Origin

This note is typically recreated through a blend of natural extracts and synthetic aroma compounds, as true nectarine blossom is rarely distilled for perfumery. Perfumers use accords that combine floral materials with fruity aldehydes and lactones to evoke the impression of nectarine blossom. The inspiration is drawn from the springtime flowers of the Prunus persica var. nucipersica tree.

Usage in Perfumery

Nectarine blossom is most often used as a top or heart note to impart freshness and a playful, uplifting character. It blends well with other fruity notes, soft florals like peony or freesia, and light musks. Perfumers employ it to add a youthful, radiant quality to floral, fruity, and green compositions.
