Sweet scents have been having a major moment, and the trend isn’t slowing down. With gourmand fragrances still dominating and warmer weather on the horizon, a new spring scent is set to take over. We’ve already seen a rise in raspberry, cherry, and fig perfumes, and as the season shifts, the trend is about to ripen. Get ready—stone fruit fragrances are making their debut.
What Are Stone Fruits?
Also called drupes, stone fruits are simply fruits that contain a pit. But you might be surprised by what qualifies. You’re probably thinking of classics such as plums, apricots, cherries and peaches, but raspberries, lychees, mulberries and blackberries also make the cut. That’s because each of their tiny, vibrant druplets contains an edible pit (the same seeds that always seem to get stuck in your teeth!).
When it comes to scents, stone fruit fragrances carry sweet, juicy and delicately floral notes. They can be combined with dessert notes like vanilla and caramel for a fruit pie effect, or mingled with green notes like vetiver for an outdoorsy, fresh scent. Check out some of our favorites ahead.
