Persimmon

Persimmons give no perfume extract; the note is a perfumer's accord for the sweet orange fruit.

What it is
A fruit whose smell can’t be extracted, so perfumers rebuild it from other materials.
How perfumers build it
Known in
Euphoria (Calvin Klein, 2005)
Worth knowing
Unripe persimmons are bitter and astringent from tannin, which falls as the fruit matures.
