What it smells like
Berries offer a diverse spectrum of fruity aromas ranging from sweet and jammy to tart and fresh. These small fruits provide scent memories of summer fields and orchards, with scent profiles that can be juicy, acidic, or even slightly floral depending on the variety. In perfumery, berries are often used to create naturalistic fruity accords or to add a juicy, edible quality to compositions.
How it's used in perfumery
Berries are versatile fruity notes that blend well with citrus, floral, and gourmand accords. They work particularly well with vanilla, woods, and creamy notes to create dessert-like fragrances. Berry notes can be natural extracts or synthetic recreations, with potency varying by type. Strawberry is often delicate while blackberry can be quite potent and requires careful dosing.
Fun fact
The characteristic aroma of fresh berries comes from a complex mixture of esters and aldehydes that create their signature fruity scent profile.
