Pitahaya

Pitahaya, commonly known as dragon fruit, is the fruit of several different cactus species indigenous to the Americas. It has a striking appearance with a vibrant pink or yellow skin and green scales that resemble a dragon — hence its nickname. The interior of the fruit features white or red flesh, dotted with small black seeds that add a mild crunch.

When it comes to its scent profile, pitahaya is subtly aromatic with a delicate sweetness. The aroma is often described as a blend of earthy and mildly sweet tones, reminiscent of other tropical fruits like kiwi, pear, and watermelon, but more subdued. Unlike its dramatic appearance, pitahaya's scent does not overwhelm and instead offers a light, refreshing fragrance that mirrors its soft, juicy texture and mildly sweet taste. This makes it not just a visually striking fruit, but also a gentle sensory enhancer perfect for exotic fruit blends or subtle floral scents in various applications, from culinary to perfumery.
