About Apple Skin
Rather than the sweet flesh of the apple (Malus domestica), Apple Skin takes its cue from the peel. Perfumers can build the impression as an accord, sketching freshly cut peel from several materials.
Scent Profile
Where ripe apple flesh leans sweet and juicy, the skin reads greener and tauter, with a faintly **waxy** smoothness like the surface of a just-polished fruit. The juicy fruit character takes on a green edge that can recall the slight astringency of the skin.
Use in Perfumery
Apple skin tends to sit in the opening of fresh and fruity-floral compositions, giving them a bright, lightly crisp first impression. Paired with citrus such as grapefruit or green notes like violet leaf, it evokes clear morning air rather than a dessert-like fruitiness.
Did You Know?
Apples belong to the rose family, and their wild ancestor still grows in the mountain forests of Central Asia.
