Anyone got experience with Parfums Vintage?

They are known for Aventus clones, but they also clone discontinued fragrances.

Yes. They're another middle eastern clone house. They have a bunch of aventus and creed clones as you know aventus has a bunch of batch variations and depending on when you got your bottle the batch can be balanced, smokey or more fruity pineapple heavy or citrus heavy.

Parfum vintage capitalized off that and you can buy the batch type of aventus DNA you like specifically.

My recommendations

Parfum Vintage X Batch 2.0 - Compliment monster a 50/50 blend of Dior Sauvage and Aventus. The 2.0 has better performance than the first X Batch but the first performs for a solid 5-6 hours. If you're ok with that save and get X Batch but if you want it to last all day get X batch 2.0.



Intense Gold - Pineapple heavy batch of aventus. You get a strong juicy ripe fresh pineapple being cut with a tad bit of smokiness in the background. Performs well. Transitions into a musky powdery vanilla skin scent after 5-6 hours but last all day.

Pineapple Vintage Classic - Parfum Vintage original aventus clone. 4-5 hours of moderate projection about 2 feet or so. Balanced blend of aventus becomes a smokey vanilla skin scent around the 4-5 hour mark.

Pineapple Vintage Intense - Takes the classic and amps up the performance to last a couple hours longer but smells roughly the same to me

Pineapple Vintage Limited Edition - Grape soda mixed with aventus.

Emperor - Their most popular one and a clone of the more recent batches of Aventus. Very smokey and woodys and last all day.

Emperor Beyond Noir - Extremely smokey batch of aventus last all day.

Emperor Cologne Intense - Aventus Cologne clone.

They have a chart on their website breaking down their aventus clones according to their scent DNA. So whatever batch of aventus you like the most you can get a clone. They have sample sets you can buy as well.

Cons. Shipping can take long especially around the holidays. Some people complain about customers service I haven't had any issues personally. Lastly the price. Some people feel Parfum Vintage is too pricey to be a clone house citing other cheaper aventus clones on the market.

If you do try it let us know how you like it. I know they also have some PDM clones, B540 Clones, Killian, and Amouage.

I also want to point out that @BronxBomber offers a Pineapple Vintage clone oil. It actually performs better and smells stronger than the Pineapple Vintage (classic) and the pineapple to me seems to last all day until you wash it off. The major difference is that the Classic the pineapple note you get is more of a fresh pineapple you would find in a produce section of a store while the clone oil is more of a pineapple note you would find in like a piece of candy or syrupy fruit cup. Both are great. His oil is the better bang for your buck. His oil is more linear while the classic transitions to a smokey vanilla skin scent. I had people stop and ask me what I was wearing when i wore his oil.

$12.99 oil vs $114 for the OG clone

Also something I wanted to mention @WIA20XX Parfum Vintage offers different type of bottles but it's cheaper to get the standard glass bottles. But their fancier bottles remind me of another Fragrance house bottle and that's Moresque . ALso looks like they're having a end of year sale like most fragrance companies around this time of year so shipping might be a bit slower due to higher demand.

Moresque bottle compared to Parfum Vintage looks damn near the same beside the cap and ornamentation having a M instead of a Pv.

Their glass bottles remind me of this Fragrance house but replace the metallic cap with wood and embroidery with a strip gold plated strip that says "Parfum vintage" not sure if they use the same manufactory company or if that's just a common bottle shape that lesser known fragrance houses like to use for their products.

If you really want Kush as your cologne, try Oro Verde by House of Bo.

The top note has cannabis. The dry down is great and, it seems, I'm the only one that can really smell the cannabis.

DHP - Iris plus Leather. And the iris comes off as soapy to me. I know Sonic likes soapy joints, but it might be too tame.

So many influencers have this as their #1 men's cologne of ALL TIME. Better than all the usual suspects.

IMO, it's their #1 because it's impossible to find in the US (like Tobacco Oud, Bleu Electrique, Luminous Night)
*spritzes some on*

I saw it at Duty Free last year, and I thought I'd be able to buy it when I came back (no such luck).
Sebastian (Perfume Guy) said it was hard to find in France.

That said,

I really like the bottle. Very elegant, up there with Bleu de Chanel and the MFK bottles imo.

But I like the bottle 10x more than I like the scent.

Don't get me wrong. The scent is nice. Very clean, very elegant. It's not something I will wear more than 100 ml/$200 bucks worth nice. And I will drop 2 bills like nothing, just not for fragrances.

Literally the only time I spritz this joint is when the topic comes up here. It's a good reminder of why I stopped blind buying based off what influencers like.

I appreciate that.
I'm kinda done with the soapy/floral/iris fragrances.

They're fine. But it's not like I need to find anything new in that world.

I have Prada L'Homme and I have a decant of Gentle Fluidity Silver.

Maybe Dior Homme is better or different from those two...but all 3 probably serve the same purpose and I'm good.
