Pinnace French Avenue 2024

Helpful Review
Why did I only discover you now...
I spent the entire summer searching for a summer fragrance that could truly convince me. Since I’m not a big fan of fresh scents, I found it difficult to find the right fragrance.
Some time ago, I received a fragrance package, which included a sample of "Pinnace | French Avenue." It’s a scent that completely escaped my notice amid the many new releases this year and last. It is said to be an alternative to "Pacific Chill | Louis Vuitton," which I have not tested yet.
Pinnace starts off very citrusy and fresh.
Immediately, I notice the slightly bitter sweetness of grapefruit, which smells very authentic with its fresh citrus aroma. Alongside it is the zesty sweet note of orange, which perfectly rounds out the fruitiness of the grapefruit.
As the orange takes a bit of a backseat, blackcurrant joins in.
While it is not very dominant, it is certainly noticeable.
The combination is complemented by green mint, which gives the fragrance a refreshing, almost clean nuance and minimal spiciness.
The scent progression is overall very linear.
Only in the drydown does it gain a very pleasant and slightly powdery note from musk, which I particularly enjoy.
Grapefruit and mint are the notes I perceive most intensely, and they remain in the foreground throughout the entire scent journey.
The longevity is good.
I can smell it for about 6 hours, although the intensity diminishes somewhat after 3 to 4 hours.
However, the sillage is only moderate and not very intense.
I would have preferred a significantly stronger projection.
It is a unisex fragrance that neither leans feminine nor masculine.
In summary, I can say that I really liked "Pinnace | French Avenue."
The citrus notes complement each other perfectly with the fresh mint, making it an ideal summer fragrance that fits well into everyday life and any situation, and even in very hot temperatures, it feels refreshing and not overwhelming.
I’m glad to have found a suitable summer fragrance after a long search that could convince me.
Due to the good price-performance ratio, I can only recommend it and will get myself a (admittedly not particularly appealing) bottle after testing.
