About fruit notes
Fruit notes in perfumery refer to the scent of fresh, ripe fruits. These notes are predominantly sweet and tangy, sometimes with a hint of sourness or bitterness, depending on the fruit. Originating from a variety of natural sources, including citrus fruits, berries, tropical fruits, and orchard fruits, they are used to add a refreshing, juicy, and vibrant quality to fragrances. Fruit notes can be extracted directly from the fruit itself or recreated synthetically to achieve a longer-lasting and more consistent scent. They are a staple in many fragrance compositions, especially in the top notes, to make an inviting first impression.

Perfumer's Tips
Use sparingly at the top of the fragrance composition to introduce the scent with a burst of freshness. Layer with floral or woody notes to add depth and complexity. Adjust the concentration according to the desired intensity and longevity.
