Melon

Melon in perfume suggests the cool, sweet flesh of a ripe melon. The smell is juicy and watery, with a soft green sweetness, somewhere between cucumber and pear. Perfumers build it from aroma molecules with watery, green character, because the fruit gives no usable oil. It is a light, fresh note that reads as clean and easy. Melon makes fruit accords feel dewy, adds a breezy softness to marine and floral compositions, and gives sweet notes a refreshing lift so that they do not become heavy.

Melon mostly opens the fragrances in this range, adding a cool, watery sweetness that makes fruit and florals feel juicy and light.
