15 Fruity Perfumes That Will Make Your Mouth Water, Tested and Reviewed for 2025

I almost cried *actual* tears when I first sniffed Meliora—the combination of red berries and lily of the valley reminds me of gardening with my mom when I was little. Plus, it projects well without being headache-inducing. According to fragrance TikTok, this is the perfume a fairy princess would wear, and I have to agree. It smells like the most luxurious shampoo money can buy, and despite owning dozens of perfumes, it's one I keep reaching for over and over again.

• Key notes: Cassis, raspberry, lily of the valley, vanilla, cedarwood
• Size: 4.2 fl oz for $375

Glowing customer review: "Meliora smells like happiness, child memories and the berry + cassis note gives it forest-fairy vibe. So uplifting."

If shaking a** at a beach club while sipping a frozen drink could be bottled into a perfume, this would be it. Guava Granita is a certified compliment magnet, with downright delectable notes of creamy banana, guava nectar, melon, coconut, and mango—basically, it smells like a sexy fruit smoothie. Pro tip: try layering this scent with Miami Nectar, and you'll be whisked away to a tropical paradise (metaphorically speaking, of course).

• Key notes: Guava, banana, coconut, Cavaillon melon, mango blossom
• Size: .34 fl oz for $33, 1.7 fl oz for $115

Glowing customer review: "This guava scent is like a tropical vacation in a bottle! It's fresh, juicy, and super playful with that sweet guava kick."

Two words: adult. creamsicle. This best-seller from Snif is your favorite ice cream truck treat in perfume form, with notes of grapefruit, sparkling water, neroli, and a literal creamsicle accord. This has been my go-to gym fragrance for nearly two years since its orange-y vanilla scent always puts me in a good mood. And even if you're not usually a fan of citrus perfumes, I still recommend giving this one a try; it's fantastic entry point that won't break the bank.

• Key notes: Creamsicle accord, grapefruit, neroli, sparkling water, cedar
• Size: .34 fl oz for $25, 1 fl oz for $65

Glowing customer review: "Not normally a citrus person, but I’m converted. Citrus Circus has become one of my favorites for daily wear! It’s light, refreshing, uplifting, and really does smell like a creamsicle."

In my opinion, mango is lowkey one of the trickiest notes to nail in a perfume, but this scent by Brown Girl Jane gets it right. Inspired by a Carnivale festival in Trinidad, this perfume is a celebration of Caribbean culture with a realistic burst of sun-ripened mango in the opening. It dries down to a cozy vanilla and jasmine skin scent that's sweet but not too sweet, thanks to a spicy kick of ginger. Despite being a tropical fruit-forward fragrance, I think this scent is perfect for year-round wear.

• Key notes: Mango, ginger, jasmine, sandalwood, vanilla
• Size: .34 fl oz for $30, 1.7 fl oz for $102

Glowing customer review: "This BROWN GIRL Jane Carousel is giving luxury, warmth, and all the Black girl magic in a bottle—it’s my new signature scent, and I legit can’t stop smelling myself!"

Cherries are arguably the sexiest fruit of them all, so it's no wonder that they're having a major moment right now. Mysterious yet playful, this softly spiced pick will help you lean into your sultry side: "I love that she's bright and sweet without feeling childish," says commerce editor Samantha Jones. "The vanilla and patchouli base notes make it warm and a lil' sexy—so it's perfect for summer nights."

• Key notes: Cherry, pear, anise, vanilla, patchouli
• Size: .3 fl oz for $45, 1 fl oz for $80, 1.7 fl oz for $125, 3.4 fl oz for $169

Glowing customer review: "It’s bold and sweet, with a delicious cherry note. For me it’s perfect for nights out or just when you want to feel a little extra. ;) It also lasts all day and even through the evening without fading, which is rare for sweet fragrances."

Kayali is basically the CEO of edible-smelling fragrances, and Sparkling Lychee is the shining example. "The fragrance is playfully sweet yet crisp; it reminds me of those cotton candy grapes," says commerce editor Anvita Reddy. "It’s sugary but has more depth and a dynamic scent profile that pulls more sophisticated."

The musky, vanilla base notes make this perfume surprisingly versatile—and if you’re into layering scents, Reddy recommends pairing it with vanilla amber, musk, or oud for added depth.

• Key notes: Mango, ginger, jasmine, sandalwood, vanilla
• Size: .34 fl oz for $29, 1.7 fl oz for $100, 3.4 fl oz for $138

Glowing customer review: "It has a playful, juicy scent with a noticeable hint of lychee on top of a floral rose base. The overall composition is stunning, and it has impressive lasting power."

If you were a fan of Victoria's Secret Love Spell back in the day, consider this fruity floral from Boy Smells your new signature scent. Rosy Cheeks is sugary yet sensual, with a tart opening of cassis and pomegranate that dries down to a jammy rose and sandalwood. I wore this out to dinner with my boyfriend, and he kept saying how sweet I smelled—so don't be surprised if your date finds it equally irresistible.

"It smells like an early 2000s hot girl," adds commerce editor Sarah Maberry. "Like what the coolest girl in your middle school would wear now."

• Key notes: Cassis, pomegranate, rose, sandalwood, amber
• Size: .34 fl oz for $30, 1.7 fl oz for $78

Glowing customer review: "This perfume brings serious Y2K energy in the best way—bright, fruity, and fun without being overpowering. It’s bold, playful, and somehow still elegant. I’ve been reaching for it daily—perfect for casual mornings or dressed-up evenings."

Liis' Floating is the clean girl's answer to fruity perfumes: it's airy, refreshing, and not cloying in the slightest. I can't wait to spritz this on sundresses once it really starts to get hot outside, because it kinda reminds me of freshly washed linens floating in the breeze and perfectly ripe peaches. Like most lighter scent profiles, this perfume fades somewhat quickly—so I suggest layering it with a body oil or lotion to help it stick better.

• Key notes: Peach, bergamot, crisp linen, wild orchid, sequoia wood
• Size: 1.7 fl oz for $175

Glowing customer review: "Such a beautiful, ethereal scent! Photorealistic, ripe peaches, a linen note and a white musky base. So relaxing, effortless, and clean."

Looking for a body spray that *actually* lasts on skin? Try this delightful dragonfruit scent from Phlur, which is the coconut hater's answer to tropical perfumes. Evoking beloved pink body mists of shopping malls past, Dragon Fruit marries pineapple, watermelon, and dragonfruit with soft florals like peony and plum blossom. It genuinely impressed me with its staying power—I spritzed it on my wrists around noon, and I was still getting whiffs of it late into the evening.

• Key notes: Pineapple, watermelon, dragonfruit, peony, plum blossom
• Size: 3 fl oz for $25, 8 fl oz for $38

Glowing customer review: "It smells fresh, juicy, clean, and fruity like you just stepped out of a bubble bath. I can’t stop smelling myself when I wear this!"

Fig is one of my absolute favorite scents of all time, and this pick from D.S. & Durga takes my #1 spot. It starts off green and almost grassy before developing into a creamy fig and coconut scent that's lush and spa-like. Supporting notes of tonka bean and powdery iris prevent this perfume from smelling too fresh, giving it depth and coziness. When I'm having a stressful day, all it takes is a whiff of this perfume to make me feel more at ease—so it's a good thing it lasts all day on my skin.

• Key notes: Pineapple, watermelon, dragonfruit, peony, plum blossom
• Size: 3 fl oz for $25, 8 fl oz for $38

Glowing customer review: "It's an incredible smelling fig fragrance that starts with a creamy, coconut-y sweetness thats feels very unisex. Perfect for spring or summer but would work equally well all year round."

"Beast mode" fragrances that can fill a whole room with their powerful scent are a major trend in 2025—and few perfumes do it better than Erba Pura. Its bright, juicy scent profile reminds me of Trident Layers gum in the *best* way, and it's by far one of the longest-lasting perfumes in my collection. Fair warning: this scent is seriously nuclear, so you only need one or two sprays tops for a fresh blast of fruitiness that lasts all day and night (and then some).

• Key notes: Sicilian orange, Calabrian bergamot, Mediterranean fruit basket, Madagascar vanilla, ambroxan
• Size: 1.7 fl oz for $180, 3.4 fl oz for $270

Glowing customer review: "Delicious fruity opening with an ambroxan dry down. Lasts forever and smells rich."

Fruity perfumes aren't *just* for spring and summer, people! While you might typically associate fruity scent profiles with warmer weather, Fruto Oscuro (literally, dark fruit) is like sipping mulled red wine in a wood cabin in the dead of winter. It's spicy, warm, and utterly intoxicating, with prominent notes of clove and Mexican black cherry. Bonus points for its impressive staying power; I've found that it lasts upwards of ten hours on skin and even longer on clothing.

• Key notes: Mexican black cherry, zapote, quince jam, clove, frankincense
• Size: 1.7 fl oz for $185

Glowing customer review: "Gorgeous and complex, the perfect winter fruit-forward fragrance. Mulled wine and nostalgia. Can't get enough."

As much as I love my beast-mode fragrances that can fill a room, sometimes you need a perfume that whispers rather than screams — especially if you plan on wearing it somewhere as confined as an office. Soft, romantic, and slightly sweet, Hyper Violet is a fruity scent that's subtle enough to wear to work and beyond. And while some fruity scents can lean a little juvenile, a hefty dose of jasmine makes this smell sooo elegant.

• Key notes: Red apple, tangerine, jasmine, vanilla, amber
• Size: 1 fl oz for $45, 3.4 fl oz for $78

Glowing customer review: "I’d say the scent strength is perfect—noticeable but not overwhelming. I had a friend ask me what I was wearing, so it definitely makes a little statement without being too bold. As for versatility, I’ve worn it to brunch, on a date night, and even just running errands—it works for everything."
