Green Apple, scientifically known as Malus domestica, is a popular ingredient in fragrances. It is native to Central Asia, where it has been grown for thousands of years. Green Apple has a fresh, crisp, mouthwatering quality, reminiscent of biting into an apple itself. Apples have been a part of fragrance creation right back to the medieval era of Arab perfumery. It isn't just the fruit that's used: apple blossom gives a soft, floral air to fragrances – and lately, there's been a trend to using something called an 'apple tree' note: in fact, a synthetic, 'fantasy' ingredient which delivers a fruity-woodiness. Through the rise in popularity of fruity-floral fragrances, apple's been having a moment in the sun. Green apple is probably the most underrated fragrance note. It's there in shampoos, perfumes, candles, and even agarbattis, but we don't give this fresh, fruity, clean, juicy, and cool scent its due. In truth though, we really should, because it's incredibly uplifting, delicious, and refreshing.
Natural or Synthetic?
The fragrance of Green Apple in perfumes is typically synthesized, as the process of extracting essential oils from apples is not commercially viable. The synthetic fragrance aims to replicate the crisp, fresh, and slightly tart aroma of green apples, often using a blend of esters like hexyl acetate.
