Nitro Platinum

I'm terrible at picking favorites, but this is definitely somewhere in my top 5 favorite fragrances now. An absolute banger for less than 30 dollars. I don't recommend this if you're someone who has to has a niche or super unique fragrance. This is safe to blind by and a mass appealing scent profile that will be loved by those around you, given that you don't overspray too much. I've heard this is a hybrid of Creed Aventus mixed with BR540, although I think that would be more accurate to Afnan 9pm Rebel, which is also fantastic. Nitro Platinum and 9pm Rebel are perfect counterparts of each other, smelling very similar, with Nitro being the juicy and fun younger brother to the slightly more mature but still fun and exciting 9PMR. I wear both frequently, with Platinum being the more daily driver fun appealing scent and 9PMR being the more reserved, maybe even intimate version. The opening of Platinum is blissful. Don't let the fruits fool you, the orange, black currant, bergamot and apple, with the touches of vanilla combine to make a ridiculously realistic and juicy pineapple juice scent. Imagine sweet, ripe pineapple juice with some kind of cream in it, maybe like a Dole pineapple softserve, but even juicier than that. It's a delicious opening that is super fun and if you like fresh fruit scents, you will be smelling yourself all day. One of my favorite openings of any fragrance ever. Nothing has ever given me this visceral of a "wow that's delicious" reaction. As fun as the opening is, it does dry down into something more masculine and mature. This is where those BR540-esque notes come in. The saffron and vanilla and amber and woods mix well while the pineapple stays pretty relevant, shifting that BR540 dna into something less middle aged manny and more creamy and inviting but still mature. It smells clean all day without smelling like a shower gel. I've bought 2 bottles of this, and while the bottle quality is inconsistent, the performance has not been. My first bottle had a terrible atomizer, making it easy to overspray trying to correct for the terrible spray performance. But I liked it enough that within a week I tried my hand at buying a second bottle and that one's atomizer was much better. However, the fragrance performance was phenomenal on both right out of the box. I got both from amazon, which appears to have been a safe buy, and right out of the box neither bottle required any maturation to be truly enjoyable. Straight from the box both bottles projected fantastically and lasted a very long time. I work 10 hour days, and when I wear this to work, I can still catch whiffs of it when I'm heading home for the day. As I'm typing this, I put this on about 2 hours ago, and it's still projecting almost as if I just sprayed it. And this stuff is strong, even for the price. I do one spray on each side of the neck, one at the base of the front of the neck, one on my solar plexus under my shirt, and one on the back of the neck. For a lot of people this may be too much. When my skin is properly moisturized, which it should always be when applying fragrances, it is bordering on too strong for 5 sprays, but is enjoyable enough to the people around me that it does not become offensive. I would NOT wear this many sprays if you work in an office environment. 1 spray on each side of the neck will be plenty for an office environment. I'd actually recommend 9pm Rebel in more professional settings, and be careful as that is also very strong. Make sure to test for a day around the house or out and about and have the people around you let you know how it's performing or if it's too much. For parties, clubbing, or date nights, I highly recommend this. Keep the sprays down if you're in an intimate setting or on a date. Male or Female, your date WILL smell this, and if they enjoy tasty fruity scents will be looking for excuses to get close to you and smell it again. I'm a single man and actively dating and this has been a hit with every woman I've worn it around (mostly within the 24-30 year old range if that information is relevant to you). For clubs or parties, this is mass appealing and while this does share a not very unique scent profile with things like Creed Aventus, it's fun and unique enough that most people will not recognize it as something they've smelled before. I would not recommend this as a gym fragrance. It's very strong and the sweetness, although not overly sweet, could become too much for those around you if you're generating a lot of body heat. Stick to something more of a straight up freshie. That being said, this is a pretty safe wear for all year round. It still performs surprisingly well in cold weather despite not being a wintery fragrance. Actually love the creamy pineapple and the saffron shows well in the winter air. Safe if you're in climate controlled indoor environments all year round. Amazing on summer nights. Not sure how I would recommend it for intense summer heat. The sweetness could become overwhelming. Keep the sprays down if you plan on wearing this in the hottest points of the summer. Overall, I HIGHLY recommend this one for the average man, especially if you're anywhere between your teens and late thirties. Not sure how suitable this is for middle aged men or older, but my 60 year old father asked me to buy him a bottle for his birthday within 5 minutes of being in the same room as me.

Grabbed this and the green one up, came in today. I write this as I test this out for the first time. How is pineapple not a note on this? The first 5 minutes atleast after testing a spray on my arm, almost ALL I can smell is one of honestly the most authentic pineapple smells I've encountered. After a little bit, the opening does show that kind of darker currant vibe with that AMAZING pineapple, touch of that pink pepper going on. Sugar as note is funny, I don't really get sugar at all, more just an overall sweetness, the vanilla that's in this greatly reminds me of the vanilla in Valentino BiRI, it's like the freshness of Aventus mixing with BiRI, or like invictus or something. Hard to describe for me. I get some of the cedar going on, but mostly I get that aromatic vanilla mixing with the pineapple/currant combo. Almost like they stuck that cedar in there to not let all the sweet shit get out of control. Was a little sad initially with this, as I've got a bottle of Afnan Supremacy collectors edition, and I thought for sure that this was like that same kind of thing. But smelling the two side by side, this is a much more warm weather accepting version of those kind of frags, thats how I'd put it. Supremacy for me, can't be worn on a really hot day, where as this? Definitely. Performance is really nice it seems off the bat. I won't be surprised when I still smell this tomorrow morning when I wake up. One little spray on my arm, and I can smell it basically all the time, so its got some good sillage too. A little redundant for my collection, as I've got what seems to be maybe 5-6 scents that I feel have touches/lots of pineapple-y vibes going on. But I do very much enjoy these sorts of scents. All in all for 30 bucks? Can't go wrong at all.

i must not know what pineapple smells like because contrary to basically every person on this page says it smells like pineapple i don’t get that lol. i get more of a nondescript fruit smell. not pure pineapple. but regardless...smells great. sweet and fruity. 2 people today have already stopped me at work to ask what i was wearing. i think i may be going nose blind to it because the sillage is very strong. borderline nuclear...but when i catch whiffs of it...its very nice. inoffensive. easy blind buy if you like fruity and sweet fragrances. not sickeningly sweet either. longevity tbd. edit: lasted my entire work day. strong sillage for the first 2 hours. if there’s any air moving at all...it could easily go beyond 6 feet. falls to about arms reach for a couple hours after that. skin scent until i took a shower the following morning. woody and vanilla dry down is pretty par for the course for this dna. im a fan. would definitely recommend.

Most reviews mention it’s long lasting and strong. My bottle opens up potent and loud. But it doesn’t last that long and sillage isn’t that strong. Average at best in both departments. I really like the profile, don’t get me wrong, I have nothing like it and decided to blind buy it based on many reviews here and Youtube. Usually, a strong fragrance lasts for about 10 hours minimum on clothes, I have quite a few frags which do that, you know, the kind of longevity that lingers on clothes after you take off your shirt and the fragrance can still be smelled. However, I don’t find that here, even the OG Nitro pour homme lasts and performs better than Platinum. Maybe I bought a bootleg version since the leatherish wraparound of the bottle is not stuck to the bottle. I mean, it’s wrapping the bottle but it’s loose. Like a ring. Here’s hoping it gets better with time. Update 11/11/25: it got better with time 🤙🏽🤙🏽

I am a fragrance "snob." I've long evolved from the puke water cheap stuff people LOVE today. I try to keep an open mind, but clones.....I can count on one hand how many were as advertised. I've been burnt over and over and over. Buddy of mine started getting heavy into colognes and naturally he was in the "whoa I got a good clone for XYZ, could it be all clones are better versions than the 220 dollar fragrances they are mimicking" phase of this hobby? So he was on a clone bender and he stumbled on this one. He thought it was an Aventus clone, and passed it on when it was not Aventus. I gave it a wearing and......I was blown away. Love this. It's simple, but it smells great and performs well. My question is.....is this a clone? I can only imagine how good the original is.......
