About fruity notes
Fruity notes in perfumery encompass a wide range of scents derived from the essence of sweet, edible fruits, excluding citrus. These notes can range from the light, sugary sweetness of berries to the lush, tropical aroma of mangoes and pineapples. They are celebrated for their versatility and ability to add a burst of freshness and energy to a fragrance, making them popular in both feminine and unisex compositions. Fruity notes are often used to create a playful, youthful vibe, but can also add depth and complexity when blended with florals, woods, or spices. Their natural sweetness and vibrant character make them essential in crafting modern perfumes, offering a bridge between floral and gourmand scents.

Perfumer's Tips
Fruity notes are often used as top or middle notes due to their volatile nature and ability to give an immediate impression of freshness. They work well to balance heavier base notes and add brightness to a composition. Perfumers should consider the seasonality and desired mood of the fragrance, as fruity notes can range from refreshing summer scents to warmer, more comforting autumnal aromas.
