Fragrance Pyramid
Olfactive Character
Delicate, juicy, and softly floral. White peach is more refined than yellow peach, with less sugary sweetness and more floral nuance. It has a nectar-like quality that is elegant rather than candied.
Origin & Harvest
White peach accords are synthetic reconstructions. The natural fruit does not yield a usable essential oil. The accord emphasises the delicate, floral-fruity character of white peach varieties such as those cultivated in Japan and southern France.
Key Molecules
Gamma-undecalactone (peach aldehyde) provides the characteristic peachy-lactonic quality. Linalool adds floral freshness. Cis-3-hexenol contributes green naturalness. The accord is delicately balanced.
Safety & Regulation
Synthetic peach accord components are well characterised and IFRA compliant. No significant allergen concerns. Gamma-undecalactone is one of the most widely used lactones in perfumery.
In Perfumery
A popular note in feminine and unisex compositions. Found in Mitsouko by Guerlain and Delina by Parfums de Marly. Pairs with rose, white tea, and musk. In KIDA KYO, white peach adds delicate, Japanese fruit elegance.
History
White peach cultivation in Japan dates back centuries. The fruit is a symbol of longevity and good fortune. Its translation into perfumery captures the refinement of Japanese fruit culture.
