Tropical Intense X

DONT smell this on paper, smell it on skin. I've sampled about 5 or 6 of the Emperor line before and compared to them the X version is a huge improvement. PV is known for their natural high quality ingridients and its no lie when they said they have access to ingridients now that was very hard to get before. I got a $500 haul and got the new Claudius X, Augustus X and Tropical X travel sizes. All superior improvements to the Emperor lineup, better blended and even superior quality believe it or not. This smells absolutely nothing like Pineapple Vintage Intense. Its better. On paper Tropical Intense X smells like Aventus, so do the other X's, but on Skin its a whole different fragrance. On skin all the Tropical notes come alive. Its a unique experience, I didnt expect that. Tropical Intense X literally smells like Aventus with a natural photo realistic Pina Colada. Yes, Pina Colada. This is totally unisex. Women would love this scent. I personally love this scent. From start to finish it has this semi-cool aqueous freshness to the realistic Pina Colada. At certain times you can really smell the natural strawberry note come through for a couple seconds. Don't worry about the rum note its not noticeable. This is a fresh Aventus photo realistic Pina Colada. Everything is blended masterfully to give off a superb natural photo realistic Pina Colada vibe with the fresh aventus vibe. Cool weather only. Nothing above 85 degree weather. This is a fragrance for spring fall and Cool summer days and nights. Of course winter too. If you want something to CUT THROUGH the humidity and hot weather then get Claudius X. Its build for that and I tested it in the Midwest where its very humid and 93+ degrees Projection for this one was a good 5-6 hours for me. Very good performance. Initial 2 hours is about 3ft Projection then its an arms length. Becomes a stront skin scent after 5-6 hours and still noticeable to the nose.

Given the note breakdown I was expecting a fruity blast or just something insanely unique. But unfortunately to my nose this just smells like a slightly different Creed Aventus. So it’s not bad but it should’ve been great😞
