About pineapple

Pineapple is a distinctive fragrance note that captures the essence of the tropical fruit's juicy, sweet, and somewhat tart profile. In perfumery, it is celebrated for its ability to inject a burst of freshness and exoticism into a composition, often serving as a top note that welcomes the wearer with its lively and uplifting presence. The note is versatile, capable of adding depth and complexity to both masculine and feminine fragrances. It pairs exceptionally well with other fruity notes for a succulent blend, but can also complement woody or musky bases for a more rounded, sophisticated olfactory experience. Pineapple's unique combination of sweetness and acidity makes it a favorite among perfumers looking to create fragrances with a memorable and engaging opening.

Perfumer's Tips

Pineapple note is typically used as a top note due to its volatile nature and ability to make an immediate impact. It works best in moderate concentrations to avoid overpowering the blend. Perfumers should consider pairing it with notes that can anchor its lightness, such as sandalwood or amber, to prolong its presence on the skin.
