Pineapple Creme
Note Profile
About
A dessert reading of pineapple: the fruit rounded out with dairy. Parfumo files the term under Creamy notes as well as Fruity notes and Pineapple. The name is a construction rather than a raw material, so the character is the fruit's tropical, sweet-tart body carried on a lactonic, custard-adjacent base that blunts the sharp edge of the fresh fruit.
Scent Profile
Pineapple Creme smells like a dessert version of pineapple, the fruit rounded out with dairy cream. A lactonic, custard-like base runs under the fruit, blunting its sharp tropical edge. The fruity, tart pineapple body sits just above that base. A sweet vanillic note completes it, close to a creamy, caramelic sweetness.

Origin
Not a natural extract. It is an accord, built the way perfumers build any fruit-and-cream effect: pineapple esters over lactones and vanillin. Delta-dodecalactone is one of the usual materials for the job. Its supplier describes it as 'peachy, milky, coconut-like' and says it 'plays a key bridging role between fruity and creamy facets', and lists it in a named 'Tropical Milkshake' formula built on 15% Pineapple Base and 10% Mango Base. That is how the effect is made in general, not a description of this particular listed note.
Usage in Perfumery
Rare and recent. Parfumo records 3 perfumes, first in 2022 and last in 2023, against 5,061 for plain Pineapple. Parfumo reports that it occurs throughout the entire fragrance, not only in the opening.
