Refreshing and very pleasant
I bought this fragrance blind, €21 for 100ml. Right off the bat, it was definitely worth it.
The bottle is nice, nothing special but good enough (it looks different now, I uploaded a photo)
When you spray it, you immediately get the feeling of a very dense, partly very sweet/sour pineapple, to me it smells authentically like that (it practically makes your mouth water). And it doesn't change much as it develops. It's a pleasant sweet freshie, with very good longevity; if you like pineapple as a scent, I can highly recommend it. You shouldn't expect a Roja, it smells synthetically fresh, modern with ambroxan and pineapple.
It becomes woodier, but always remains pleasantly sweet; the late drydown reminds me a lot of Hacivat's drydown, but it doesn't have much in common with Aventus, which is a good thing.
I think it's a very nice perfume for warmer days, but I could only test it in winter so far.. :) and even in winter, the longevity was very good for such a fragrance. I have no regrets about the purchase and will definitely finish the bottle.
Best regards

That matches my experience exactly. I compared it directly with Hacivat and can say that the latter comes across as much earthier in the drydown. I can also confirm the acidity. But it's not unpleasant at all. A very bold, playful fruity scent with great longevity and, of course, excellent price-performance ratio.
