Origin

Cherimoya is the fruit of Annona cherimola, native to South America and now cultivated in subtropical regions worldwide. In perfumery, its scent is typically recreated using natural isolates and synthetic molecules, as direct extraction from the fruit is not practical. These reconstructions capture the fruit's complex, creamy-fruity character.

Usage in Perfumery

Perfumers use cherimoya primarily as a heart note to impart a lush, exotic fruitiness and creamy texture to compositions. It blends well with other tropical fruits, lactonic notes, and soft florals, and can add depth to gourmand or modern fruity-floral fragrances. Its unique profile makes it suitable for both feminine and unisex scents.
