Pineapples give off a pleasant fragrance even when refrigerated.
Once again the French "n'est pas très clair"

Although a little more difficult to detect after refrigeration

or le verb: the sweet smell of a ripe pineapples endures.
Actually, I am finding this French marketing text on pineapples tout à fait dans le génie de la langue and devoid of the usual bad writing. It actually is very well styled.
Rose, I happen to like marketing but my colleagues are right. Please refrain from posting entire sentences.
Thanx

qui est toutefois a percevoir means you can still smell it after it has been refrigerated.
Any contradiction in the text, is in the text...but that is their marketing point
and pineapples don\'t GIVE OFF fragrances, William. You have to stick your nose up close to smell it. Obviously, you don\'t know much about them.
I really think you should tone down your language. It\'s really getting too personal.

: :sweet smell remains" sucks and you have a dangling participle: They way you wrote it, it is the smell that is refrigerated. No wonder you think the text is so great, you probably wrote it yourself!

The sweet smell remainsafter IT the pineapple. qui est toutefois a percevoir means which can still be smelled but you didn't understand that, correct? it means you can still smell it after it is in the fridge.

A ripe pineapple gives off a sweet smell which is best appreciated when kept at cold temperature...

i'm only translating the facts from the French, which says "froid"... anywayay, there is a great range of temperatures that fall under the concept "froid" (selon mon humble avis)...
