Pineapple Vintage King

By the editors · 2 min readPineapple and apple land together in a bright, slightly candied burst that feels more tropical cocktail than orchard. Within minutes blackcurrant adds a tart, almost catty edge that keeps the fruit from turning syrupy, while jasmine and rose give the heart a sheer, clean floral lift rather than heavy perfume. Birch tar cuts in early, layering a dry, leathery smoke that folds the fruit into something darker and more masculine; ambergris contributes a salty, skin-like glow that softens the birch’s roughness. Vanilla and patchouli in the base round the edges with a muted sweetness and earthy depth, yet the smoky birch–fruit accord remains the dominant signature through the dry-down. Projection stays at arm’s length for the first three hours before settling closer to skin, making it office-safe if applied lightly.
