Mile High 38 is a bold, gourmand pineapple fragrance with a rich, complex profile that evolves from a bright, juicy opening to a deeper, earthy drydown. The initial burst is immediately recognizable—ripe, sweet pineapple that feels photorealistic and slightly tangy, like fresh fruit cut open. This sweetness is gently anchored by tonka bean and a touch of maple syruplike warmth, which prevents it from becoming cloying. Immortelle adds a vegetal, slightly medicinal depth, while patchouli contributes a dirty, earthy backbone that gives the scent its mature, grounding character. Over time, the fragrance settles into a smooth, wearable profile with a creamy, skin-close quality that enhances its appeal. It feels unapologetically fruity and sweet, yet avoids the synthetic or overly sugary trap—execution lands somewhere between a tropical cocktail and a quietly sophisticated skin scent. The journey is linear, with pineapple dominating throughout, though the longer drydown reveals depth and complexity through the fusion of patchouli and immortelle. It performs moderately to strongly, projecting moderately and lasting well into the day, even in warm weather.
