The trick is to take that damn plastic reservoir tip off the bottle before you spray it. Man that design for that plastic tip has to be the absolute worst in fragrance. But I think it adds to the charm of that bottle. Bought that thing because I was very genuinely looking for something a dad in a suit would wear in 1957. That's it. Pine, cedar, lemon, and a nice deep tarry smoke to it. Gotta be the cedar. Layering with the body wash I get great performance out of it. Man that bottle of shower gel is hilarious. The cap is huge, the nozzle to let the gel out is as wide as a damn nickel. That dark ass green color. I LOVE how dated this stuff is. It's stuck in the 50's-60's and I hope it never changes. Much love for this one.
It's the smell of the woods here in Sweden, beautifully caught in a bottle. Been wearing this gem for two years now. It's like a more intense Agua Brava, also a gem.
@@janm3531 Yes they do. Pino Silvestre is a gem. You can wear any fragrance you like when you've got charisma and personality to back it up. It doesn't matter if it smells "old" if you can back it up. No one will notice.
Ordered this off Amazon and just received it yesterday. I was surprised to find they've updated it to a regular cap and traditional sprayer, while still keeping the look of the glass bottle. Maybe they saw your video and listened! I like the scent but it is not strong enough for me. I get mostly a dark woods kind of smell and not that much pine. But could also be me. I recently learned that Flonase and Vick's spray can cause loss of smell, so I've stopped using them. Maybe what smells weak to me smells strong to others. Anyhow, I always enjoy your videos! 👃🏻🌲🌲
My cousin introduced this to me as a little kid so when I was old enough to start wearing cologne in high school this was my 1st so I love it great review 👍
Thank you, Scents Of South Jersey. Recently came across this fragrance online and I was considering a blind buy. Definitely getting myself some, especially with the fantastic price.
I had Deep Charisma, enjoyed that and eventually gave it away - but I DO have the shower gel! It truly is SWEET PINE. I only use it on occasion, as obviously... not maybe as natural as I want upon cleaning my body off :). Good stuff!
this review brought me to your channel.. thank you so much!!! so I could pin point this again (I had forgotten the name), I am adding it back into my collection especially right now in the Christmas time of the year. classic smell my grand father wore this in the 80's so it takes me back to fond memories of him. great review I am anxious to get my wear this scent again..
I use the aftershave and it is great for summer. Especially in the office, at work, teaching a university class, etc. Face feel is pretty good. It does have some conditioners and humecants in it that are not present in the EDT. The sprayer design is not perfect and it is something you will have to put up with.
Total Classic. I have to be honest maybe a bad nose I just don't get pine. To me it smells like herbs which isn't a bad thing, it smells like a classic. I loved the part about rubbing the "after spray" since that was exactly what I do after initial sprays.
@@ScentsOfSouthJersey :) Actually upon your review of Acqua Di Selva (Green scent review) I picked up a bottle. love it. Now that I do get more pine, where as with the Pino I think it smells like grandma's kitchen with Italian herbs when she was cooking ..still love it if only for those memories..but prefer the Acqua di Selva.
K, are you familiar with the reformulation? I bought it from Fragrance Net in 2021. It has a normal atomizer (the pine cone lid comes off). The scent has been toned down and smoothed out (less harsh, more palatable to today's noses). I don't mind it but the older version, like what you have here, has more kick.
I just smelled Pasha Cartier at the mall the other day and I was blown away by how beautiful it is! Its unfortunate that I havent smelled too many oldies scents to be able to compare them. Do you know any cheap alternatives to it?
Kellen I see some bottles with Venezia on the bottom and some with Torino, is there any difference? BTW I love this one, I find it works better for me in Summer
I bought this online once, but it came off as a stuffy chemical mess. I probably got a fake or a spoiled bottle. It sounds like something I’d like though so I may try it again. I love acqua de selva which you say is similar, but RIP, it’s discontinued :’(
@@ScentsOfSouthJersey Every time I go into a perfume store hoping to buy a backup bottle they tell me it’s been discontinued and they’re already sold out. I’ve already tried like 3 or 4 different places in the past year. This is in Canada though, there might still be a lot of stock left in America.
LOVE the Pino Sylvestre! Always have. But it of course seems much weaker than it did 30 or so years ago... I suppose everything that we knew as "quality" back then, is much less than it once was. As a side note, and sort of a rant to get the thought off of my chest, I want to say that, in my personal opinion, too many fragrances that modern day reviewers consider "bombs" or "beast mode", are really weak kid stuff to the noses of us older codgers. Back in the Eighties and earlier, even most "drugstore" frags were real ball kickers... And if you bought something like Aramis or Kouros, or anything "expensive", you could rest assured that it'd last AT LEAST twelve hours on the skin... Definitely NOT the case, these days. And it's also funny how do many reviewers claim something to be "a smoke bomb" or a "dead up campfire", or "exactly like a walk in the woods", etc. Years ago, if ya brought say Piver Quir de Russie... It WAS Russian Leather. The original Polo WAS a walk in the woods. Bowling Green WAS a day out on a great lawn. I'm pretty certain that because of reformulation, the fragrances have been weakened... But it's probably not ONLY because the companies are purposely cheapening up... I'm convinced that the younger people who are reformulating those classic fragrances really don't KNOW what those things smell like, because who spends a few days at a time in the woods anymore, right? Remember.... We're talking about a generation or two that was raised to think they were "dirty" if they didn't shower three times a day. If someone has stripped off every last molecule of "Dirt" like that, I'm sure that distilled water would stink to High Heaven to them. Years ago, I used to regularly buy a fragrance that was exactly that of "church incense", more specially BYZANTINE CHURCH incense. Of course, it's nowhere to be found anymore... But I couldn't tell you how many bottles of alleged "incense bombs" I've wasted money on, because it was touted as smelling EXACTLY like "being in church"... Then it dawned on me.... Not many people actually attend church anymore, so how in the hell are they gonna know what it smells like? Another one I used to buy was EXACTLY the scent of a real campfire, with real Birch notes and a slight sweetness... again, EXACTLY like a campfire. To date, I must have been through twenty "exactly like a campfire" frags... None of which smell anything like the real thing. And so it goes. Hey... You have excellent taste. Your reviews are top notch. I really do appreciate ya! Cheers!
Yes, the original is my favorite and the one to get. Of the newest releases, the “Acqua Di Pino” line the one called “cologne” is also good the one called “fougere” I was disappointed with it smells like a Christmas candle. So the OG is the best the other nice one is the ADP cologne
Excellent spring/summer/fall fragrance, I always remove the plastic cap before spraying it so that I don’t spill it and waste it then I put it back just because it looks cool, I’ve wore it a few times to the hospital where I work and they have liked it and even asked me what I’m wearing because it smells clean, those guys who don’t like this one is because they’re pussies who like to wear bubble gum fragrances for kids like Invictus, sorry not sorry🤷🏻♀️
This still has a bit of traction in Australia. It's a cheapie but I've noticed some millennials wearing it in an ironic way. There's also a couple of Australian comics of Italian origin that did a half joking ad which I think was on instagram. I like it although it is a bit too one dimensional for me. I use it as a cheaper thing to splash on when I've shaved but I'm just hanging around the house. It's also a decent air freshener when you just want to freshen up the room :) I know that's probably sacrilege for some.
A true classic never goes out of style, if this was only a bit longer lasting, but it's pure Italian fresh and clean, got the Modern Dandy too.
It really is a classic I never get tired of it!
@@ScentsOfSouthJersey
Absolutely yes!

I guess I could take the cone head off the bottle but that’s part of its cheesy look that I love haha
Love the 90s version of this under the radar hitter. Italian barbershop STAPLE 👏
They have a few formulations I’m sure they all are great
It's the smell of the woods here in Sweden, beautifully caught in a bottle. Been wearing this gem for two years now. It's like a more intense Agua Brava, also a gem.
Great description of the scent and yes agua Brava is a little Lighter
Do people recognize it and give compliments or any other statements on the scent?
@@janm3531 Agua Brava? Oh, yes. Oh yes indeed.
@@harrywaltersson4336 no I meant the pino silvestre
@@janm3531 Yes they do. Pino Silvestre is a gem. You can wear any fragrance you like when you've got charisma and personality to back it up. It doesn't matter if it smells "old" if you can back it up. No one will notice.
Thank you for doing a video on the Holy Trinity of Italian Pine scents. I need to pick at least one of these up!
I love it! Honestly, its the basil that lasts for me all day. I removed the cap to prevent the dripping from the spray.
The cap and it’s half assed ability to distribute is part of the whole cheesy look that makes it great haha

That’s awesome! Must bring back great memories, Acqua Di selva does that for me
Thank you, Scents Of South Jersey. Recently came across this fragrance online and I was considering a blind buy. Definitely getting myself some, especially with the fantastic price.
It’s an amazing pine green scent, Italian classic much like Acqua Di selva
Da cap is askew, doesn't feel like it's sitting at 12 o'clock, sprays all over the bottle too.
What would Blundetto say about it ?
@@ScentsOfSouthJersey
Dat animal I can't even say his name.
I had Deep Charisma, enjoyed that and eventually gave it away - but I DO have the shower gel! It truly is SWEET PINE. I only use it on occasion, as obviously... not maybe as natural as I want upon cleaning my body off :). Good stuff!
I have not tried that one, but the Acqua Di pino cologne is great. Thank you for watching and commenting Gabe
@@ScentsOfSouthJersey Ah yes I have that too. It’s a subtle, more tamed + green version of Issey Miyake Super Majeure. Which is also pretty slick!
this review brought me to your channel.. thank you so much!!! so I could pin point this again (I had forgotten the name), I am adding it back into my collection especially right now in the Christmas time of the year. classic smell my grand father wore this in the 80's so it takes me back to fond memories of him. great review I am anxious to get my wear this scent again..
Out in the Woods in northern Germany on a hot Summerday, after a rainy night :-)
Sounds like Pino !
I use the aftershave and it is great for summer. Especially in the office, at work, teaching a university class, etc.

Great review Kelan 👏👏👏
Thanks as always Daniel
@@ScentsOfSouthJersey Your welcome Kelan
Great review and I enjoyed it and I'm going to try it and have a blessed day
Definitely try it !
I most definitely will
Total Classic. I have to be honest maybe a bad nose I just don't get pine. To me it smells like herbs which isn't a bad thing, it smells like a classic. I loved the part about rubbing the "after spray" since that was exactly what I do after initial sprays.
Maybe try acqua Di selva, I get a lot of pine with that too and prefer it actually. Can’t go wrong either way though
@@ScentsOfSouthJersey :) Actually upon your review of Acqua Di Selva (Green scent review) I picked up a bottle. love it. Now that I do get more pine, where as with the Pino I think it smells like grandma's kitchen with Italian herbs when she was cooking ..still love it if only for those memories..but prefer the Acqua di Selva.
I was hoping you'd have a vintage bottle, maybe that formulation is a little better/different. Good review anyway. :)
Very Nice Kelan!
Thanks Terry!
I get basil, juniper and sage the most.
Basil is very strong in this
Great thumbnail! 😁
Lol I had fun making it
Legit this shower gel is my #1
Really is awesome
Thanks for the vid! I'll have to give this one a whirl
The bottle is fire 🔥😂👍🏼 I love it, but as you mentioned...you have love the smell of pine trees 😏
Yeah some may not like it but I love the bottle and scent

Not so much a pine cone showel gel bottle as a friggin pineapple. 😄🌲🍍 'Ting is HuGE.
It does look like a pineapple lol

Its good but not too much on skin.

It's a lot of bang for the buck but can't imagine wearing it outside of the fall and winter
The shower gel looks like a big, green pineapple 😁
Smells great too
Loll it does yes more so than a pine cone
im thinkin of getting this, then i noticed a bunch of other pinos, one said fougere....you try those yet?
Yes, the original is my favorite and the one to get. Of the newest releases, the “Acqua Di Pino” line the one called “cologne” is also good the one called “fougere” I was disappointed with it smells like a Christmas candle. So the OG is the best the other nice one is the ADP cologne
How would you size it up against Aqua Di Silva ?
Acqua Di selva is the best ! Pino had more pine but ADS is my family’s scent ! 🇮🇹⚔️
Excellent spring/summer/fall fragrance, I always remove the plastic cap before spraying it so that I don’t spill it and waste it then I put it back just because it looks cool, I’ve wore it a few times to the hospital where I work and they have liked it and even asked me what I’m wearing because it smells clean, those guys who don’t like this one is because they’re pussies who like to wear bubble gum fragrances for kids like Invictus, sorry not sorry🤷🏻♀️
