Genipapo is derived from the fruit of the Genipa americana tree, native to tropical regions of South America. The aromatic material is typically obtained through maceration or extraction from the ripe fruit pulp.

Usage in Perfumery

Perfumers use genipapo primarily as a heart note to impart a natural, exotic fruitiness to compositions. It blends well with other tropical fruits, white florals, and green notes, and is often featured in summery or luminous fragrance structures.
