Peach
soft and sweet with a fuzzy edge, more like the skin than the juice
In 103 of 1747 fragrances here
What it is
A reconstruction, like almost all fruit other than citrus. Built from lactones, the same family behind milk and coconut, which is why peach notes feel creamy.
What it smells like
Soft and fuzzy, nearer the skin of the fruit than the juice. At higher doses it turns into a specific kind of 1980s sweetness that some people find comforting and others read immediately as dated.
Where it sits
Which layer of the pyramid it is listed in, across every fragrance here that carries it. A base note is one you smell for hours; a top note is usually gone within the first.
What it turns up with
How much more often than the catalogue average. 1.0x would be chance, so these are the things that genuinely travel with it rather than the things that are simply common.
When it is worn
Against the average fragrance here. The line marks that average, so a bar past it means this is worn in that season or setting more than most.
Houses that use it most
