When perfumery rhymes with magic! At Bon Parfumeur, the fruity family is represented by its "yellow" label and a number within the 200. Each fragrance is assigned a number that corresponds to its order of arrival in the olfactory family. It's a bit like a perfumer annotating tests in his workshop.
These juicy and invigorating scents hold many secrets! It is almost impossible to extract a fruit essence naturally. The perfumer must combine several ingredients to obtain a "fruit accord." It involves pooling different raw materials, creating the perfect proportions of each, to obtain a specific scent that reproduces nature... These scents are a testament to the perfumer's talent!
A green apple. Do you understand?
We find this scent in our 201 ! The perfumers use Verdox, a fruity apple/pear and woody scent, a bit like undergrowth. They play with other ingredients to "break up" this "forest" note and offer us a beautiful scent of tangy and crisp green apple.
A slice of melon in the middle of summer! To devour in our 202 !
In perfumery, this watery, fruity scent is created with Melonal, an extract of ginger, white melon, and petitgrain. Here, the perfumer has worked a juicy melon with a floral touch of lily of the valley to make it softer and less sweet.
Very ripe red fruits, like in our 203 !
Widely used in perfumery for its tangy raspberry scent, Frambinone is a key element in reconstituting red fruit fragrances. It is present in various fruits such as raspberry, blackberry, and kiwi.
One last one for the road?
Perfumers often use benzyl acetate in their "floral accords" for its sunny, fruity, and floral notes. This raw material smells a bit like jasmine or ylang-ylang, and is reminiscent of sunscreen. Some even find it has a banana-like quality. Logically, benzyl acetate is naturally found in large quantities in these flowers. It is used to enhance floral scents—for example, combining it with jasmine absolute produces a fruitier jasmine.
