Mirabelle

Mirabelle is a type of plum known for its sweet and floral aroma, predominantly found in Lorraine, France. It is particularly celebrated for its succulence and a honey-like sweetness. The scent profile of Mirabelle is complex, marked by fruity and mildly tangy notes that evoke the juiciness of fresh plums. It often carries hints of apricot, marked by a gentle acidity, and sometimes a whisper of almond from the pits, which adds a subtle bitterness that balances the fruitiness.

In perfumery, Mirabelle is valued for its lush, succulent qualities. Its fragrance is rich, with predominant top notes of sweet stone fruit which transition into softer, floral undertones reminiscent of white flowers and a touch of green to prevent it from being overly sweet. This makes Mirabelle a popular note in floral-fruity compositions, providing a bright, energetic burst that enhances both the freshness and depth of fragrances. It pairs particularly well with other fruity and floral notes, adding a vibrant layer to the scentscape.
