About Dates

Scent Profile

The dates note is sweet, fruity, and sugary, with a deep, caramel-like richness and honeyed undertones. It can have a slightly fermented, vinous nuance that adds complexity.

Use in Perfumery

Dates are often used in Middle Eastern-inspired and gourmand fragrances, providing warmth and depth. As a base note, it emerges after several hours and can last for a long time. It pairs well with amber and white florals.

Did You Know?

Natural date absolute is rare and expensive, so most dates notes in perfumery are synthetic accords created with molecules like furaneol and maltol to replicate the characteristic sweetness.
