What it smells like
Apple offers a crisp, juicy scent that brings freshly picked fruit. This note captures the essence of both green and red apples, with hints of sweetness and tartness. In perfumery, apple is typically recreated synthetically through esters like methyl cinnamate and ethyl butyrate to achieve the characteristic fruity aroma without the natural material's instability.
How it's used in perfumery
Apple serves as a versatile top note in fruity and floral compositions, adding brightness and freshness. It pairs well with citrus notes like bergamot and other fruits such as pear and peach. The synthetic version is potent and requires careful dosing to avoid an artificial candy-like effect.
Fun fact
The distinctive green apple scent is largely due to the ester compound hexyl acetate.
