Quince

6 perfumes

Derived from the Cydonia oblonga fruit, quince offers a sophisticated, multifaceted profile: crisp, tart, and honeyed, with nuances of pear, apple, and subtle floral undertones. Primarily a top or heart note, it provides a luminous, succulent opening that bridges fruity brightness with a refined, jammy depth. In Gulf perfumery, quince is increasingly paired with Taif rose or warm amber, offering a modern, elegant contrast to the region’s traditional, heavy resins, adding a refreshing, golden sweetness to complex oriental compositions.
