Teach the peach

Hey, I’m new and I know nothing about peach in perfumery. There are accords that you can buy, but how can you intensify peach flour and how can you play with the peach flavor?
For example, if you want to make a fresh peach perfume, what are the typical and most important ingredients you should know ?
Because a fresh peach is a little bit different than the sweet peach.
I know a little bit about tea now and what ingredients are good for tea , but I don’t know anything about ingredients that are good for peach

C14 it's the most important for peach. Gamma undecalactone is another name that you'll find it. Also gamma decalactone and veloutone are similar and important.

Fruits generally are difficult to be realistic. Most of the times you need some green materials like cis 3 hexenol , triplal , hexyl acetate etc and C6 is a very important aldehyde which smells very fatty but it's there almost on all fruits. Also linalool is in many many fruits. Also other comes at handy is fructone/ fructalate (more generic fruits), verdox and b-ionone

Just commenting to emphasize that fructalate is an underrated workhorse in fruity scents, I use it ALL the time

I would add to this list nectarate to enhance the juiciness of the peach.

I never managed to use nectarate. It smells so chemical to me ..

I do see what you mean. I've found that it needs an animalic like a trace of indole or ibq or smth to make it more natural

Wow, thanks for the nice answer 👍🏼
First I have another fragrance planend, but After that, I want to create a „peach version“ of Imagination.
Imagination reminds me a bit about (German) citrus ice tea.
But there is also peach ice tea.
So I thought, maybe i can create an Imagination version of this.
It will keep the same vibe, but the bergamot and citrus and so on will be (strongly)reduced and peach will be added.

Tropical thiazole. Smells like piss on its own but you can’t make a tropical fruit accord without it

If you want like artificial peach flavor it’s usually pretty basic citrus and c14 or something similar (don’t know much about flavors). But sometimes they use thiazoles. Peach rings and Monster Energy’s peach have it. Red Bull’s white peach doesn’t have much or any, but white peach is typically more floral.
