Sapodilla
Manilkara zapota
Sapodilla is the fruit of the sapodilla tree, whose sap was long used to make chewing gum. Under its rough brown skin, its melting flesh tastes of ripe pear and brown sugar, with a hint of caramel. In perfumery, its scent is recreated by the perfumer, who gives it a fruity, almost gourmand softness.
What it brings
A soft, melting fruitiness, between ripe pear and brown sugar.
