Greengage plum gives a fragrance a distinctive stone-fruit character: juicy and softly sweet, with a crisp green tartness that keeps it from smelling heavy or syrupy. It sits between fresh fruit and a smoother, jammy effect, depending on the surrounding notes. It can appear near the opening or in the heart, where its fruit character gains depth.
In women's fragrances, greengage plum brightens floral, fruity and woody compositions. Paired with citrus or green notes, it reads fresh and lively; with rose, jasmine or other florals, it adds succulent fruitiness; alongside woods, amber or musk, it becomes rounder and mellow. Explore these scents if you enjoy fruit notes with a sharper, greener edge than peach or ripe plum.
