I don't know if I'd call it a fruity scent. It's hard to describe. It's kinda floral(?). I'm really sensitive to lip scents and this one doesn't bother me. I don't find it as strong as Chanel lip products, so that's great. The gloss is so smooth, pigmented and even moisturizing. That's a good thing for my dry lips. The shimmer powder is gorgeous. It was kinda like stabbing myself in the heart when I had to swipe my brush across it. You only need a tiny bit or else you'll be left to blend away. There's a lot of shimmer in it. It's not a necessary purchase, though unless you just love highlighters. I'm going back for more of the glosses, though.
