Last year, we promised that Pinappos would be taking things to the next level in 2024 and we did that tenfold. We’re only halfway through the year and once again we’ve made history. With the 4th Annual Golden Pineapple Fragrance Festival, we’ve shaken up the perfume landscape and redefined the publication industry. This is what we set out to do when we launched Pinappos and we’re proud to see what we’ve accomplished in a few short years.
We’re back for our highly anticipated annual 27 favorite things list and this list is fire. Yes, we’re biased on that fire, but we know what’s on the list ahead and the hype is real!
Now let’s get to the main event. Without further ado, this list was selected by everyone at Team Pinappos. They’re some of the coolest things we’ve discovered and think you’ll love them too.
The Beatles
1967-1970
Vinyl
This incredible record released late 2023 not only has some Beetles classics like “All You Need is Love” and “Hey Jude” but it also has the instant classic new Beatles’ song “Now and Then” that is an absolute dream to listen to for fans of this iconic band.
Drunken Vanilla
by
Pink Mahoghany
With a rich vanilla bean layered upon altering versions of vanilla and booze, Drunken Vanilla is an elevated vanilla experience that expertly balances dark moodiness with spirited excitement.
L’Eau de Parfum
by
Cirque Du Soleil
Salted popcorn with sweet caramel apple and cotton candy, this is an absolute dream of a fragrance. Circus vibes abound. For Cirque du Soleil to launch with this fragrance, we can only hope they do more.
Girl of the Year
by
Thin Wild Mercury
Winner of this year’s Fragrance of the Year and for good reason, GotY is the real deal. That is to say, what every new mainstream fragrance claims to be, this actually is. A bold, seductive, confident, statement maker. Waxy, leathery, and furry is the scent blend we didn’t know we needed.
Coconut Apricot
Deodorant
by
Blu Atlas
This is quite possibly the greatest deodorant that we’ve ever smelled! The fragrance, Atlantis, is a stunner in its own right and shares some similarities, but this Coconut Apricot deodorant smells even better. If a fragrance was made that smelled just like this, it would rank as one of the greatest fruity fragrances of all time. It’s that good.
Longue Vie
Soleil
by
Guinot
We love being out during the day and that means sun lotion is a must, but it wasn’t until last year that we learned the importance of after care. Take a shower to wash off the sun lotion when we’re back inside, then get Sun Logic lotion to cover up for post-sun skincare.
Greenlights
by
Matthew McConaughey
A mix of McConaughey’s life story and some inspiration, this bestseller is one of the best books we’ve read in years! Bonus points if you get the Audible version and hear the book read by McConaughey himself. It’s so good, we’ll read this again and again!
Yerba Mate
Resurfacing Energy Facial
by
Youth to the People
This has upped our entire skincare routine. Our skin has never felt better and this natural product is to thank for it.
Beekman Place
by
Bond No. 9
Notes of basil leaves, patchouli, pineapple, oakmoss, and driftwood make for an aromatic style callback. This fresh and spicy scent carries an air of sophistication while still being an easy wear.
Boss Bottled
Triumph Elixir
by
Hugo Boss
A confident scent that would work great in a office setting. Violet leaf, vetiver, and patchouli come together to create a fragrance that gives a new meaning to the Hugo Boss emboldened BOSS on the bottle.
La Tacita de Cafe
by
Day Three
Coffee, amber, and brown sugar blend to perfection with a delicious gourmand that goes beyond a cup of coffee. With a smoky aura in the background, La Tacita de Cafe expertly captures the world traveler’s cafe experience.
Restoring Eye Masks by
Grace & Stella
Working your dream job often means working night and day. You can be excited and energized without feeling tired, but still look tired. That’s where these restoring eye masks come in handy. Now we look as energized for the day as we feel.
Coco Cocktails
by
Scent Journey
This is summer vacation in a bottle. Coconut, pineapple, chocolate dipped banana, and rum blend together to create a cocktail that hits different.
Watermelon
Hand Sanitizer
by
Earth to Skin
Even before the pandemic, we were hand sanitizer people, but finding a sanitizer that keeps our hands clean and smells like watermelon instead of medicine is a game changer.
Zenobia
by
Tomavicci
This is vanilla royalty. There’s some floral notes and oud, but it’s the Madagascar vanilla that really stands out with richness and opulence that vanilla has rarely seen.
HERO in Niani Candle
by
Nomad Noé
The first candle that we’ve ever smelled that does vanilla right. The creamy note alongside toasted tonka beans is a delight for the senses proving once again that few are on the same level as Nomad Noé candles.
EiR NYC
Hydration Hero
If your lotion only works when you have it on then that lotion is not good enough. The Hydration Hero not only immediately makes our dry hands smooth, but our hands stay smooth for days or longer. Our hero indeed.
(Super) Sexy Skunk
by
d.grayi
At the Golden Pineapple Fragrance Awards, this year, d.grayi won Best Avant-Garde Fragrance for Low Carb Cat and for good reason, the house dares to be different while still being wearable. (Super) Sexy Skunk is a perfect example of that. A distinct cannabis combines with chocolate and moss inviting you into its own fragrance realm.
Is This Anything?
by
Jerry Seinfeld
With the end of Curb Your Enthusiasm, Michael Richard’s releasing an autobiography, and Jerry Seinfeld directing his first film, Seinfeld is back in the spotlight. Fans of the comedian will love this book and will laugh from beginning to end. The audible version gets our pick as it’s read by Seinfeld himself.
Whisky, 1969
Ltd. Green Edition
by
Thin Wild Mercury
It’s no secret we’re fans of all things Thin Wild Mercury and the original Whisky, 1969 is popular for a reason, but the limited release of the Green Edition gave us an opportunity to rave over the brighter more powdery sibling of the original. This is a truly limited fragrance so you’ll have to keep an eye out on Thin Wild Mercury’s social media for the chance that this rare fragrance might become available.
Single Shot
by
Nose of Gatsby
This stunning fragrance from Nose of Gatsby is the epitome of summer. Gatsby has once again released a scent with complexity and depth that immediately transports you somewhere. Pineapple, yuzu, and a salty oceanic breeze blend to perfection in this summer masterpiece.
Purchase Single Shot
Vanilla Matrimony
by
Chanceux
From the creamy frosting to the crumbly cake, Chanceux introduced the best smelling vanilla cake fragrance we’ve ever had our noses on. Whether it’s your wedding day scent or
Onsen Minerale
by
Cult of Kaori
A beautiful anomaly, Onsen Minerale is a fresh winter citrus. With notes of yuzu, lychee, and florals, this is inspired by stepping into a hot steam on a snowy winter day and it meets that imagery perfectly.
Funko Pop
From Elvis Pops, to Godzilla, pro-sports stars, and this epic anniversary edition of Michael Keaton’s Batman, these make the perfect gift for someone, because as Funko says, “Everyone is a fan of something.”
Musashi
by
Gentleman’s Nod
Opening with a zesty burst of citrus energy before settling down to calm earthy woods, Musashi is a story in fragrance form and it is an impressive feat that Gentleman’s Nod has accomplished.
Advanced
Genefique
by
Lancome
Our new favorite serum is a game changer for our skin. With a thick consistency and easy application method which makes the whole process simpler, Lancome has become a regular part of our skin care routine.
Signature Bloom
by
Zaharoff
The best jasmine fragrance we’ve ever smelled. Period. Four different types of jasmine blend with creamy sandalwood and a touch of amber to add the lightest essence of texture.
