Fruits provide a nuanced texture and a refreshing feel in fragrances. Floral fruity perfumes have flooded the market since mid 2000s, on the base of significant rejuvenation of perfume user audience, as a result of democratization of the industry. Compositions of this group are refreshing, light, and airy, with a sweet, fruity nuance. The range of floral fruity fragrance is constantly being expanded.
Fruity notes beyond citrus (which form a class of its own) have become so popular in recent years that they deserve a category of their own. As a rule fruits are resistant to distillation and extraction processes due to the very high percentage of water in their natural make-up, and they remain a reconstructed note in fragrances. Their effect ranges from the refreshing to the succulent, all the way to the musty and mysterious.
Fruity perfumes are ideal for summer, for a variety of reasons. They tend to be a bit lighter than floral fragrances, so you won’t feel all hot and sticky, nor will they be overpowering on those hot, humid nights. There are a variety of fruity fragrances to choose from in the coming season, it all depends on what kind of scent notes you like best. So, take a look at these delectably fruity summer scents and see if any of them strike your fancy!
- Britney Spears Radiance
This one to me reminds me of the Juicy Couture Viva La Juicy- fruity yet sweet.  With a mixture of berries, orange blossom, and jasmine, it has a great mixture of fruity and floral.  It also has a touch of musk which balances out the sweet.  This one isn’t my favorite perfume, but definitely worth keeping as I still love the berry and orange scent.  I would wear this one on weekends or at night as it’s not as fresh as some of the others…
- Light Blue by Dolce & Gabbana
This is one of my favorite fruity fragrances, just because of the fruit scents it incorporates. It begins with citrus for a wonderfully sharp, astringent bite, making sure everything stays cool. However, you’ll also catch the crisp, clean scent of Granny Smith apples, which is one of my favorite aromas in all the world. You’ll be absolutely untouchable in this perfume.
- Eternity Summer by Calvin Klein
Calvin Klein definitely knows summer – and perfume. I love this one because, although the scent notes are pretty basic, the top note is one of my favorites – pear. Specifically, Japanese pear, so you’ll get a bite along with the sweetness, making this a lightweight fragrance that’s perfume for summer, no matter what the weather or the temperatures throw at you.
When you wear fruity perfumes, you feel both feminine and bold, like your skin will just taste scrumptious. Keep in mind that berries tend to be heavier and more mysterious, citrus fruits provide sharp, tangy androgynous scents, and apples are crisp, inviting, and very high. What’s your favorite fruity scent?
