Mirabelle Plum: The Golden Fruit of Fine Fragrance


Delicate, radiant, and effortlessly elegant, Mirabelle Plum captures the joyful freshness of late summer orchards. With its golden sweetness, soft floral undertones, and subtle brightness, it brings a luminous character to modern perfumery that feels both playful and refined. Rather than overpowering a fragrance, Mirabelle Plum adds a natural glow—making it one of contemporary fragrance's most charming fruity notes.

What Is Mirabelle Plum?

Mirabelle Plum is a small golden variety of plum belonging to the Prunus domestica species.

It is best known for being cultivated in the Lorraine region of northeastern France, where it has been celebrated for centuries for its exceptional sweetness and delicate flavor.

In perfumery, Mirabelle Plum is usually recreated through carefully crafted fragrance accords rather than extracted directly from the fruit.

These accords capture the fruit's juicy brightness while preserving its elegant, sophisticated character.
