Pineapple Vintage X Batch
by Parfums Vintage
Pineapple Vintage X Batch blends a sharp, crisp pineapple and black currant opening with the aromatic freshness of Dior Sauvage, creating a clean, slightly sweet profile that feels both familiar and distinct. The fruity top note fades quickly, allowing a woody, ambergris-laden base to emerge with the presence of vetiver and virginian cedar, giving it a sharp, aromatic dry-down that feels more mature than youthful. It performs best in warm, summery conditions, with notable sillage in the initial hours, though projection is modest and the fragrance dissolves into a delicate skin scent within a few hours. The experience is fast-moving and non-linear, with the pineapple note giving way to a woody-amber presence that lingers faintly for up to eight hours.
Pros
- +Delightfully fresh and aromatic opening with a well-executed pineapple note that stands out without being sugary.
- +Offers a mature, confident character that avoids femininity despite the sweet accords.
- +Appreciated for its ability to collect compliments, especially in social or professional settings.
Cons
- −Extremely short-lived, with most of the scent dissipating after just 2–3 hours.
- −Low projection means it remains close to the skin and lacks presence beyond the first hour.
- −Fragrance composition is somewhat generic, relying heavily on Sauvage and Aventus templates without distinctive innovation.
