Pineapple Vintage X Batch Intense unfolds with a bright, fruity opening dominated by pineapple, black currant, and bergamot, creating a sweet yet fresh aura reminiscent of fruity pebbles or a refined summer fruit salad. The midphase reveals a woody-aromatic core with lavender, neroli, and virginian cedar, lending structure and depth without overwhelming. The dry down is softly sweet and ambered, with vanilla and ambroxan giving a smooth, wearable finish. It leans more toward Aventus than Sauvage, with stronger projection and better longevity than the original X Batch, though some note the fading of the creamy fruitiness and a loss of initial intensity after just one to two hours. The scent is well-balanced, stylish, and polished, with a modern, chic quality that suits daytime wear.
