Best Bright: Kayali Eden Juicy Apple is a sweet
Why it’s worth it: Kayali’s Eden Juicy Apple is a sweet, crisp bite into brightness. The fruitiness is punctuated by jasmine, rose, vanilla flower, and a touch of musk that steers the freshness back to earthy territory. The result is an apple fragrance that makes us feel happy, playful, and uplifted with every spritz.

Best Nostalgic: Nette Pear Jam Eau de Parfum
Why it’s worth it: Nette’s heady scents often center flowers like rose and neroli, but here, pear steals the show. Perfectly pulpy, the brand’s 2024 Best of Beauty-winning Pear Jam is a grungy take on a classically fruity fragrance, flanked with notes of rosewater and ambrette seed—just as exciting as it is even-keeled. At the base, peach and patchouli fill in the gaps and clean up the edges. And the bottle itself? Stunning.
Tester feedback: Features director Dianna Mazzone Singh says, “There aren’t enough adjectives to describe the deliciousness of this yummy fragrance.” Meanwhile, social media manager Bianca Richards recalls the scents on her aunt’s dresser and the body sprays of her youth whenever she smells Pear Jam’s notes of pear, rose and patchouli. “The powdery finish gives it that modern and mature element that’s soft, clean, and uplifting,” Richards adds.

How we test and review products
When Allure tests a product, our editors look at it from every angle in an effort to best serve you. We review ingredients, scrutinize brand claims, and, when necessary, examine peer-reviewed scientific and medical studies. In addition to testing each and every product that’s included in each and every review, we rely on experts who shape their fields, including dermatology, cosmetic chemistry, and medicine, to help us vet the ingredients and formulas.
For our list of the best fruity perfumes, we considered each product’s performance across five primary categories: product ingredients and efficacy, packaging, fragrance, texture, and product wear. Every product was determined to have excelled in each category by our editorial team, which is composed of in-house writers and editors as well as contributors—along with special consideration from fragrance experts. To learn more information on our reporting and testing processes, read our complete reviews process and methodology page.
Our staff and testers
A beauty product is a personal purchase. You might be searching for a face cream to address persistent dryness or a new nail product to add to your Sunday self-care routine; you may simply be browsing around for the latest launches to hit the hair market. No matter what you seek or your individual needs and concerns, Allure wants to ensure that you love anything we recommend in our stories. We believe that having a diverse team of writers and editors—in addition to the wide range of outside testers and industry experts we regularly call upon—is essential to reaching that goal.
