Fruity perfumes

A fruity perfume opens with fruit notes, peach, pear, blackcurrant, lychee, mango, raspberry, that give a juicy, luminous impression from the first minute. These notes are volatile: they live in the top and the heart, and it is the base that decides what the perfume becomes an hour later. In Dubai perfumery, that base is most often gourmand or musky, rarely dry.

This page gathers the references whose top or heart is clearly fruity.

The fruits you will find

• Peach and apricot — velvety, slightly milky; Coral Blush makes them the main subject.
• Pear — fresh and crisp, widely used to open a gourmand without weighing it down: Ramz Gold.
• Blackcurrant and red berries — tangy, almost green; Vulcan Baie lines up blackcurrant, strawberry, raspberry and blackberry.
• Lychee and apple — sparkling, on the edge of fresh: Khair Fusion.
• Mango, passion fruit — the tropical reading, as in Yara Tous.
• Date and fig — the fruits of the Gulf, darker and honeyed: Jean Lowe Vibe.

Fresh fruity or gourmand fruity

On a white musk or a cedar, the fruit stays light and clean: a daytime perfume. On a vanilla, a praline or a tonka bean, it becomes a dessert and lasts noticeably longer. If you want fruit without sugar, look for "musk" or "wood" in the base notes on the product page.

How to wear it

Fruity notes are fragile: never rub your wrists after application, or they will disappear before they have played their part. Spring and summer suit them well; gourmand fruity scents can be worn all year round.
