A ready-made dried-fruit note rather than a single fruit ester.
How Fruit Sec is used
Used for a dried-fruit signature in fruity and gourmand-oriental accords.
Typical role: modifier (used in small amounts to change the character of a blend).
How Fruit Sec differs from similar materials
- Datilat
- Datilat is fig and raisin with brandy and a green edge; Fruit Sec is plum and apricot, a whole dried-fruit base.
- Pyroprunat
- Pyroprunat is a single plum note with rose and violet; Fruit Sec is a ready-made dried-fruit base of plum and apricot.
Each difference compares the published descriptions of the two materials. Smell varies with grade, supplier and dilution; compare them side by side on blotters before substituting one for another.
