Candied Fruit

1 perfumes

Candied Fruit offers a decadent, syrupy sweetness that evokes the nostalgic aroma of crystallized peels, glazed cherries, and dried apricots soaked in sugar syrup. Belonging to the gourmand family, this note provides a dense, chewy texture that softens sharper top notes. It pairs naturally with warm spices like cardamom or saffron in oriental compositions, bridging the gap between bright fruitiness and deep, resinous bases. In the Gulf, this note is a staple for evening wear during cooler months, as its rich, lingering profile cuts through the dry air of desert nights. Arab perfumers often utilize candied fruit to add a modern, playful contrast to traditional mukhallats, lending a sophisticated sweetness that balances the intensity of heavy woods and animalic musks without overwhelming the wearer’s senses.
