FragDNA score · on paper

The review

Strong contender. That is where Pineapple Frais lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Aventus Cologne.

Montagne Parfums sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Aventus Cologne's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.

Strength: cologne — lighter than most originals.

At $40 it costs 92% less than Aventus Cologne.
