have idea? Cannot buy online

[@the-ecom-king2682]

Hey Carlos! Do you find PVI smells like BondNO9 HTTP?
