ABOUT

Persimmon smells velvety and honeyed—ripe and jammy with apricot-, pear- and fig-like facets softened by a gentle, slightly tannic dryness that prevents it from becoming cloying. It sits between fresh fruit and mellow gourmand, often carrying a faint floral or apple-like lift. In perfumery persimmon is used to impart luminous, autumnal fruitiness and a smooth, gourmand roundness in fruity‑florals, oriental gourmands and woody compositions, where it is commonly blended with rose or peony, vanilla or sandalwood, musk and warm spices to add sweetness, warmth and a subtle astringent edge.

CATEGORY · FRUITY

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.
