2024’s Top Perfumes Are Extra Juicy—20 Fruit-Inspired Scents We’re Not Okay Over

Recently, the fragrance note to watch was undoubtedly vanilla. We saw vanilla emerge in scents as we’d never seen it before—think smoky and sultry (à la Byredo’s Vanille Antique) or reminiscent of freshly blended frosting (à la Ellis Brooklyn’s Vanilla Milk). This year, however, a new fragrance trend is finding its footing, and just like the trend before, it’s still good enough to eat.

The fragrance trend du jour is juicy fruit. From cherries to grapes (and even more unexpected fruits like tangerines), this year’s best perfumes are freshly squeezed. Not only that, but they’re reimagined takes on already-familiar fruits.

This is interesting because, for a long time, fruity fragrances had a bad rap. They were considered to be almost childish. As such, they were mostly reserved for teenagers who spritzed on gobs of body spray—not adults wanting to smell sophisticated. These days, however, that couldn’t be further from the truth. Fruity notes are mixed in alluring floral notes and grounding musk, amber, and earthy accords. The result? Perfumes that are both playful and polished. Ahead, see the hottest, juiciest perfumes to spritz right now.
