Fruity perfumes

The fruity accord captures the juicy, sweet and bright smell of fruits such as peach, apple, pear, raspberry, blackcurrant and pineapple. It gives a fragrance a cheerful, youthful and mouthwatering feel.

Because most fruits do not yield a usable essential oil, these effects are built largely with esters, lactones such as gamma-undecalactone for peach, and molecules like raspberry ketone; blackcurrant bud is a rare natural exception. Fruity notes usually appear in the top and heart. They pair often with florals, sweet notes, musk and gourmand accords. Light, juicy versions suit spring, summer and daytime, while jammy, dark-fruit interpretations hold up well in cooler weather.

The Fruity accord appears in 42,587 perfumes in the Fisfis catalogue. Below are the most popular scents where it leads.
