Papaya

Originating from the papaya tree, the papaya comes straight from Mexico. This long and fleshy fruit, filled with small seeds, is now known by all for its particular taste, both green and sweet, as well as for its many virtues. The juice of papaya is still recognized today as a particularly effective remedy to relieve stomach aches. In cosmetics, the fruit is an ingredient of choice thanks to the antioxidants it contains, very often used in anti-aging products. In perfumery, it remains however rather discreet. Its fresh and exotic smell is reconstituted thanks to the assembly of various synthetic molecules. This note was introduced in the 90’s, at the time of gourmand and very fruity perfumes. Now, some perfumers do not hesitate to combine it with more oriental fragrances to bring more sensuality.
