Cherry Girl or Mysterious Plum? Fruity Perfumes Are the Hit of the Summer!

A Portion of Fruit for Everyone

When you hear the words fruity perfume, you might imagine a playful and sweet fragrance. And maybe you’ll immediately say that it’s not for you. But it is! Each fruit brings a different vibe to the composition and, moreover, fruity fragrances get along great with wood and floral, ambergris, vanilla or even musk notes, creating unexpected combinations that suit women’s, men’s and unisex perfumes. And an extra bonus? They will infect you with optimism! What notes will you smell everywhere this summer? 

The Continuation of Cherry Mania

The cherry girl aesthetic is slowly fading away, but cherry perfumes remain a viral phenomenon. And they have the potential to become summer favourites even for those who don’t like sweet notes. They can surprise with a smoky, bitter or spicy touch (thanks to oud or leather, for example). And there’s another reason why this fruit has taken centre stage: in pop culture, cherries are considered a symbol of sensuality and flirtatiousness. Wouldn’t it make a great perfume for a date?

Memories of Strawberries

The clear number one hit? Strawberries! They are intense and authentic in perfumes, but the reason for their popularity lies elsewhere. They evoke pleasant memories of searching for wild strawberries in nature as children, looking forward to strawberry ice cream, or buying our first strawberry lip gloss as teenagers. And this nostalgic and lighthearted mood is simply irresistible (just like the fruit itself). And the top strawberry perfume? Try a combination of red berries with gourmet notes of vanilla, chocolate, and milky accords. Yum!

The Subtlety of a Peach

Fruity accords are usually used in the top notes of a perfume, so you can smell them immediately after applying the fragrance. And often very intensely. But if you want your summer to smell more subtle and unobtrusive (yet still fruity), try peach. It perfectly matches the carefree and casual nature of summer, especially when accompanied by light floral and woody notes. Or do you prefer something unusual? Look for a combination with herbal or spicy accords. Pepper or cinnamon will go great with it!

Plum Evenings

Do plum notes belong more to autumn? Not at all, give them a chance during summer evenings too. Their rich and deep fragrance with a subtle bitterness gives perfumes a slightly dramatic, dark, and sophisticated touch. No excessive sweetness, just pure elegance and sensuality. All the more so if the fruity perfume also has a hint of patchouli, sandalwood or clove.

Not made your choice yet? Feel free to keep searching in the fruit category, because the perfume world (and social media) also loves mango, apricots, apples and figs. Summer fruit perfumes are simply to die for!
