History

Fruity accords became prominent in perfumery during the 20th century with the advent of new aroma chemicals that could reliably replicate fruit scents. Before this, fruit notes were difficult to capture due to their volatility and instability in natural extracts. The development of synthetic molecules like aldehydes and lactones enabled perfumers to create stable, long-lasting fruity effects.

In Perfumery

Perfumers use fruity accords to add freshness, sweetness, and a playful or youthful character to fragrances. They are commonly paired with floral, green, or gourmand notes and are frequently found in the top or heart of a fragrance structure. Fruity accords can also soften sharper notes or add complexity to both feminine and unisex compositions.
