From a plant of the passionflower family, the passion fruit is a tropical fruit that contains small seeds surrounded by a fruity and tart pulp. As with many fruits, it is impossible to extract an essence from the fruit in its natural state. Its fragrance can be faithfully reproduced in the laboratory using synthetic chemistry and in particular the headspace technique. The passion fruit note reveals fruity and exotic accents. The perfumer can also use the note of passionflower, with floral accents. It is mostly found in summer and feminine fragrances.
