About nectarine
Nectarine, as a fragrance note, captures the essence of the succulent fruit from which it takes its name. It belongs to the stone fruit family, closely related to the peach, but is characterized by its smoother, firmer skin and slightly more aromatic, tangy flesh. In perfumery, nectarine adds a juicy, mouth-watering quality that can brighten and add a touch of sweetness to a fragrance composition without overwhelming it with sugary notes. Its olfactory profile is a delightful blend of sweet, fruity, and slightly floral tones, making it a versatile note that can enhance both feminine and unisex fragrances. Nectarine can serve as a top note, introducing fragrances with a burst of freshness, or it can be used as a heart note, lending a sustained, juicy sweetness throughout the wear.

Perfumer's Tips
When using nectarine in fragrance compositions, it is best utilized to introduce a vibrant, fruity freshness to the top or heart notes. Its natural sweetness and slight acidity can balance floral and woody notes, creating a harmonious blend. Perfumers should use it sparingly to avoid overpowering the fragrance's overall bouquet and to maintain the delicate balance between sweetness and tanginess.
