About tropical fruits
Tropical fruits as a top note in perfumery refer to the exotic, sweet, and refreshing scents derived from fruits grown in tropical climates. This note captures the essence of warmth and sunshine, often evoking images of paradisiacal landscapes. Tropical fruits can range from the succulence of mango and papaya to the tangy sweetness of pineapple and passion fruit. They are celebrated for their ability to add a vibrant, energetic opening to fragrances, often lending a sense of escapism and adventure. Their use is prevalent in summer and spring releases, where the demand for light, uplifting scents peaks.
