Fruity perfumes go hand in hand with the gourmand ones – they both had their boom in the 1990s perfume industry with the advances of synthetic chemistry, and both, when worn, can entice your senses and open your appetite. They are, like the gourmand notes, mostly synthetic with the exception of a few notes – Osmanthus and Blackcurrant Bud Absolute. The synthetic notes have increased the longevity of perfumes, with the natural notes lasting for about 1-2 years, and the synthetic ones last at least double the time of natural scents. Fruity perfumes are popular with the younger generation because they are breezy and playful, and are, as well as citrus notes, best worn in the summer or springtime. Some common fruity notes include apple, orange, apricot, peach, raspberry, and pear, and they make great top notes. All fruity notes have been sorted in the Fruity section for easier navigation to your favorite perfume.
