The Story
Why it exists.
The beginning
The tropical sweetness of pineapple and the green, slightly metallic edge of cannabis coexist in #336 PLVN. Released in 2019 by Le Re Noir, this fragrance doesn't force its notes into a single direction. The pineapple brings a ripe, sun-drenched quality while the cannabis adds an unexpected counterpoint that grounds the composition. Rather than blending into something predictable, the two notes maintain their distinct character throughout the wear, creating a scent that asks questions rather than answering them. The result feels like an ongoing conversation between contrasting elements, each one pulling the other into new territory.
The pineapple-cannabis pairing in #336 PLVN achieves a balance that keeps it from becoming a simple novelty. Green notes provide a stabilizing presence that lets the sweeter elements breathe without overwhelming the composition. As the heart develops, the herbal quality deepens, adding dimension without introducing harshness. A clean musk base anchors the drydown, ensuring the final stages remain present rather than disappearing. Each layer contributes to a fragrance that reads as playful on first spray while revealing more with sustained attention.
The evolution
The opening announces itself with bright citrus and the pineapple upfront. Within minutes, the green notes pull focus. The cannabis doesn't hit you over the head, but it's there, giving the sweetness a counterweight. The pineapple retreats as the heart settles, yet it doesn't vanish entirely. A trace of its sweetness remains, woven into the herbal character that dominates the mid-wear. The drydown belongs to the musk, wrapping everything in a clean, warm embrace that stays close to the skin. The composition maintains interest long after the initial spray, with the tropical sweetness and green undertones continuing to interplay throughout the wear. On fabric, the fragrance softens into something more intimate by the next morning.
Cultural impact
#336 PLVN launched in 2019 with a cannabis-pineapple pairing that isn't common in mainstream or niche fragrance. The combination draws attention from those who appreciate unconventional note arrangements. While not every wearer connects with this particular blend, the fragrance appeals to those seeking something genuinely different in their scent choices.
The House
Le Ré NoirLe Ré Noir is a Russian niche perfume house that emerged in the mid‑2010s under the direction of perfumer Valery Sokolov. The brand curates a catalogue of more than 60 scents, each presented as a stand‑alone olfactory story rather than a seasonal collection. Its releases, such as the 2018 Sourire De Cassis and the 2022 Fleur de la paix, have attracted attention from independent fragrance communities for their willingness to blend familiar notes with unexpected accents. Le Ré Noir positions itself as a laboratory for curious noses, offering bottles that feel like miniature experiments waiting to be explored.
The Creator
Valery SokolovValery favors a linear construction that reveals a single note before it unfolds into a richer accord. He works primarily with vetiver, cedar, and ambergris, pairing them with unexpected accents such as dried fruit or spice.
