Greengage

About

Greengage, the green-skinned plum, smells crisp and dewy at first, then silky and honeyed, marrying tart sap-green facets with juicy stone-fruit flesh nuanced by apricot, white blossom, and a faint almondy pit—evoking sunlit orchards and cool green shade. Perfumers use this note to impart luminous, mouthwatering fruitiness without the winey heft of dark plum, bridging green top notes and lactonic hearts in fruity-florals, green chypres, and delicate gourmands, where it pairs beautifully with muguet, violet, rose, osmanthus, soft woods, and musks.
