Fruity Notes
Banana is a sweet, creamy, and tropical fruity scent with a distinctive ripe, soft character. It has a rich, smooth, and slightly green undertone when unripe, transitioning to a sweet, candy-like aroma when fully ripe. The scent is typically bright and cheerful with medium intensity and moderate longevity, often used as a top or heart note to add playful sweetness and tropical warmth to compositions.
Banana fragrance is primarily created through synthetic reproduction, as natural banana essence is difficult to extract and capture. The scent is typically recreated using synthetic compounds like isoamyl acetate (banana ester) and other fruity esters. Some natural banana extracts can be obtained through solvent extraction or enfleurage from banana peels and fruit, but synthetic versions are more commonly used in perfumery for consistency and intensity.
