Pinnace by French Avenue

Excellent aroma, poor longevity

Very good fragrance; for me, it’s one of the most natural among Arab scents. Too bad it doesn’t last, barely noticeable. Totally unisex.

Bought a decant and wow, what a rich franchise! I’m picky about perfumes, really hard to find something I like, but this one hooked me. Very rich, fresh, elegant, and unique. An ADN I’ve never smelled before. The only downside is it’s not available to buy anywhere; I can already guess why… EDIT. Still seems beautiful for spring/summer, though I notice it’s somewhat unisex, even leaning feminine at times. STILL, I use it with great pleasure.

Simply wonderful, rich. Nothing synthetic, safe for heat but I recommend it 100%. A delight, if it’s a well-made dupe of Pacific Chill.

Smells like luxury and elegance, a 70% dupe of LV’s Pacific Chill which is a citrus bomb. On the opening, a sharp grapefruit recalls D&G’s Light Blue Forever but less acidic, with oranges and lemons (though not declared). As it dries down, roses, apricot, mint, and blackcurrants bloom over a base of ambroxan, wood, and musk that gives it masculinity while remaining unisex. It’s an Arab marvel, citrusy, floral, and creamy, ideal for summer. The key difference is the first 20 minutes are spicier and bitter due to lack of apricot, but then it matches the original. Its longevity beats LV: 6 hours on skin and over 12 on clothes. Projects strongly for the first hour, then becomes a personal bubble. I traveled from Miami to Santiago and woke up with my clothes still smelling of perfume and it still on my skin. It’s like the 3.0 version of Lacoste White, a love at first sniff.

Good evening, mate. I respect that you smell it that way, but I don’t share that you don’t respect that I smell it differently. Regarding the grapefruit you mentioned, I only detect Methyl Pamplemousse, no juiciness. The lemon is high in Citral and the green mandarin from Pacific Chill is missing; it smells more like regular orange. I do note the C14 aldehyde (peach), but unlike the LV, it’s very weak. As for the rest of the fruits, forget it. My opinion is from my own bottle, which I left to macerate to see if it changes. I don’t know if yours has been aging longer or is a different batch. I don’t like to be snobby about ingredients, but I also don’t believe I have the ‘nose’ to ignore opinions. Every perfume is a world and every nose perceives it as they wish. Some will love it and some will hate it, and that’s beautiful. Otherwise, we’d all wear the same perfume. I’m glad you like it and use it. In my case, maybe someone else will agree, but not me. I’d appreciate if you wouldn’t question your perceptions with absolute truths, since your opinion serves some and mine serves others. Best regards.
