About passionfruit
Passionfruit, with its exuberant, tropical aroma, is a beloved top note in many fragrances, known for its refreshing and sweet qualities. Originating from the passionflower vine, native to South America, this fruit's scent profile is as exotic and inviting as its appearance. In perfumery, passionfruit is celebrated for its ability to add a juicy, vibrant lift to compositions, often used to impart a fresh, fruity opening that evolves beautifully on the skin. Its complexity and tangy sweetness make it a favorite for creating lively, summery scents and sophisticated floral-fruity blends.

Perfumer's Tips
Use sparingly as a top note to introduce a vibrant, tropical freshness to your fragrance. It works well to open up and add a juicy sweetness to floral and citrus compositions, setting a lively and inviting tone.
