Quince

Fruity Notes

Quince has a unique, complex fragrance profile that is simultaneously fruity, floral, and slightly green. It offers a delicate, fresh aroma with nuanced notes of apple and pear, but with a more exotic, slightly tart and honeyed undertone. The scent is soft yet distinctive, with a crisp and slightly powdery quality that makes it intriguing in perfumery.

Quince is a fruit native to the Caucasus region, particularly countries like Azerbaijan, Armenia, and parts of Iran. In perfumery, quince is typically extracted through steam distillation of the fruit or created as a synthetic aroma compound to capture its delicate essence. The natural extraction process is challenging due to the fruit's delicate nature, so many perfumers rely on high-quality synthetic recreations.
