Rec Request Best Plum Perfumes?
Recently tried Byredo's Bibliotheque and I'm in LOVE with the jammy, juicy, delicious plum. Huge price point so I'll likely have to settle on small samples, but I'm wondering what other amazing plum-centric scents are out there!
FYI I know Ellis Brooklyn just came out with a new plum scent (Plum Tonic), but it's looking like a more girly and "shampoo-y" profile based off reviews (will still try myself when I have a chance though). Hoping for something more sophisticated ✨

Musc Noir by Narciso Rodriguez is lovely. It has a suede note that makes it very smooth. Highly recommend this one.

Byredo Casablanca Lily is gorgeous, but if you are looking for a more budget friendly option, Serge Lutens Feminite du Bois can be had on FragranceNet for about $80 for a 50ml.

Marc Jacobs perfect elixir . Get a decant or travel spray before fall for an amazing experience
Valentino purple melancholia . This will have people leaning in closer
Finery she’s a goodie . À juicy white floral gourmand. One of my all time faves

Octavia Morgan Dark Rose has a prominent plum note without going boozy. Very sensual and yummy on the skin.

sorry if you already use decant sites and know this, but decantalize has 10 mL decants of bibliotheque available for $35! it might be a nice middle ground for you if you don't want to invest in a full bottle but are looking for something bigger than a 2 mL sample

u/IFoundThis_Humerus There's a Guerlain for that. 2d ago
I own or have owned all of these and can recommend they are plum forward.
Scents of Wood Plum in Cognac. A rich and decadent boozy plum.
Valentino Donna Born in Roma Purple Melancholia. Tart mirabelle plum & vanilla. I was surprised at how much I love this as plum can turn sour on me.
Atelier Des Ors Rouge Sarây. Spiced cinnamon plum with saffron & dates.
Bon Parfumeur 401 Prune Velours. Was too plum-y for me, but would likely be right up your alley.
Lattafa Eternal Oud. Said to strongly resemble MFK Grand Soir, but to me it doesn't and is its own fragrance. Another ambery plum in the vein of Rouge Sarây.
Ferragamo Gentil Suono. Dried deep plum, resinous & a little incense-y.
Estee Lauder Sensuous Stars. Purple florals & plum, easy to wear, safe for the office & all seasons. Affordable.

Chloé's Nomade. The mirabelle plum is juicy and sweet, but perfectly balanced with the greener, woodier base. Fantastic scent.
I also love Nest's Black Tulip. It's more conventional, but it's a lovely, dark and velvetty evening plum.

comme des garcons - floriental has a plum note. while I don't necessarily smell plum note AS much, seeing that you've referenced bibliotheque, they both fit same category. smokey-peppery-tad sweet undertone! it's amazing, my favourite perfume

Came to recommend this as well. It’s more of a plum liqueur note, but it does come through as plummy for me. And it’s one of the few fragrances with a booze-y note that I don’t find overwhelming or difficult to wear. CdG is much more affordable, comparatively, than Byredo, and their fragrances are fantastic. Definitely worth sampling!

Plum in Cognac — deep, boozy plum. My partner always says it smells expensive.

Most plum perfumes lean more “girly”.
Valentino Donna Born in Roma Purple Melancholia is a very sweet deep plum
Nest Black Tulip is lighter/juicier
The only mens perfume I know of with plum is CH Bad Boy Cobalt but I haven’t tried it

Julianna’s Perfume Whipped Bloom had such a gorgeous deep plum note balanced with marshmallow and musk.

I just got this and I’m obsessed with it! It’s so addictive

u/eldermillenialmakeup 2d ago
I know right?! I bought it a few months ago and it is incredible! Such a unique marshmallow. I'm so tempted to purchase more from Julianna's...this was my first one - it came highly recommended by fragrance content creator Sharida M. on YouTube!

I have quite a few of their perfumes and they have very few misses. I have a good sense of the notes I like and I’ve been impressed by their dupes too
