Pineapple Vintage X Batch

This is what Sauvage should have been and it's bizarre that Dior didn't release something like X Batch with the new EDP version. X Batch has a zesty pineapple and blackcurrant opening with a touch of sweetness which is in abundance to dominate the underlying Sauvage Base. This zesty fruitiness goes through to the mid where the Aventus and Sauvage accords surprisingly harmonise to produce something which appears to be a people pleaser given the compliments which result when I wear this. Good Projection and I can't wait to wear this one in the summer.

I received a sample of this along with PVI. Love PVI and got myself a bottle of that. This one smells terribly generic, mainly because Sauvage smells terribly generic. To me this is 90% Sauvage with a pineapple top note that is short lived but makes it more interesting and less linear than Sauvage. As said, its terribly generic....however I do like it and hate myself for liking it. Its like liking a Beiber song - you shouldn't like it, but I do. There you go, I said it! Ended up getting myself a bottle of this too

I like this scent very much it's sauvage edp with pineapple but that also changes the dry down as well, it's similar / familiar but it still smells different 8.9/10 imo, this is a twist on Sauvage but it's not youthful in any way, this is a mature frag and even though the citrus is pleasing, this isn't playful. This is straight up "I'm here, I am a Man and confident about myself, so much so that I can wear pineapple in my frag and you won't think it's feminine at all" lol

Pineapple and black currant of Aventus + Bergamot and Ambroxan of Sauvage = Dynamite! This is a love it or hate it fragrance and I love it. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery; and that's what Pineapple Vintage scents are... not clones... but flattery. Besides, Parfums Vintage scents are too expensive to be clones in my book! Let the snobs hate while the compliments accumulate.

Love the smell of this more than Aventus or Sauvage by themselves. Unfortunately this has poor performance for me and I like the smell of this more than the intense version.
