DESERT PEACH (AUSTRALIA, QUANDONG)

Australian desert peach, or quandong, inspires a fruity perfume note with a bright, tart character. Goldfield & Banks describes its interpretation through peach and rhubarb nuances with a salty impression, set among pear, mandarin and other notes. This suggests fruit with a tangy edge rather than only soft, sugary peach flesh.

The botanical reference is Santalum acuminatum, a plant in the sandalwood family that bears red fruit. Despite the common name, it is not an ordinary peach tree, and its family connection does not make the fruit note smell like sandalwood oil. The documented perfume interpretation is an accord: the fruit comparisons and salt-like effect describe a creative scent, not a disclosed extract or recipe. Surrounding creamy or woody notes can soften the tartness and give the fruit a different setting.
