It’s also a sensual treat in vanilla-based gourmand fragrances. Pineapple’s distinctive, round, pear/orange/red apple aroma is ideal for summer season, especially for travel vacations to countries known for their fiery market spices. Its rich, tangy texture in a perfume is a lovely complement to exotic heat.
