About

Soursop is the fruit of Annona muricata, native to tropical parts of the Americas. It is not usually extracted because it is unstable, so its scent is recreated from isolates and aroma chemicals. It smells juicy and slightly tangy, like pineapple, strawberry and banana, with green and lactonic tones. It settles to a soft, milky sweetness with gentle tartness.

Origin

Soursop is derived from the fruit of Annona muricata, native to tropical regions of the Americas. In perfumery, its scent is typically recreated using a blend of natural isolates and synthetic aroma chemicals, as direct extraction from the fruit is not commonly practiced due to instability.

Usage in Perfumery

Perfumers use soursop notes primarily in the top and heart of compositions to impart a lush, exotic fruitiness. It pairs well with other tropical fruits, citrus, and creamy floral notes, and is often used to evoke a fresh, modern twist in gourmand or summer fragrances.
