Where sandalwood comes from?

What is the fruity fragrance category like?
Joyful, optimistic, spontaneous, brash? Fruity fragrances are a product of contemporary perfumery. In the past, fruits were never considered for use in fragrances and people didn’t know how to produce fruity perfume ingredients either. Do you prefer sweeter or subtly refreshing notes? Handily, perfumers can work fruits in several different ways to obtain the desired effects. Fruity facets are generally found in the heart of a fragrance, but those with juicy and watery characteristics belong in the top notes. Whoever said that fruity fragrances are just for women was incredibly wrong! These notes have no gender and appeal to everyone. It is also said that these scents have a direct link to our childhood catalog of fragrances (i.e. they are “nostalgic”) and that is why we love them so much.
