Dried Fruits

Dried fruits are intensely sweet and concentrated in flavor, with a chewy, leathery texture. They are typically made by dehydrating fresh fruits, preserving their natural sugars and intensifying their aroma. Common dried fruits include raisins, prunes, apricots, figs, and dates.

Dried fruits evoke a sense of comfort and nostalgia. Their sweetness and chewy texture can be satisfying and indulgent, making them a popular snack or ingredient in baked goods. Fragrances featuring dried fruit notes are often cozy and comforting, suitable for cool weather or relaxing settings.

Dried fruit notes are commonly used as base or heart notes in fragrances, providing a rich, sweet, and sometimes slightly boozy aroma. They are often paired with spices, woods, or vanilla to create warm, comforting scents. Dried fruit notes are found in many gourmand, oriental, and chypre-style perfumes.
