Pinnace EDP 100ml by French Avenue

Really really good! very close to Pacific Swim but with a bit more citrus

Smells like oranges, a really nice summer smell. Although, it does not last a massive amount of time. Amazing for summer, very fresh and fun.

Blind buy and I'm so happy with it. The bottle is odd but it's a really nice scent that smells expensive. Nice for a warm summer's day or evening

Firstly, I can’t speak to its likeness to LV PC as I’ve never tried the original. However, this smells incredible to me, the citrusy, minty opening is so refreshing. As the you go through the dry down the mint fades slightly but the citrus stays, and the blackcurrant and musk emerges. It’s just heavenly, I’m a man and though I’d say it’s a feminine leaning fragrance, it’s definitely unisex. Lasts for a long time on skin too, can still smell it a little on my skin 12 hours later. Will buy again 😊

Not too sure about this one. Maybe letting it macerate will give better projection. Performance is ok, not great but the dry down is beautiful and smells very fresh and zesty on skin..

Bought on recommendation via YouTube fragrances expert. Excellent value for money, longevity very good, beautiful design.

Pinnace (also known as Pinnacle; also known as Penis on YouTube's closed captions) comes with the same solid performance I’ve come to expect from the French Avenue, as usual. If you’re wondering how it stacks up to the original (we’re talking about Pacific Chill by Louis Vuitton here), I’d say it’s about 85-90% similar.While it’s citrus-forward, what really sets this fragrance apart is the "surprise" apricot note. Oddly enough, Fragrantica doesn’t list it, but trust me - it’s there, and it’s the secret ingredient that takes this scent from “another summer citrus bomb” to something much more interesting. That apricot keeps things lively and far less predictable.You could even push this one into early fall with a few extra sprays. It’s still better for daytime, but I can see this working perfectly for a summer evening by the sea - no surprise there!Performance-wise, projection isn’t going to blow anyone away; it's more of an arm’s length type of deal. But longevity is decent, lasting a good 6 hours, possibly longer depending on the weather/temperature.If you’re a fan of Pacific Chill from Louis Vuitton, Pinnace is a worthy (and wallet-friendly) alternative. In fact, it might make the original feel a little redundant.
