Acqua di Pino Fougere

As others have said, this is not a fougere. And while it opens with a good dose of citrus, that element fades away within about 20 minutes. The heart of this fragrance is violet leaf, which lasts from the opening until the end. The violet is counterpointed initially by lavender for an lovely aromatic match up. The lavender gradually fades, allowing tonka, amber, patchouli and cedar (in that order) to step up. With five sprays on the chest and shirt, this lasts me a good six hours. The violet and cedar are the last notes standing, and they are quite enjoyable all the way until the end. For under $15, this is a solid choice.

Aqua di Pino is a very nice job from Pino Silvestre! Sharp Mediterranean combines very well modern with classic. The fans of Pino will be happy with this! I can say - the nice bottle gives a clue what to expect. I bought it for £ 15 approx from Fragrance X.

This is Mavive's interpretation of a nice Italian fougere. Not just the bottle also the scent reminds me a bit of what Acqua di Parma has on offer. The opening is nice and fresh with a good whiff of Italian citrus and light aquatic notes. At this stage it is similar to many other scents of the same family. A little later the pink pepper adds some spice and the florals give it a nicer softer touch which i believe comes from the violet leaves. The lavender and geranium are not overly strong but prominent. Succulent vetiver and a drier cedar make up the base with the florals still in the background. Overall a very nice fragrance with the Pino Silvestre DNA . Love it.....

Yes, as mentioned, has all first impressions of L'eau Super Majeure D'Issey - which happens to be one of my personal favourites. There's the mineral sea notes, the salt, and the cedar and violet. Issey is the OG - Pino Fougere seems weaker. The blending of the notes in Pino is excellent and very high quality. There's depth to the lavender and it mixes with the violet impressively. I also get the appealing orange note in the top. Although, it appears to go to a skin scent quickly, it's a highly appealing fragrance - and excellent value! If you like L'eau Super Majeure D'Issey, then get it!

Simple connection for me: If you know L'eau Super Majeure D'Issey, this is the same idea. On me, Super Majeure is a compliment puller, long-lasting, super sea salt/marine/aquatic/fresh spicy woody. Think of Pino Fougere as a beginner, tamed version of the DNA. Slightly more fresh/green. Weaker. The opening felt like Nautica Voyage, but then... got a clearer image. For the price point, I would go for IM as I've gotten tons of wear and enjoyment from it. Was watching vids, definitely curious, as I enjoy Pino Silvestre for it's style.
