About Peach
What it is
An accord, not an extract. The fruit gives almost no usable oil, so a peach in perfume is built in the lab, mainly from lactones such as gamma-undecalactone.
Where it comes from
The fruit was first cultivated in China and now grows in warm climates worldwide. The scent itself comes from a perfumer's formula rather than an orchard.
What it smells like
Ripe flesh and fuzzy skin, juicy with a soft apricot sweetness and a creamy, almost milky edge. It starts bright and wet, then turns rounder and softer, close to coconut and warm skin.
In perfumery
Mostly a top and heart note. Citrus lifts it, florals give it body, and musk, vanilla and woods carry its softness into the drydown.
