About

Cherimoya is the fruit of Annona cherimola, native to South America. Its scent is recreated with isolates and synthetic molecules, because the fruit cannot be extracted in practice. It smells creamy and tropical, like banana, pineapple and pear, with green and milky touches. It dries to a custard-like richness. It is used as a heart note for lush fruitiness.

Scent Profile

Cherimoya has a creamy, tropical fruit aroma reminiscent of banana, pineapple, and pear, with subtle green and milky undertones. Its scent is soft, sweet, and slightly floral, evolving to reveal a custard-like richness as it dries down. The note is nuanced, balancing freshness with a gentle, gourmand warmth.

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.
