Dates

Dates are a rich and sweet fragrance note with a deep, fruity, and slightly caramel-like scent profile that carries subtle honeyed and nutty undertones. Their aroma is warm, indulgent, and comforting, adding a gourmand and exotic quality to perfumes. Dates impart a luscious, natural sweetness and are often used as a middle or base note to create a cozy and opulent composition. They pair beautifully with spices, woody, and floral notes, contributing to fragrances that are warm, luxurious, and sophisticated.

History & Production: Dates come from the fruit of the date palm tree (Phoenix dactylifera), which has been cultivated for thousands of years in the Middle East and North Africa. Known for their rich, sugary flavor, dates have been a staple in both culinary and cultural practices. In perfumery, the scent of dates is often recreated using synthetic accords or combined with other sweet and fruity notes to mimic their deep, caramel-like aroma. Dates are valued for their ability to add a rich, sweet depth that enhances the warmth and complexity of fragrances, making them feel indulgent and exotic.
