Note Profile
Cosmofruit is an IFF captive. Its maker describes it as a complex fruit rather than a single one: tarte tatin with damascone, nuts, berries, plums, saffron and chilli in it. A note database reads the same material independently as quince and pear, diffusive and sweet.
Cosmofruit smells like a complex mix of fruit rather than one single one, caramelised apple, plum and berry, closer to a tarte tatin than to fresh fruit. A rose-like floral note runs behind it, and a warm saffron-and-chilli spice gives it heat. A plain nutty note sits alongside the fruit, and the whole thing carries a sweet, pastry sweetness that ties it together.
Read off the wheel, not a label applied to the note.

IFF holds it. The fullest description available is IFF's own copy, carried with an (c)IFF credit in a trade-press feature on the house's captive molecules: 'A complex smell reminiscent of tarte tatin, damascone, nuts, summer berries, plums, saffron and chili.' There is no page for Cosmofruit in IFF's public Ingredients Compendium, which was checked directly.
Fragrantica records four placements. Parfumo records none under this spelling. The Scent Base puts it in the gourmand family and says it 'serves as a foundation for floral, musky, soft spicy and sweet accords', so it works as a fruity bed under other material rather than as a top flash.
