Granny Smith apple

Granny Smith apple is the specific green apple variety that provides the crispest, most tart, and most refreshingly clean fruity note in perfumery. Named after Maria Ann Smith who first cultivated the variety in Australia, the Granny Smith is known for its bright green skin and sharp, mouth-puckering tartness.

In perfumery, Granny Smith apple captures that specific ultra-crisp, juicy bite that sets it apart from sweeter apple varieties. The note is sharper and more energetic than generic green apple, with an almost effervescent quality that sparkles in the top notes of a fragrance.

Granny Smith apple is created using synthetic molecules that perfectly reproduce the distinctive character of this particular cultivar. It pairs beautifully with other fruits, white flowers, green notes, and light musks.

The note is a favorite in modern feminine fragrances seeking a clean, youthful energy. Granny Smith apple works wonderfully in spring and summer compositions where its crisp freshness feels invigorating.

It also adds an interesting contrast when used alongside warmer, sweeter base notes.
