French Avenue Pinnace is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2024. Pinnace opens with Orange and Grapefruit, settles into a heart of Blackcurrant and Mint, and dries down to a base of Musk and Ambroxan. French Avenue's Pinnace carries a Favourite verdict, a green-led wear.

This one's a proper mixed bag. While some reckon it's a solid, budget-friendly take on Pacific Chill with decent wear, others find it too synthetic, short-lived, or just a bit of a scrubber. Definitely try before you buy, as 'maceration' (or whatever they're calling it these days) doesn't fix everything.

Given its fresh, citrus-heavy profile and varying reports on longevity and sillage, it’s best suited for casual wear or sports where a light, refreshing scent is appreciated. It might be too subtle for formal events, and while pleasant, its performance makes it less ideal for a long date night.

About

Pinnace opens with a lively, zesty burst of grapefruit and orange, sharpened by a fresh, green mint. The heart introduces a fruity sweetness from blackcurrant, maintaining a crisp, aromatic profile. As it settles, a clean musk and ambroxan provide a subtle, airy base, rounding out the initial citrus-mint intensity with a modern, fresh finish.
