Fruity Velixir perfumes: notes and accords

Reading the fruity family

Fruit notes in perfumery are mostly composed rather than extracted: the pear, lychee or raspberry in a perfume is built to read as the fruit. Next to citrus they feel juicy; next to musk or woods they turn softer and cleaner.

The notes that recur most among these eight perfumes: musk (4), pear (3), vetiver (3), ambrette (2), jasmine (2) and patchouli (2). The accords the brand names most for them: fruity (7), citrus (3), white floral (2), woody (2) and musky (2).

Choosing within the family

Pear is in Icarus, Artemis and Persephone. Lychee and rhubarb are in Athena, raspberry in Selene and Panacea, coconut in Helios.
