After having tested more than 100 fragrances in the meantime, I have now also ventured into the holy grail of the pantydroppers...
I tried to be neutral in my evaluation, because I simply don't like pineapple myself - according to my personal preferences it would have received zero points, because I would never wear it.

Now for the test.

The pineapple is right there, and it is pungent (artificial) and remains quite dominant for about 3 hours. After that the bergamot takes over the citric part. I don't perceive anything concrete about the heart note, and the scent becomes surprisingly astringent (jasmine/rose should actually counteract this...) and it reminds me of a fresh shower gel. So after 6 hours I have a slightly balsamic, citric aftershave scent (musk/amber/vanilla not really existing). If it would be like this all the time, I could even do something with the scent - just that 100 other scents smell like this

Durability and stillage are clearly positive! Close to the skin it holds loose 15h.

To sum up, I can imagine women would like that... but I would assume that they are not usually interested in fragrances - because for me there is nothing special about it - 08/15 among niche fragrances, so to speak.

With many unisex fragrances, I don't understand the classification - most of the time I'd classify the perfume more as a man's or a woman's - but with this one, I'm surprised that it's supposed to be for women only. Yes, the perfume is rather sweet but in a fine and not explicitly feminine way - I don't know exactly how to describe it... i would find unisex perfectly appropriate for this one. In the end it doesn't matter, because I love the scent! And as a lover of the discontinued Biotherm Eau Oceane (I know, it is also categorized as a women's scent) - I have finally found a Dupe! Which is kind of amazing, because if you compare the scent pyramids, you won't find a match. And yet the two fragrances are mega similar! Fortunately this one definitely lasts longer.

You have to get through the 1 half hour - for me medically high 10 - association camphor. Then it slowly becomes accessible - the emphasis here is on slow... The contained oud must belong to the spicy-bitter variant! After about 5 hours it gets really nice (but only very close) - then vetiver and patchouli and a hint of citric come through, so that it is now a different fragrance - patchouli and citric disappear again and a slightly spicy freshness remains until the end. On the skin the scent is perceptible forever - at least 15h. Sillage ca. 3h - the 'bad' hours of the fragrance.

In any case, I advise you to test the fragrance extensively before buying! For me personally certainly no perfume I want to wear, but it is not really badly made...

First of all the fragrance pyramid for you, not indicated above:
Ash, Tonka Bean, Santolina, Woody Notes, Cotogna Apple, Oak Moss, Absinthe, Wild Lavender, Tobacco Leaf, Juniper Berries, Jasmine, Iris, Patchouli and Balsamo Spruce

Is apparently no longer produced - the prices are currently around 150, - EUR - no idea if it was so expensive back then.

The fragrance takes a very nice development and somehow reminds me of TM A*Men Pure Malt.
