Fragrance Note
Dates
Dates in fragrance read as dark, sweet, slightly boozy fruit · Middle Eastern in character, often paired with oud, saffron, and amber to anchor "Arabian" oriental compositions.
About Dates
Date palm fruit (Phoenix dactylifera) yields no commercially viable extract, so the date accord is constructed synthetically. The note evokes Medjool or Khalas dates · sticky-sweet, slightly fermented, with a deep caramelised facet. Dates anchor Middle Eastern-style oriental compositions, especially the Lattafa, Maison Lattafa, and Kayali Khamrah category that has surged in popularity from 2020 onwards.
