PINEAPPLE VINTAGE INTENSE GOLD - IS THIS THE ULTIMATE AVENTUS CLONE OR NO?

[@johnheinemann2748]

Love your videos. You convinced me to pull the trigger on this brand and I bought Emperor Extrait, which I absolutely love. I love the videos you and your wife do as a couple. It's clear y'all have a lot of fun together and I'm happy for both of you.

[@Fresh_Indeed]

I totally agree with the cost gripes. I mean, I think the pineapple vintage line is very nice and the ingredients used in them are high quality but the price hikes are ridiculous and it makes these cost way too much for clones. Pineapple intense is now 85 bucks for a 50ml bottle 🤦🏻‍♂️. I stopped buying from them because of the outrageous pricing

[@mikechivy]

It still lasts twice as long as Aventus for half the price. I’d say it’s a steal

[@jaytpmc]

They are over $115 now 😭

[@keoung5189]

I purchased PVI when it first came out at $80 for 100ml. Sadly my remaining 50ml has developed a skanky note. The fruity top note is gone. The refrigeration tip did not help. I do store it in my dresser in my bedroom, so storage isn't the cause. I'm hesitant to buy PVI again. I do plan to pick up Emperor as a replacement.

I’d like to enter. Maison margiela jazz club is the frag i want this year.

[@fragman4521]

Not so many reviewers talk about Aventus anymore. Instead more about Explorer, Club de Nuit intense and these PV clones. Haven't wore Aventus myself for months, but Explorer from time to time.. I would like to get Valentino Uomo Noir Absolu from Santa because I have been very kind this year. Have never smelled that fragrance either so it would be a complete surprise

Would like to enter, don’t actually want to win anything, just want to be part of something lol

[@narnialad1]

Thanks for the honest review(s) because I’d of your reviews, ok your wife’s inputs helped I made my first and second purchase from parfumes vintage. The first getting Pineapple Intense in the 50 ml and some samples and the second order XBatch in the 50 ml and with their holiday promotion two assorted gift boxes so friends can also try their products. Your videos got me interested in trying some medium higher quality perfumes. While I have accumulated a fairly long list of items I really want to try mainly from your videos but also from other videos in the same category, the ones I seem most interested in trying at the moment and wouldn’t mind getting as a Christmas gift are Zoologist, which I have sampled some and Imaginary Authors.

I’m interested in receiving this fragrance and entering. I’ve sampled it and most of the house and the quality exceeds some of my designer fragrances. I don’t view this house as a clone house although i know that’s what they do. They are a great alternative in quality to the originals. A similar cologne that clones a popular fragrance is Porpora by Tizirini Tarenzi. It’s my one and only wish for Christmas! And I’m happy to say I purchased it for myself last week for half the price of Portrait of A Lady, yet the ingredients have similar quality. They are both amazing but Porpora is a cheaper alternative if you want POAL.

I recently received a bottle of Intense Gold (my first PV purchase). I really enjoy the scent (especially the intense/sparkly musk) and longevity is staggering at 15+ hrs on my skin. I agree however: it's overpriced for what is is.

Love the house,but they have a problem responding to emails. I own emperor and love it, but I do agree that the pricing is high. I am getting pure malt for Christmas and cant wait to wear it. The next one I want to get from this house is brilliant bergamot, would love to get your take on that one. Best wishes for knoxville

[@YommiOfficial]

I'd like to be entered, I'm interested with the pineapple intense line because not that long ago I spent $120 on a 50ml of emperor extrait and what i got was a synthetic pineapple & pepper bomb, maybe this one is better? And my christmas dream fragrance would be my old batch of reflection man that i sold :(

[@nothing2seehere.goaway]

Parfums de Marly Percival or Tom Ford Mandarino di Amalfi are the ones that I would like as a gift for Christmas. In other news, another great video, Ashton.

[@riccockerham563]

I would like to be added to the list of potential winners for the Pineapple Vintage Intense Gold. I would love to add it to my collection. I have just started collecting fragrances, and I was just looking at Pineapple Intense last week, and thought that it was too high for a flanker. The fragrance that I have on my wish list this year is Armani Code Absalu! I love that fragrance! I have gotten a lot out of watching your channel, and it has helped me in making several buying decisions! Thanks for all you do!

[@someonesomewhere8805]

I’d like Pure Havane for Christmas, but my wife doesn’t like it. Go figure. I have Emperor Extrait and to be honest, I’ve only worn it once. It’s SUPREMELY smokey and has a tad more floral feel than I like. Hoping I can sell it at some point. Is there a fruitier version of Pineapple Vintage?

[@maverick003a]

Yes disappointed with the price increases but still really have a hard time paying adventus prices. Would love to receive intense gold as a gift. Now this may sound crazy but I loved Ralph Lauren Romance (black cap) discontinued. If you can find it that's the one that I really would love to have. Thanks again another great video review!!!

[@MsFishingdog]

Great reviews. Thanks so much for the video. Enjoyed watching.

Would love to be entered in the giveaway, and what I would want to get for Christmas...probably Oud for Greatness by Initio Parfums, just picked up a sample and it is a very enjoyable fragrance to wear. Thanks for the review and for all the hard work and research you do on our behalf.

[@JukeboxHero_]

I'd like to be in the giveaway. This is a crazy Christmas wish, because it's been discontinued for over a decade (it was the 2007 summer scent for men), but I would love to receive/find Escada Sunset Heat for Men. It wasn't my first fragrance buy, but it was the best. It was my signature scent for about five or so years, until I couldn't find it anymore. I've been "chasing the dragon," so to speak, since I stopped being able to find it, and despite having well over 100 fragrances now, nothing has ever gotten me the compliments or been as recognizable as "my smell" to other people than that fragrance (aside from maybe Tom Ford Soleil Blanc). and I've yet to find something as pleasant to my own nose as that scent. That starfruit top note was incredibly unique, and nothing I've found has captured that vibe perfectly, or even really gotten close.

[@Q_N-]

I really want to try Pineapple vintage but I’ve got wayyyy too many creed Aventus smelling fragrances. Seriously don’t need more. Plus I’ve got 2 original creed aventus’s which is why there’s no point, although I’m super interested 😭

Is emperor or emperor extrait more masculine than intense gold/intense? I like a slight smokey version to take away from the feminine fruity smell.

I would like to enter the giveaway. I purchased Emperor Emperor Extrait because Pineapple Vintage has been sold out for some time now. Extrait kills me, it's too strong.

Their price point is directly between designer and niche, I think it suits their quality perfectly; the price complaining is strange. It would only make sense if they weren't half the price of Creed.

[@nunyabidniz3262]

Ashton is awesome, although I respectfully disagree. It certainly has the same DNA obviously, but there are clear distinctions. Gold clearly has much stronger white musks, lacks the birch, is very syrupy and one dimensional - better in cooler weather. PVI is lighter, more complex, more birch and much better suited for spring/summer. That said, I also don't think you need both. I prefer PVI and Vanilla Intense. I want Xerjoff Richwood for Christmas👍🏾

[@sergemunitz1153]

I don't want the give away :) Great video, Ash, as always spot on: between the blown out of proportion variety, crazy prices and terrible customer service PV has in the US - I don't know how they are still in business! Agree on Emperor: the only one worthy buying from them, in my opinion (much more synthetic than the real Aventus but still nice for the price), in spite of the price. I sampled both PVI and PVIG: agree on minor differences but pineapple to me is riper in PVIG and greener and more sour in PVI, no?

[@GentsScents]

I can see what you're saying about the differences in PVI & PVIG yeah. Not enormous differences on the whole though, like you said.
