Pineapple Intense

Is it Worth It?

Pineapple Intense is a great choice for anyone who loves the Aventus vibe but wants a sweeter, fruitier twist. It's versatile enough for the office or a casual night out. Given that Aventus is now ridiculously expensive, this is a great alternative. If you want a slightly sweeter take on that iconic scent profile, grab this and don't look back.

Notes & Nuances

Pineapple Intense opens with a blast of sweet, almost candied pineapple. You get that signature Aventus DNA, but the pineapple is definitely amped up, making it a touch sweeter and less smoky than Creed's original. The bergamot and apple add a bright, fruity lift. The heart brings in a woody birch note, softened by jasmine and a hint of earthy patchouli. The dry down is a musky, slightly mossy vanilla that lasts for hours. It’s about 95% similar to Aventus. The main difference is that the signature smoky birch in the Creed is toned down a bit in favor of the sweeter pineapple.

Wear time & Sillage

Montagne Parfums delivers solid performance here. I get around 7-8 hours on my skin with moderate projection for the first 2-3 hours before it settles closer. Not a beast, but definitely respectable for daily wear. Projection is a good arms length at its peak.
