Pirette Beach Fragrance Collection: The Cult Favorite Summer Skin Scent, Elevated
Some scents try to smell like vacation.
Pirette just smells like you on vacation.
Warm skin. Salt in the air. A hint of coconut. That clean, slightly sun-warmed glow that lingers long after the beach.
At Nanaka, we carry the full collection from Pirette because once you fall for the scent, you want it in every form.
Here’s everything to know before you layer.
What Is Pirette?
Pirette is a beach-inspired fragrance line built around one signature scent.
The profile is warm and skin-like with notes of:
- Coconut
- Surf wax
- Amber
- Sun-warmed skin
- Salted air
It is not tropical in a fruity way.
It is not sunscreen-sweet.
It smells like late afternoon at the beach when everything is golden and slightly addictive.
The difference is subtlety. Pirette is intimate. It melts into your skin instead of projecting across a room.
Why Everyone’s Talking About It
Pirette has become a cult favorite for a reason.
It feels:
- Under-the-radar
- Editor-loved
- Effortlessly sexy
- Clean but nostalgic
You’ll find it in beach bags in Montauk, tucked into Pilates totes in NYC, and sitting on cool hotel vanities in Mexico City.
It is the fragrance equivalent of sun-kissed skin and simple gold jewelry. Elevated but relaxed.
How the Pirette Collection Works
All Pirette products share the same signature scent. The difference is how they wear.
Perfume Oil
The most intimate version.
Highly concentrated and designed to sit close to the skin.
Best for:
- Everyday wear
- Layering
- Subtle scent trails
It warms up slowly and lasts beautifully on pulse points.
Eau de Parfum
The more traditional spray format.
Slightly more projection, same addictive warmth.
Best for:
- Evenings
- Layering over lotion
- When you want the scent to carry just a bit further
Hair & Body Mist
Lighter. Airier. Effortless.
Best for:
- Post-shower refresh
- Beach days
- Throwing in your tote
It gives you that soft halo of scent without feeling heavy.
Body Products
The body formulas bring the scent into your daily routine.
Perfect for:
- Layering to increase longevity
- Creating a full warm-skin effect
- Subtle scent that lingers on clothes and sheets
When layered together, the effect is seamless. Not overpowering. Just cohesive.
How Pirette Actually Develops on Skin
Because the core of the scent is warm and skin-based, it adapts to your chemistry.
On some, the coconut note is softer.
On others, the amber warmth comes forward.
That is part of the appeal. It never smells identical on everyone.
Think of it as enhancing your natural scent, not covering it.
Who It’s For
Pirette is for you if:
- You love warm skin scents over florals
- You gravitate toward coconut but want it elevated
- You prefer intimate fragrance
- You want something beachy but not obvious
It’s very much the “I just got back from somewhere” energy.
Who It’s Not For
If you prefer:
- Sharp citrus
- Heavy oud
- Powdery florals
- Loud, room-filling perfumes
You may want something more declarative.
Pirette is subtle by design.
How to Layer the Full Collection
If you want the full effect, here’s how we style it:
Morning:
Apply body product right after showering while skin is slightly damp.
Midday:
Add perfume oil to wrists and collarbones.
Evening:
Mist the eau de parfum lightly over hair and clothing.
For beach days or travel, the hair and body mist becomes your refresh button.
Layering increases longevity without ever feeling too much.
The Nanaka Edit
We carry the full Pirette collection because once you find your signature, you want options.
The one we keep reaching for personally is the perfume oil for daily wear. It feels effortless and lives in every bag.
If you want slightly more presence, the eau de parfum is the chic option.
For summer or post-workout refreshes, the hair and body mist is a beach bag staple.
It’s functional luxury. Easy. Elevated. Never loud.

The Bottom Line
Some fragrances try to transport you somewhere else.
Pirette just makes you feel like you already live there.
Sun-warmed. Slightly glowing. Effortlessly cool.
And once you have the full collection, it becomes less about perfume and more about atmosphere.
