Fruit notes in men’s fragrances range from bright citrus and crisp apple to tart berries, juicy pear, tropical facets and dried fruit. They provide lift and recognizable character, often in the top or heart, while some richer fruit materials sit closer to the base.
Surrounding notes determine their effect. Citrus and green fruit sharpen aromatic, aquatic and woody compositions; apple and pear soften woods with clean, crisp sweetness; berry and plum facets add colour to spicy, leathery or amber accords; dried fruit gives tobacco, liquor, resinous and gourmand styles a darker, rounder tone. Browse these scents if you want fruit used as a fresh opening, a clear accent or a fuller part of the composition.
