Great review! Yeah, after getting a full wear in on this one the other day I can say the performance on Pinnace is the biggest issue. And I think in my review I kept saying this one lacked some of the apricot and mint from the OG and I smelled mire orange... I think you nailed it on saying it's lemon... it's more of a citrus blend than a signature apricot! Already have it back in maturation... definitely a bigger fan of the Lucianno, but I'll see after a month or so LOL
@@TheNoviceKnows yea bro this one so far is definitely lacking in a few areas. Hopefully it gets better over time but idk, there seems to be so much of a gap with this one that I dont think it will to the point where it will be much closer.
Honestly one of the reasons I REALLY like the Dumont Nitro’s is because the bottles are near perfect for fragheads. They look 🔥 lined up. The only one thing missing is a magnetic lid but the lids are snug AF. 🤷🏽♂️. Magnets are nice but very few can handle a full 100 ml and glass bottle
I respect you and Aromatix and I know we all have different noses . He has been hyping this one like crazy , and saying is the big thing in clone fragrances . He says it has the apricot like the LV , but I know you are the best in side by side comparisons . Just funny how we each have a different takes and opinions on the same fragrance .
Yea I mean I respect Neeb’s opinion, idk if maybe he had a fully matured bottle but this one while it smells good imo, it just isn’t that close to the OG…def not anywhere as close as the Alexandria imo. But hey it could be a skin chemistry thing 🤷🏾♂️
@@jamarr911 Great points ! Just shows like you said how we all have different skin chemistrys with a fragrance , and there is no right or wrong opinions .
I do smell the apricot note. Clone or not, it’s an AMAZING summer fragrance. I bought it for €40 and it’s totally worth it. Just because it doesn’t smell 1:1 with Pacific Chill, doesn’t mean it doesn’t deserve the hype
It seems FA Paris has two project teams. One who's making bangers. The other who.has misses. Weird. Does this have to do with all the re-formulatipn issues happening out there? Thank you for the review.
@@shmoopiebear thanks for watching, and I just think with any clone company, some releases will be nearly identical and some wont/aren’t. Definitely from what Im seeing, Pacific Chill seems to be a hard fragrance to really clone super accurately.
Haven't tried Lucianno but in the EU Alexandria's Pacific Coast is x3 the price of Pinnace and between the two I'll go with Pinnace due to quantity per price. If Alexandria could drop their prices by 30%, I'd be inclined to buy but financially, to me, it's not worth paying 3 times the amount to experience the DNA.
@@jamarr911you never trust the first batch… that’s the hook… and the whole thing about regulation changes and ingredients being banned is a MYTH created by the companies as an excuse to give less quality.. There’s zero documentation online or any sort of guidelines from any government or global entity that there’s any sort of regulation on fragrances. Just like vitamins or supplements it’s the Wild West…. If there’s regulations or guidelines and I’m wrong someone please link to documentation and government websites
@@jaredgriffith5994yep… most houses get you with the first batch and then they dilute the product. They created a myth to blame it on regulation. But that’s not true. There’s ZERO regulations for fragrances. Only for cosmetics. But fragrances are not regulated just like vitamins and supplement are not regulated.
Thank you for the honest opinion, i think you're the only one TH-camr I blindly trust, please dont change 💪👏
Thank You! 💯💯
LV basically synonymous with Voldemort now 😂
😂😂😂😂 right😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂thats awesome!!! So true!!!

@@JamesOswalt yea the Dumont bottles are decent especially for the prices they go for.
Aromatix hyped this one and at this moment FragBuy has it in stock. Two different interpretations. Might still get it.
I'm sure once it matures it will be a lot better

@@frenchmontana5880 I like some clones that are twist , better then ones that try to be 1:1
Thank you for keeping it real!
Mascerate. I haven't actually smelled Pacific Chill, however after a couple of months maceration it has become a richer and stronger scent for sure
Watch with caption turned on
I appreciate the fact you smell the OG before you do compared reviews. Thanks.
@@malikmuhammad3784 thank you, thanks for watching!
Nice revieww! Can you do RIIFFS Celesto torquise next? I heard its a clone of imagination 😄
Thank You! And ill look into it

I really like Alexandria but yes they are kind of expensive. I usually wait for Holiday sales.
I agree, as a EU resident, Alexandria Fragrances are too pricey when you add shipping fees.
Great vid brotha! Please do a video on the best Elysium clones for the different iterations (cologne, intense)
@@william6509 thank you, will look into it
Hi any update video after maturation? 😄
pinneace on both sides of the box ayooooo
🤣🤣
Hello bro I like your review I am really interested can you let me know which one best dupe LV Pacific chill ????
@@hawtasabir Thanks bro, and Alexandria Pacific Coast.
@@jamarr911thanks a lot🙏🌹 bro just can you let me know how longevity alexandria??
Was curious about this one
@@vincefry9225 yea it’s ok, but just not that close imo
I heard Luciano does a great pacific chill
Great review! Please check Liquid Brun.
To me this and alexandria's pacific coast are really good.
Lucianno's smells too sweet and has a super strong apricot scent that I dislike.
@@ilovebrocoli6068 i definitely prefer the Alexandria for sure

This one VS hawas ice
Hawas Ice
@@jamarr911 Thank you 🥰
I’m confused why can’t he say the name. Lol
I know that appearance of the bottle is irrelevant to quality of the juice, but this bottle design is hideous. Looks like an iron to press clothes.
Lol yea some of these bottle designs I just wonder like who is giving the ok on them?
Pinnace is a small boat, therefore the bottle looks like that.
Divin asylum and now this one is lacking from French Avenue…
@@dd032894 first batch of Divin Asylum is great.

@@jamarr911new one as well.. I used two weeks ago and have complements every day.
