Mile High 38

A pineapple lovers wet dream Opens with bright, juicy, realistic, sticky, and sweet pineapple. It quite literally smells like you cut open a super ripe pineapple open and took a big whiff, it's that realistic. As it dries, herbal and dry immortelle, thick and woody patchouli, and a slight twinge of tonka come in to provide some much welcomed depth and accentuate some of the best parts of the fragrance. From this point on it remains fairly linear, especially while in the air. My hat is off to Parle Moi de Parfum, making a pineapple accord this realistic yet still wearable and delicious is a hard task to do but Michel Almairac nailed it. Easily one of, if not the best from the house. While this isn't a fresh pineapple like its other contemporaries (namely Aventus), this never ventures too far into the sickly sweet or gourmand enough to not be able to be used in a professional setting. A pineapple bomb at its core, but a very solid and satisfying one regardless. VERY good longevity with even better projection under some heat, but can still cut through the cold if sprayed accordingly. Song vibe - Escape (The Pina Colada Song) by Rupert Holmes 9/10. Signature Scent Worthy. TLDR - A blast of juicy, realistic, and sweet pineapple that is bolstered and supported by immortelle, patchouli, and a slight twinge of tonka. A must smell fragrance for any pineapple or tropical fragrance fan. Super versatile, and a great going out scent during a hot summers night, or heading to the office on a brisk fall morning. A very cheeky and fun fragrance. Side Note - This scent, and the whole line from PMdP for the most part is FANTASTIC for layering. If you ever want to add a splash of sweet pineapple to the top of any heavier fragrance, this really does the job well. HIGHLY recommend spraying this over something super leathery :)

Mile High is a tropical fragrance. It is all about the sweet pineapple combined with a wonderful tonka bean. It doesn't smell like Aventus at all, it heads more the tropical route. The pineapple is not fresh, but more sweetened, similar to a pina colada. At times it gives off an almost coconutty vibe while remaining masculine. It is extremely wearable and pleasing. Also personally this is one of the more unique fragrances i have smelled in a long time. I cannot compare it to any other fragrance. It isn't your typical tonka fragrance, this one is pineapple done in a personalized way. You can get away with wearing this fragrance anywhere. It works in the summer and it will work in the winter. The performance is strong but not in your face. The pineapple is silky and airy while the tonka and patchouli bring in a sturdy backbone. It easily lasts me a whole day. After 8 hours I can still sense it on my neck. The sillage is smooth and airy, and definitely noticable for hours after applying. The scent is fairly linear in the sense that the pineapple stays for almost the entire cycle, and I glad it does. Id rather have a stellar linear fragrance than a dynamic fragrance that only had a good opening. Do yourself a favor and try this masterpiece, I cant really see anyone disliking it. For me, Mile High does something unique and new. It isn't challenging in the sense of an Interlude Man but it is practical. The later is more important to me as i can easily wear this to a full-day of work. This is niche done right, from a caring and personalized house that delivers unique yet wearable fragrances.

I apologize, but this fragrance is like catnip to me. I'm completely captivated. This fragrance, in my opinion, is a standout and truly unique. Despite having just 4 notes, this fragrance is incredibly engaging and complex, offering a sensory journey. If I compare this fragrance to Lamar Kajal, I would say that I prefer to wear Lamar in happier, airier circumstances, while Mile High feels like a deeper conversation with my inner self. The fragrance bursts forth with a vibrant, fruity-sweet accord, tempered by subtle undertones of bitter zest and a whisper of spice. A juicy pineapple note dominates the initial impression, a tantalizingly natural and authentic opening. The heart of the fragrance is a complex blend of rich, deep notes. It's a challenging composition, inviting the wearer to embark on a sensory exploration. With a subtle masculine edge and a hint of leathery intrigue, the fragrance possesses an undeniable allure. Its fruity-gourmand character is both playful and sophisticated, making it a versatile choice for any occasion, from sultry summer nights to crisp autumn days. [IG- Discover Special Scents]

This is my second purchase from Parle Moi de Parfum, the first being Chypre Mojo, and I must say that both are very enjoyable. Winter wearing, dry air, cold skin. Despite the dirty reference, Mile High is an incredible, photorealistic and very cheerfull mango! I know it says ananas in the notes, but my brain interprets this lovely juice as all the stages of ripeness of mango, mixed together. This is what I wanted from Angel eau de Croisiere, head turning (my head first and foremost) tropical essence. Compared to Mile High, Angel is a synthetic mess. The pain of saying so is easily compensated by the admirable qualities of Mile High. On the days when I am mostly home, I reapply every few hours, just to amp up the volume. At the office the initial application is enough to last the day, though it gets quieter at the end. I can not wait to try it in summer, will it get even sweeter? Will it last longer? In any way, I adore it now and wear or smell it every day.

Edit: I don’t get the nay sayers... I just bought a full bottle after trying a sample in my original review. It’s a sweet pineapple made complicated by the immortelle and slightly darkened by the patch. It’s not an Aventus clone but an untrained nose that remembers Aventus would be forgiven for thinking that at first. It’s fresh, summery and beachy. The dry down is interesting and I swear the immortelle makes it turn into a sandalwood woody base thanks to the tonka. Not super strong but it does power away more than you think. It’s the only ‘pineapple’ perfume that works and feels natural yet complicated... Original: Gorgeous pineapple in a nutshell... Glad that I only ordered a sample though for once. It’s true that it has in essesence a presentation similar to Aventus minus the dark woody drydown. If you want an unadulterated pineapple in a proper perfume then this is for you... male or female

I love this fragrance and am so happy to own a full bottle of it. I got a free sample of this and loved it after 5 minutes, not knowing the notes. It was something new, woody, milky and uniquely sweet. I have to say that I am generally not fond of tropical scents and didn't actually smell a lot of them, so maybe for a tropical lover, this would be nothing special. First I thought there's melon, but when I checked the notes, pineapple seemed reasonable enough. On my skin, this scent feels complex, woodiness is dominant (well, probably patchouli), but there is some milky sweetness, that is beautifully rounded and here and there, transparent pineapple kicks in, I agree it has Pina Colada vibe. I am not sure if there's actually a coconut note in it, or we just associate pineapple/tonka mix with it. Feels really good.

Goddamn! Starts out as the girliest of all the unisex perfumes I've had the pleasure to discover but quickly settles down to something decidedly unisexier. Funny to me reading these occasional reviews where it's said to be on the masculine side. There's an earthy bitterness carrying the pineapple after a while, perhaps that's why? The pineapple is the sort you want to bite down on despite knowing the stringy pulp will get stuck between you teeth. The tonka bean and the tobaccy immortelle works in tandem to create a warm, skin-close salted caramel tone and the patchouli is pleasantly earthy and dirty. What a combo! Very early spring to late summer. Five out of five frenulums.

Congratulations to Parle Moi de Parfum and to Michel Almairac!! My favourite. The most photorealistic pinneapple fragrance. Incredible, incredible performance, projection, incredible quality!! It lasts and it lasts and it lasts! I already have 2 bottles and ordered more. I think I will get 10 bottles! The words are useless. I just admire your masterpiece. True work of art. Perfection!! Don't change anything! Merci beaucoup pour perfection! Edit: i'm a man and i find this completely a men's fragrance.

What a fantastic fragrance! This smells like delicious sweet caramelized pineapple on a warm sunny day, though the sweetness isn't overpowering and is quite welcoming. The immortelle blends extremely well and adds some depth while the tonka adds a slightly creamy and smokey/tobacco-y accord. This was an *instant* full bottle purchase after sampling for me. Projection and longevity are both great on my skin and this is easily my favorite pineapple fragrance on the market.

This is stunning. I didn't read the notes before trying it and thought, based on the name, it might be a cannabis scent. So with that expectation, a blast of pineapple put me in the mind of some very high quality cannabis indeed! But even without that association, it is very appealing. I never tried a pineapple-heavy scent before, concern about smelling like a pina-colada stopped me. I was wrong, this fragrance is lovely and unusual. I've been enjoying this all day long.

Straight forward. Sweet fleshy pineapple. Almost cologne like in its bubble. Not a huge bubble, but it’s there, lasts all day. Nose to skin it’s photorealistic sweet fleshy bright pineapple - not too dark a base - with a touch vanilla/tonka woodiness. Pretty phenomenal if you like gourmand that isn’t cheap in its presentation. Forget the negative reviews - it’s yummy on a girl or a guy...

I think this was what I expected Aventus Creed to smell like before I actually tried it and hated with all my soul. Mile High is sweet, very pineapple forward but at the same time a little bit dusty and dry. Like dried pineapples (duh). There's a bit of that cold masculine kick in it but it doesn't quite reach the level of generic men's cologne. A very pleasant wear, fruity and soft.

This is the BEST, most realistic, perfectly ripe, juicy, tangy pineapple I’ve ever experienced in perfume. It reminds me of my favorite novel - Hawaii by James Michener. There was a part where he describes the process of growing pineapples on a plantation from seed to fruit, with all the trials and tribulations. A sniff of this fragrance, and it's as if I'm reading it again.

I have both Mile High 38 and Pavlova, both are pineapple forward scents. I prefer the former. When I first sniffed MH38, I thought I hate it but now it's one of my summer favorites. It brings a festive/celebration vibe. Pineapple, smoke, sweet, but not boring. It lasts a whole day too.

Gorgeous pineapple in a nutshell... Glad that I only ordered a sample though for once. It’s true that it has in essesence a presentation similar to Aventus minus the dark woody drydown. If you want an unadulterated pineapple in a proper perfume then this is for you... male or female

This is not like aventus at all.. the pineapple is so ripe, dry and yummy... the sillage ia very good! People in the room will notice so be easy on the trigger..

When I first purchased Mile High 38 by Parle Moi de Parfum, I was genuinely excited about it. My initial impression was that it smelled milky, fruity, and creamy in a very smooth and easy-to-wear way. Over time, however, my perception of the fragrance changed. The sweet pineapple note that initially seemed pleasant began to take on a strange quality on my skin that I can only describe as slightly body-odor-like. It’s difficult to explain exactly why, but the scent started to feel off-putting the longer I owned it. Looking back, I suspect part of my early enthusiasm may have come from the fact that I blind bought it at full retail price. Sometimes when we make a purchase like that, we convince ourselves we like something more than we actually do. I still love the house of Parle Moi de Parfum and many of their fragrances, but this one simply missed the mark for me, and I ended up selling my bottle. As always, this is a reminder that even when a fragrance sounds perfect on paper, it’s still best to sample before committing to a full bottle. Scent: 6/10 | Longevity: 7/10 | Projection: 6.5/10 | Overall: 5.5/10

Sometimes I struggle with pineapple prominent scents like I struggle with pineapple on my pizza. On pizza, it overwhelms everything else, and I mostly taste the sweet fruit over the savory ingredients. With Mile High, it hangs around for a long time but never completely dominates it beyond the opening. It's a good rendering too, it smells exactly like fresh pineapple. Immortelle is one of my favorite notes and it's great here. It gives a staw like smell in this, and also the smell of beach sand. The immortelle also dries out the juicy fresh pineapple, giving it nice balance, and not letting it become like wearing Dole pineapple juice. Summary: Finally a pineapple scent that is not compared to Aventus which a nice change for me. I've tried 5 or 6 from Parle Moi and own 2 bottles, and they're all pretty well made.This one grows on me the more I wear it. Michel Almairac once again puts out a competent and well constructed composition. Although Mile High 38 supposedly contains 38 notes or ingredients, it doesn't feel terribly complex - but it's still pretty good. Scent 7.6/10 Performance 8/10

I received this in a sample pack I ordered from Lucky Scent where they pick out samples for you based on whatever you decide to tell them you're looking for. This was a pleasant surprise, but I also am not sure it suits me. I think it is named very appropriately, as to me this is a very patchouli forward scent with some tropical fruitiness which makes me think of a couple flying home from their Hawaiian honeymoon or something. It's a little skanky, but in the good way if that makes sense. Like a bad skanky patchouli to me is Scherzo by Miller Harris-- that one is cheap and not cute, this one is classy. It's flirty and fun and I definitely get the Tonka in the dry down. It has nice longevity and sillage and my fiancé said he liked it. Just not sure if it felt like me. It's a cool girl scent for sure. Maybe I'll try this again in the summer and see how it wears on me then!

What an interesting scent, in good and bad. In the beginning, there I had an association to that funky smell of fake tan, or maybe a sunscreen you've had on for a full day at the beach and it gets slightly musty, know that scent? Needless to say, I wasn't loving this at first spray, However, it evolves into a really nice, spicy and sophisticated pineapple on my skin after a while of sitting. It is truly lovely at that point. Very interesting, niche at its finest. But being someone who wants their fragrance hitting all the right notes from the first second, this probably isn't gonna be a full bottle purchase for me. It could also be a skin chemistry thing, as so many seem to love this creation from the house.
