Fruity fragrances: A juicy love affair in perfumery
There’s something about fruity perfumes that just makes the heart sing. Maybe it's their lush, juicy charm or the way they instantly lift your mood. Fruity notes have always had a place in perfumery — from adding a sweet, succulent twist to florals to bringing that zingy brightness we crave on hot summer days. Citrus, especially, has been the season’s go-to splash of freshness for decades.
From dripping peaches to refreshing citrus
One of the earliest and most iconic fruity fragrances? Guerlain’s Mitsouko, released in 1919. With its unmistakable peachy nuance, it paved the way for generations of fruit-forward scents.
At Perfume Lounge, our shelves are filled with fragrances that nod to the fruity genre. But for this roundup, we’re going all in — highlighting ten (well, now eleven!) perfumes that take fruit to the next level. Think dripping peaches, ripe pineapples, juicy pears, sunlit citruses, and radiant red berries. These are for the parfumistas who want to truly bathe in bold, fruity splendor.
Lorenzo Villoresi - Tropicana
Could a perfume be any fruitier? Tropicana is a lush, tropical dream — bursting with exotic fruits and drenched in golden sunlight. Imagine wandering through a paradise of vibrant flowers and juicy unknown fruits, the breeze scented with sweetness, and the sea glittering nearby. A sensory escape in a bottle.

Parfums MDCI - La Belle Hélène
A must for pear-lovers. Inspired by the classic French dessert Pears Belle-Hélène, this fragrance isn’t a dessert bomb — rather, it's a sophisticated fruity chypre. Rose and osmanthus give it floral lift, while amber and woods warm it up. Happy, feminine, and refreshingly elegant.

Nicolaï Paris - Pavlova
Cheerful and sparkling, Pavlova opens with a tropical cocktail of pineapple, passion fruit, and coconut. A hit of raspberry adds tart depth, while cedarwood and sandalwood ground the composition. Vanilla and musk in the base bring a creamy, meringue-like softness that lingers beautifully. Like dessert, but make it chic.
