Photo Greengage :: fragrance ingredients

Greengage, a variety of plum known for its sweet and tart flavor, is used in perfumery for its unique fruity aroma. This scent brings a fresh, slightly acidic yet sweet note to fragrances, reminiscent of the ripe fruit. Greengage adds a lively and natural fruitiness to compositions, often enhancing the top notes with its bright and juicy character. The aroma of Greengage in fragrances is generally derived from natural sources, capturing the essence of this distinctive fruit. It is particularly popular in fruity and fresh fragrance families, where it contributes to creating vibrant and appetizing scents.

Natural or Synthetic?
Greengage, a type of plum, does not have a commercially viable natural essential oil for perfumery. Instead, its fragrance is synthetically created to replicate the sweet, tangy, and juicy aroma of the fruit. This is often achieved using a combination of fruity esters and other synthetic compounds that mimic the characteristic scent of Greengage plums.
