Top note Fruity Fragrance oil

Crisp, juicy green or red apple, sometimes with a candy-like or cidery sweetness. Straight apple can smell like a lollipop; spiced versions read more natural.

Made from: A blended fragrance oil — no natural apple essential oil exists; the scent is built from fruity esters, lactones and other aroma chemicals.

A little lore

Apples originated in the Tian Shan mountains of Central Asia, where wild apple forests still grow in Kazakhstan.
