Визначення

Green, almond-bitter, and faintly fruity. Peach leaf smells nothing like the fruit — it is sharper, greener, and carries a bitter-almond character from the same amygdalin that makes cherry pits smell of marzipan.

Запах

Bitter-green with a marzipan-almond edge. The greenness is crisper and more astringent than fig leaf, sharper than violet leaf. The benzaldehyde component adds a nutty-sweet bitterness that is distinctly Prunus-family. Faintly fruity in the way that an orchard is fruity — atmosphere rather than juice.

Less dense than peach absolute (which captures the fruit's lactonic sweetness). More austere, more herbal, more structural.

Докладно

Peach leaf (Prunus persica) has an aromatic profile quite distinct from the fruit. The leaves contain amygdalin, a cyanogenic glycoside that breaks down to release benzaldehyde — the molecule responsible for the bitter-almond, marzipan-like scent. The same compound is found in cherry bark, apricot kernels, and bitter almonds.

The fresh green character of peach leaf comes from cis-3-hexenol (leaf alcohol) and related green-leaf volatiles. The combination of benzaldehyde's almond bitterness and green-leaf freshness creates a note that is sharp, herbal, and vaguely fruity — suggesting orchard rather than fruit bowl.

In perfumery, peach leaf is used to add a bitter-green, orchard-fresh quality to compositions. It is not a peach note — it is a green note with peach's genetic fingerprint. This distinction makes it useful as a naturalizer and a bridge between green and fruity elements.

Отримання й хімія

Спосіб отримання

Steam distillation or solvent extraction of fresh peach leaves. Yield is very low. The aromatic character can also be reconstructed using cis-3-hexenol, cis-3-hexenyl acetate (for green leaf character) and benzaldehyde or heliotropin (for the almond-bitter quality). Natural peach leaf extract is a specialty product not widely available at scale.

У парфумерії

Peach leaf is a green top-to-heart note that adds orchard-fresh bitterness to compositions. It bridges green and fruity territories — providing a naturalistic transition between bright citrus top notes and warmer lactonic peach-fruit notes below. The benzaldehyde component makes it useful in almond and Prunus-flower accords. Complements cherry blossom, almond blossom, and green-floral bouquets.
