About persimmon
Persimmon as a fragrance note is derived from the fruit of the same name, known for its deliciously sweet and mildly tangy profile. In perfumery, persimmon adds a unique, fresh, and slightly sweet dimension to fragrances, often serving as a top note due to its light and ephemeral nature. Its use is somewhat niche, providing an exotic and refreshing twist that can differentiate a fragrance from more traditional citrus or floral compositions. Originating from Asia, the persimmon has been celebrated in various cultures for its delightful taste and has gradually found its way into the olfactory world, where it contributes to the creation of avant-garde and memorable scents.

Synthetic Alternatives
While natural extracts are used, synthetic analogues may also be crafted to mimic the unique sweet and fresh characteristics of persimmon, especially for cost efficiency or stability in formulations.
Perfumer's Tips
Use sparingly as a top note to introduce freshness and a hint of sweetness without overwhelming. It works well in light, summer fragrances or to add a unique twist to fruity and floral compositions.
