Fruity perfumes: juicy, playful and full of energy
Fruity fragrances bring a bright, mouth-watering quality to a perfume. Notes such as peach, pear, apple, blackcurrant, raspberry, lychee and pineapple add sweetness and sparkle, and they are often combined with florals, musks or vanilla. The result is a cheerful, approachable scent that is easy to love, and fruity notes are now found in everything from fresh daytime perfumes to rich Arabian blends.
Popular fruity notes
- Pear and apple: crisp and fresh.
- Peach and apricot: velvety and soft.
- Berries and blackcurrant: tart, vibrant and slightly tangy.
- Tropical fruits: pineapple, mango and coconut for a holiday feel.
- Plum and fig: darker, richer fruit notes often found in evening scents.
When to wear a fruity fragrance
Light fruity florals are perfect for spring and summer days, brunches and casual weekends. Fruity scents with woody, amber or oud bases have more depth and suit evenings and colder months. Fruity perfumes are also a popular choice for younger wearers and as gifts.
