Recently, the fragrance note to watch was undoubtedly vanilla. We saw vanilla perfumes emerge as we’d never seen it before—think smoky and sultry (à la Byredo’s Vanille Antique) or reminiscent of freshly blended frosting (à la Ellis Brooklyn’s Vanilla Milk). This year, however, a new fragrance trend is finding its footing, and just like the trend before, it’s still good enough to eat.
The fragrance trend du jour is juicy fruit. From cherries to grapes (and even more unexpected fruits like tangerines), this year’s best fragrances are freshly squeezed. Not only that, but they’re reimagined takes on already-familiar fruits. "Fruity fragrances are often defined by their playful, juicy, and inviting top notes—think ripe berries, orchard fruits like apple or pear, or tropical touches such as mango or passionfruit," says Alex Shalbaf, co-founder of luxury fragrance brand Mind Games. "However, what truly characterizes a refined fruity fragrance is its balance." This means subtle layering of fruit to be elevated with florals, spices, or woods.
This is interesting because, for a long time, fruity fragrances had a bad rap. They were considered to be almost childish. As such, they were mostly reserved for teenagers who spritzed on gobs of body spray—not adults wanting to smell sophisticated. These days, however, that couldn’t be further from the truth. Fruity notes are mixed in alluring floral notes and grounding musk, amber, and earthy accords. The result? Perfumes that are both playful and polished. Ahead, see the hottest, juiciest perfumes to spritz right now.

Best Fig: Phlur Father Figure

Customer review: "The entire line of Hermes unisex colognes is excellent but Pamplemousse Rose is really a standout. Just exquisite. It doesn't last that long, as other say, but it's still well worth it."
Best Yuzu: Versace Bright Crystal
Yuzu isn't often used in perfumes, but one whiff of this will convince you it's high time the fizzy citrus fruit was added to more scents.
Pros: Long-lasting

How to find a long-lasting fruity perfume
It goes without saying that you’ll want a fragrance that can last. However, fruit-based fragrances work a bit differently. “Fruits, by their nature, are going to flash off quickly so either be prepared to reapply, or look for more complex fragrances that are anchored with base notes and flowers to make them last longer,” says Mark Crames, chief perfumer and CEO at DemeterFragrance. When creating fragrances, Shalbaf opts to pair fleeting top notes with base notes that anchor the fragrance.”This way the fruit makes an impact, but the scent endures,” he says. “If you're looking for staying power, seek out extraits or fragrances with a strong foundation beyond just the fruit.”
Can you layer fruity perfume?
According to Crames, it’s definitely possible to layer and blend fruity perfumes. His rule of thumb is to start with a smell you love, noting that most fruits should be able to combine well with others. Meanwhile, Shalbaf isn’t the biggest advocate for layering random fruity perfumes. “If you do choose to layer, I suggest approaching it like a perfumer would: with intention and restraint,” he says. “Start with a sheer fruity scent and layer something grounding—like a skin musk or soft wood—beneath it.” He also suggests testing it on skin and giving it time to evolve before deciding if the combination works for you.
