Beast mode pineapple juice
I'm not a fan of the now hyped niche brands and the rise of arabic brands, but Im not against their existence. People that like beast mode scents, have plenty of choices nowadays. I'm more into dynamic French compositions with aromatics, woods and spices.
Creed is a brand that i really like due to their great rounded and well blended scents, but their prices are crazy for me. I dont play those prices for a fragrance, no matter how good they are. But that's just my perspective.
Nishane is an example of a brand that have powerful blends but with a row finish. Fan your flames is a beast mode coconut with tobacco that i dont care. I sold my bottle cause its very static and pushy. Not my thing.
This one, surprised me in a way. There's an obvious resemblance to Aventus but different enough to be a stand alone composition. Aventus is dynamic, super fresh, well blended, with a smoky birch note, a great bergamot, a addictive blackcurrant and a soft aura overall.
This is just straight to pineapple juice with a high dose of moss in the background. Yes, it has bergamot too. The grapefruit give that bitter quality and there's patchouli and cedar in the middle, which round things up. But the moss and pineapple are so strong that the other notes have a minor role here.
The smell is static and dont change during the lifetime of the fragrance. And talking about longevity, this is beast mode. 5 sprays are enough to smell like pineapple and green moss for 12+ hours. I usually overspray fragrances but this one, with 8-10 sprays, it's super strong and headache inducing.
Overall, Aventus is miles better that this in terms of composition, but in longevity and price point, this is much better. The smell is likeable, dont get me wrong. And in fact, is probably the best from the brand, but its a bit synthetic and not rounded enough, specially in the first 2h, where the fragrance hás a strong projection.
Overall, i like it very much but i still prefer Aventus for a more dynamic and quality fragrance.
4/5
