Watermelon – the official fruit of summer, that will cheer you up

Elusive and light, watermelon is the official fruit of summer. Or at least we want it to be! Is there a more appropriate fruity symbol of the carefree summertime than the mouthwatering watermelon that equally well satisfies both hunger and thirst? A slice of freshly cut freezing cold watermelon taken directly from the fridge will inevitably make you want to devour it before the little drops of water form on its rind due to the high temperatures outside.

In perfumery, the note watermelon is very often used as a top note both for men’s and for women’s fragrances mainly because of its aquatic, fruity, and green fresh smell. The main purpose of the watermelon note in a perfume composition is to cheer you up, making you feel lighthearted and ready to party! Just look at some of the words and phrases used in the names of perfumes featuring watermelon perfume notes:

Do you know?

Growing square watermelons is a very popular practice in Japan where watermelons are grown in special containers, assuming their shape as they grow. Square watermelons are very easy to cut and save precious space in your fridge.

The watermelon note in perfumery

In perfumery, there is no such thing as watermelon essential oil. With over 90% water content, it would be impossible to extract watermelon essential oil from this fruit regardless of the extraction method. That’s why the watermelon perfume note is recreated in laboratories where perfumers and scientists make artificial watermelon notes reminding us of the sweet watery scent of the original.

Primarily used as a top note, the perfume note watermelon goes very well with citrus notes (bergamot, clementine, lemon, mandarin, and grapefruit), fruity notes (green apple, peach, pineapple, red berries, red currant, coconut, pomegranate, kiwi, raspberry, passiflora, and pear), herbs and spices (coriander, basil, bamboo, tea leaves, cardamom, pink pepper, rhubarb, cinnamon, and mint).
