Pineapple Vintage Intense Fragrance Review & Giveaway | The Best Creed Aventus Clone

[@Angelo101117]

Just to let you know the code GentsScents doesn't work. Code that does work is Gentscents.

[@GentsScents]

They said that both GentsScents and Gentscents would work. I'll write them. Thanks Angelo.

[@Angelo101117]

It doesn't buddy. I've tried.

[@GentsScents]

I know, that's why I've written them to see if they can correct it or not. Thanks.

[@seanr6579]

Gents Scents I just tried and Gentscents work's . hope that helps everyone

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.

[@adissalihovic7036]

Just a quick tip: the reason why you cannot pick up the scent is because your olfactory receptors became saturated with the scent, it is called receptor accommodation. What you need to do is determine which scents you become quickly accommodated to, so that you do not expose your nose to them from up close so much, then you'll be able to enjoy the scents for much longer.

[@ImagineScent]

This company just contacted me as well. I wonder which one they are sending me. Hopefully it's this one because I'm pretty sold from your review lol. Great video as always man! :D

[@geneinpennsylvania]

Best detailed specific reviewer of frags This is just another aces review. Ashton has led me to over 90 scents Peace

[@Daruffy]

Based on this video, i finally got my bottle in the mail yesterday. Smell wise i actually prefer this over Aventus personally. It just seems overall juicier and nicer, but i have the same issue of going Anosmic to it.

[@BAM81]

I just put in gentscents all lower case, and was able to get the discount applied. Thanks, Ashton, for getting us the "hook up."

[@Benjamin-nm4jd]

i just received my 50ml PVI on 4-18-19 and the pineapple note smell way off, very pungent odor and rotten pineapple funk to it....extremely off putting, maybe it need some time to mature or aged but the way it is now that sh*t is unwearable, both of my Emperor EDP and Extrait do not have the rotten smell and they both are top notch, stay clear from the PVI.... Don't say i didn't warn ya! lol

[@RDJ9887]

Heard youd had to refrigerate pvi for a while to remove the bad scent

[@Benjamin-nm4jd]

@@RDJ9887 After 6 months or so, the rotten pineapple funk is gone, it smell a lot better now.

[@oldnunimproved]

Hey Ash, it was your good review of Pineapple Vintage Intense that led me to their site and got me to place an order on parfums vintage. However, post placing the order, the experience was terrible. No one responds to the website support email id. Mail after mail to support went unanswered and then suddenly i get a message from my credit card company that the order has been cancelled and the money refunded. No communication from PV about why this happened, or in fact that this has happened. The whole experience was like dealing with a fly-by-night operator - an email id that no one responds to, complete lack of communication and orders getting cancelled. You did mention that you've been in touch with the owners of the company so was wondering if you could throw some light on the above or gimme an email id for the company i could check with. One that someone actually responds to. Are these guys genuine or just another hit and miss clone factory? Any info would be most appreciated. Thanks a ton in advance. Mark.

[@enriquearellano4482]

Hey Ashton! Enjoyed the detailed review & it's great that you went that extra mile emailing the perfumer. Back in December I ordered the Original & the Noir version from their site. Definitely want to try a sample of the Intense before I pull the trigger on it. Super itchy trigger finger right now... LOL!

[@eugen86]

This drives me nuts. It is very difficult to find in EU. In my country there is no online retailer or brick-and-mortar shop that sells this :(

[@TheMelon9106]

I've wrote them 4 TIMES via mail and facebook too, they didnt even answer me about shipping to Europe. Shittest marketing and customer management ever which I saw by a fragrance house. Huge disappointment, I will never recommend them to anyone.

[@eugen86]

Good to know. I guess I will just delete this from my blind-buy shopping list.

[@TheMelon9106]

Delete it totally. Unacceptable attitude.

[@mikay9138]

Same here, emailed them 3 times without any answer!

[@TheMelon9106]

Mika Y such a shame

[@SassyScentsTM]

I've been in your FB group for a while now. I post SOTD pics there all the time. Definitely interested in trying PV Intense. This was the review I was waiting for to decide whether I was getting PV Original and Noir or PV Intense and Noir. Definitely getting PVI and Noir. Thank you!

[@ustishrike5902]

I have my own personal bottle and also an extra bottle-it's a 50ML if anyone wants to I'm willing to sell it for half price.

[@dylancogdell5233]

Do you still have the pineapple vintage intense? If so what would you sell it for? and is it a whole bottle

[@pandorap872]

Hey Ashton! Would love to try PVI. Have not tried any PVs and I will compare it with Cedrat Boise to decide which one to purchase soon. No facebook account but I saw in one of your replies that I can still enter the giveaway. Keep churning them quality videos, man!

[@Razr-247]

I ordered sample of their 3 offerings last week and they arrived yesterday super quick considering I'm in the UK but the packaging was not sent from America it was a standard bubble wrap envelop and UK postage stamp an it so I can only imagine they send the stuff in bulk to a second party here in the UK. I love all 3 and really good performance let's just say I'm surrounded by a really nice fruity pineapple scent cloud bit too much at first but it drys down and become a bit easier an the nose. The packaging is top notch for samples.

[@Bmacvlogs23]

Where to buy creed and bond for good price

[@fatboy5926]

Just got some samples and I think I will let them sit for a couple of months (seen a couple people say their fragrance didn’t smell right but once they let them sit for a while they matured and now smell great) just got PVI and Vanilla Intense and the pineapple note honestly smells sour/rotten 🤷‍♂️

[@rafaelbalarezo4059]

You remind me like Jim Carrey on Yes Man! Movie. Thank you for the Anosmic definition very educative review beside the offering. Thanks for Sharing.

[@Longshore79]

Great review . I get anosmic to it as well . It has to do with the iso e super . People can pick it up on me from 10 feet away! Great stuff

[@mikeacord5329]

Thanks for the review and the discount code! PV has become my go to scent for the summer. Won't take me long to finish the bottle. I'll pick up the Intense formulation when I finish the Classic bottle. HUGE compliment getter for me. Btw--received my Gallagher Tobacco Silk last week. Love it.

[@MegaChampion777]

Hey man what’s your opinion of the trending complaints of the stinky opening on some batches? Just picked mine up and was grossed out at first then after 10 min it turned into a compliment king. Thanks dude

[@anautumnforcrippledchildre8369]

Your review makes me want to buy this, Ashton. I still haven't sampled any of the Pineapple Vintages even though I've wanted to for a while now... I'm quite sure I'll like them. If I do get a bottle, should I get the Intense or the Noir?

[@cranborile]

Great review Ashton 👍 I have the PV Noir is there enough difference to warrant having this one also?

[@cfuture3209]

You don't get any smokiness? I know it may be light but the mossy birch in the dry down is excellent. There is a smoky nuance that is sublime Cfuture

[@GentsScents]

Not very much, no. Noir has a bit more smokiness but this is much, much lighter on that note just like normal Pineapple Vintage is.

[@nm0r]

Hey Ash, Did you got the Intense bottle, nice! It sounds really great.

[@AbrahamSalazar210]

Fantastic review. PVI is the best Aventus clone on the market, hands down.

[@ElnuevoCologne101]

great review Ashton! I really don't think Aventus is the big deal so I'm in no hurry to try this brand, but still it's good to know that they are improving their products

[@Guinea54]

Thanks for the review.. Ive only seen one other review on this from Cody, he didn't seem impressed.. According to him it was the same fragrance in smell and performance as the original... The thing I worry about is their consistency. Even within the original I have smelled different batches.. One batch smelled like pure pineapple juice straight up.. and another batch smelled more bergomot/citrus fresh.. I thought vibrant leather smelled a lot like the berg/citrus batch. I can't remember if you did a review on vibrant leather.

[@GentsScents]

Haven't reviewed Vibrant Leather yet, but I do own it. There's a little bit of a difference between this and the original, but it's not a huge difference. Admittedly I haven't tried other bottles of the same fragrance so I'm not sure about consistency between batches. Basically, if you like the original you'll like this but like I said in the video it would probably be redundant unless you're just a huge PV fan.

[@Guinea54]

yeah id on't own either, just decants.. I enjoy it, vibrant leather is also damn good for the price.. Id get the intense simply if the performance was better.. some say the performance is the same, not sure , I need to get a sample of it ... I can't miss out i think i have tried every aventus clone there is thus far lol.

[@scottwilbur25]

I just layer this PVI with my CDNI and I'm not sure my Aventus is any better. Great fragrance and wonderfully fruity and intense as a stand alone fragrance as well! Thanks for the review.

[@PrinceOfQ]

Another great review! I have a sample of the Vintage Intense already on the way. I also already own a big bottle of the Vintage. I'm eager to see how similar they are. Keep up the great work you do! 👍

[@wadsyname]

do you recommend this one or the vanilla vintage intense?

[@ardenpowers7730]

Great detailed review Ashton . . . Seems likely to be appreciated by the ladies also ! Thank you for going the extra mile with the perfumer on this one !!

[@DailyDoseofAdam1]

Hello, how would you rate the king creed aventus?

[@cknasir]

How would you compare this to PVI Gold?

[@ernest4483]

Great content is the Pineapple Vintage Intense an alternative to Creed Aventus cause I haven't own Creed Aventus but I have smelled the Aventus. Thank you for the reply back

[@chrisfamia3762]

Has it gotten watered down over the years

[@RobertAlvarez70]

So how would you you say this performs compared to the original

[@coolslc]

ha! Ordered the samples before watching your video... really looking forward to trying them, I love fresh scents, Aventus is amazing but not $300 amazing..., so hopefully one of the 3 will do it for me, good review btw 🍻

[@ND-ku4yo]

How simimar is this to PV Empreror Extrait?

No, they won't. I'll enter you!

[@danyellg3079]

Hey.. The intense doesn't have black writing and black top? Its gold writing correct?

[@cirealreviews1776]

Pineapple Vintage Intense vs DUA Poseidon Elixir's 13ZZ Which one is superior for that famous ambergris dry-down??

[@JohmathanBSwift]

I do the same thing if I smell this one very quickly up close. " Anosmic " .Had to look up how to spell it. It Ghosts on me if I smell it right after I spray it. It's there, then it's not, then it's there. Have samples already so, I don't need to win.

[@cedenoanthony45]

Awesome review. I wanted to ask you Ashton is Parfums vintage a Designer or Niche brand?

[@juno1597]

WOW what are the chances that 2 people can have DDR and Fragrences in common.... even funnier we are in same state I believe lol you live in Tennessee right? I stay in nashville. I myself have also played DDR for years though I was never good at perfect attack, which you seem to be really good at. 9 and 10 step heavy is about the best I can do myself, and a bit lower doing heavy doubles You ever got into Pump it Up? that was my prefered game, though I like them both. anywyas great review as usual :)

[@GentsScents]

I worked in an arcade for years and played fighting games and DDR religiously. I did play Pump It Up and got good at that too, it's way more difficult than DDR in my opinion. Some of those songs were insanely hard.

[@juno1597]

Guessing one of those fighters was Marvel Vs Capcom 2 or Tekkan? If your MVC2 is anything like your DDR I don't want any of that lol. Well nice man, you for sure still got it hahaha... I don't think many of your viewers know how hard it is to AA even a fairly easy song, let a alone a hard song espcially with no speed mods. Maybe one day you can show your viewers some of your doubles xD. Keep it up man!

[@GentsScents]

Yeah it was MvC2 and Soul Calibur 2 for the most part. We had a bunch of Tekken cabinets but I never got into Tekken as much as the other two. I played Street Fighter 3 3rd Strike some but I was mediocre at that one.

[@GentsScents]

I go to Nashville every couple months or so for business so I'm out that way a number of times each year. Technically my business office is based out of Nashville even though I live in the NE corner of the state.

[@tomclyce3112]

I agree. I got the Intense and absolutely love it.

[@antoniocognato5023]

does it smell like pineapple? fruity? or smokey woody?

[@albertogonzalez7166]

Great review, Ashton. 👏 Parfums Vintage has been getting a lot of hype. I personally haven't smelled any of their fragrances but I do read a lot of positive comments about the juice. I'm intrigued now and need to get my nose on the 3 versions. Would you prefer this Intense scent over Aventus? Ridiculous question but I have to ask.

[@whoakhonga6780]

Is it really made in France as stated on the box? I thought they were a local US perfumer.

[@the-ecom-king2682]

Hey bro! Do you believe this one smells like BondNo9 HTTP? or closer to aventus? Thanks

[@harpoleon6806]

U must if believed him when he said http smelled like aventus tooo...... it doesn't not even close as all

[@josemaldonado4816]

Nice job, thank you for the review!

[@williamdalexander4858]

Hey brother,,, can you tell me if bvgari man in black smells anything like muglar pure havanne....... I own man in black and want to buy pure havanne, but I don't want of my fragrences to smell even a little like the other, I want them all to have completely different smells....... thanks

[@konvictadam]

I haven't smelled man in black but for pure Havane it smells like pure malt(opening) with a background of cigars

[@GentsScents]

Man in Black is closer to Spicebomb. Pure Havane is definitely different enough that it wouldn't be redundant. Thanks.

[@williamdalexander4858]

Gents Scents ,,, where can I buy samples,,,, I want pure havanne, pure malt, Tom ford grey vetiver??

[@itsmeerobb3283]

Ordered it right after I saw this video lol.... can't wait to get it.

[@shave-a-thon3415]

I was going to order it but when I saw the code took off $5 only to see shipping added back $6.40 for 3 little atomizers, I said forget it.

[@smifnwess93]

Does the code still work

[@happykillin]

Definitely would love to try this fragrance

[@IYHuckleberry]

Thanks for the video. I don't use Facebook, can I still enter the giveaway somehow? Also, what would make this a perfect 10 in your opinion?

[@hasib1625]

Great review Bro Haven't tried this. Sounds good though Thanks

[@Robbledinooo]

Hey Ashton, the code for parfums vintage doesn't seem to be working.. says its invalid

[@GentsScents]

I'll write them and ask about it. They said it was just for the sample set I believe.

[@GentsScents]

Gentscents is working, they fubar'd the spelling

[@Robbledinooo]

worked! cheers Ashton

[@nirvanaofmonkasar1107]

Aston if you dont mind may I ask what is your and your wife occupation/profession ?

[@simodthebod4256]

Really interesting review! Enjoyed the breakdown of how they altered and constructed the fragrance. Maybe you could do a video on the process of making a fragrance? All the best mate!

[@anaussieinjapan]

Add me into the comp man 🙌 Nice video man

[@lecielo]

I'm considering Mancera Cedrat Boisé or Pinapple Vintage Intense. Which one do you prefer?

[@GentsScents]

Myself Cedrat Boise, my wife Pineapple Vintage Intense.

[@lecielo]

I've never smelled either but everyone i asked a few others in the frag com and it was unanimous everyone said they prefered Cedrat. Here's a follow up question. What are your favorite fragrances for a man from the house of Mancera and Montale? And what do you think of Montale's Black Aoud?

[@anthonyrago62]

Big fan of your videos!! I've been wanting to try PV for a while now. I'd love to try a sample. 🍍

[@brettmcleod9439]

If you had to choose between this and CdNI, which one gets the nod?

[@GentsScents]

For me personally this one and it isn't close. Admittedly there is a large price difference, but to me (and my wife) PVI is far superior.

[@brettmcleod9439]

Thanks! I used your code already. I have a feeling I'll be picking up a full bottle at some point down the line...

[@shave-a-thon3415]

Can you tell us what the size of the samples are? It's not listed on their site or i just couldn't find the ml amount. You would think that a new, small, niche house that's introducing a line would have a lower price point (like half of what they're charging) at the beginning because: 1) There's really not much distribution to B&M stores, so it's hard to test it before purchasing. 2) Since they're selling direct and avoiding distribution for the most part, why not charge the wholesale price that a distributor would normally pay since they're eliminating that additional markup? It seems a little absurd that a company is going to expect a fragrance to take off on positive reviews alone. Even the major players stick those fragrance cards in magazines and Sunday newspaper inserts along with handing out free samples in dept. stores to get their top shelf bottles off the ground.

[@GentsScents]

I understand where you're coming from. The sample bottles are 5ml bottle size but I believe they're filled with about 3ml of fragrance if I had to estimate. You can't see the fill line because the label completely covers the bottle so I'm guessing based off of turning the bottle sideways and viewing through the bottom.

[@shave-a-thon3415]

Thanks for the information. At about 89¢ per ml after discount coupon for the sample set, it was worth it as that's just a little more than what the regular bottles are pro-rated. Unfortunately the added $6.40 shipping for those three little bottles of 9 ml worth of fragrance put the kibosh on my order.

[@waseembangash5839]

I have samples of Classic and Noir but I haven't had a chance to wear them in public since I'm waiting for it to be hot enough. I want to be entered to win so I can try Intense as well

[@bloodymirgoku]

How long does it take to arrive if ordered ??

[@bigdrews366]

bloodymirgoku I ordered mine 5 days ago and the PayPal went through but I haven't received any tracking #s...guess I takes a couple weeks from what I heard...did u receive yours yet?

[@bloodymirgoku]

Michael Andrews yes I did, I was not provided with tracking # but received it took about 10 days

[@Tambura330]

They didn't give me a discount, there was no place or chance to enter the code. What's up with that?

[@GentsScents]

It's for the samples, the code is still good when you go to check out

[@Tambura330]

[@BigRudy53]

Nothing special here! Just received a big bottle of Emporer and this is not close to Aventus. Sure buy this for whenever and save Aventus for special occasions. I also contacted parfums vintage and told them this Emperor lasted only 2 hours and they replied buy samples first, Really!? Lol this place is a joke, get Aventus if you want quality, but if you are a fake Rolex kind of guy go with this stuff.

[@ccuk453]

I've been banned from purchasing from parfums vintage because of my honesty with them. I purchased PVI and the opening was a burst of fruity pineapple and the dry down was insane. Best compliments I've ever had. I then purchased another bottle 6months later and it DID NOT HAVE THAT fruity pineapple opening like the first bottle. Instead it smelt like pollen. And the dry down wasn't the same. I complained to parfums vintage and they brushed me off. I then purchased emperor edp and after 15mins the scent dissapeared off my skin. Their batches are inconsistent and weak. Apart from the very first one I bought 2 years ago. It's ashame they can't keep the consistency. The formula has definetly changed and what is being mentioned in this video I agree with 100%

[@TheScentinel]

Excellent Ashton. intense for the win!

[@mexighosthunter8635]

So the real question is ...is it better than the king aventus?🤔

[@bowen704]

Did anyone order this sample on the 23rd of may and still waiting for it to arrive? Cuz uhh I am...

[@GentsScents]

Have you reached out to them? If you don't have a tracking number I'd definitely get in touch with them.

[@bowen704]

Gents Scents I did they somehow couldn't find my tracking info so they sent it out again and should have it by tomorrow. Got kinda worried thinking maybe it was stolen. Phew.

[@TruthSerum101]

After three weeks of waiting for an order that didn't arrive, they refunded my money.

I just got my pineapple vintage intense in the mail today and my atomizer is the old crappy kind with just a small little puff. Nothing like what you get when you do a full press in this video. :l

[@GentsScents]

That sucks man. You got a full bottle and it has the old style? That one really did just kind of make an ultra atomized puff.

[@SGyru]

Yea. Kind of let down given I research the things I buy and that was one of the things I really liked and part of why I finally decided to buy it. It looked good like the atomizer for Dior and Narciso Rodriguez for Him. It's annoying because I had just watched DracDoc's video on Pineapple Vintage Intense where he talks about how he hates that they use the same bottle for different fragrances.

[@judthestudo2]

Still haven't smelled any of these. Thanks for the review. Please enter me in the giveaway.

[@tally1604]

wow, that's like the third aventus clone this year alone.

[@GentsScents]

I don't plan on covering anymore for awhile.

[@tally1604]

Gents Scents I didn't mean your third review, Ashton. I meant third clone to have been released this year. I think they are going to kill the goose that lays the golden eggs if they keep that up.

[@kaliberbhj8372]

thanks for the review. I think the person creating this has no professional experience and that's not taking anything away from that person. the fragrances seems to be a success wether you see it as a clone or a stand alone. however I do think they should try to go away from this aventus genre now. quit when you're at the top. I haven't tried them but that's what my brain tells me :)
