White nectarine

Nectarines, like peaches, yield no perfume extract; the smooth stone-fruit flesh is built from lactones and fruity esters.

What it is
A fruit whose smell can’t be extracted, so perfumers rebuild it from other materials.
How perfumers build it
Known in
The Wedding Silk Santal 36 (Kayali, 2023)
Worth knowing
A nectarine is a peach without fuzz; breeding tests in 1906 showed the smooth skin is a recessive trait.
