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.

Fruity notes in perfumery evoke the vibrant and juicy essence of various fruits, imparting a fresh and uplifting quality to fragrances. These scents can range from sweet and succulent, such as peach and raspberry, to tart and zesty, like citrus fruits including lemon and grapefruit. Typically used in both women's and unisex fragrances, fruity notes add a playful and youthful character, often enhancing the overall brightness of a composition. Common examples include apple, pear, and tropical fruits like mango and pineapple, which contribute to a sense of warmth and vitality.
