Strawberry
Strawberry is one of the most joyful and instantly recognisable fruity notes in perfumery. Its aroma captures the essence of ripe, sun-kissed berries — sweet, juicy, and slightly tangy — bringing a sense of youthfulness and vibrancy to any fragrance. Though the fruit itself has no extractable essential oil, perfumers recreate its scent through carefully crafted accords that blend fruity, creamy, and green molecules.
Used mainly as a top or heart note, Strawberry opens a composition with brightness and warmth. It lends a mouth-watering sweetness that feels both natural and uplifting, often used to soften sharp citrus or to enliven florals and musks. In gourmand creations, it adds a comforting familiarity reminiscent of sugar, cream, and fresh desserts.
Strawberry pairs beautifully with vanilla, jasmine, and amber to create smooth, romantic blends, or with apple, pear, and raspberry for lively, playful energy. Its versatility makes it a staple in modern fruity-floral and gourmand perfumes, adding charm without overpowering the overall balance.
Emotionally, Strawberry evokes happiness, nostalgia, and warmth — the scent of summer afternoons and simple pleasures. It embodies a carefree optimism that appeals across generations.
In contemporary perfumery, Strawberry continues to shine as a symbol of freshness and joy. Its juicy sweetness and gentle warmth make it an irresistible note that brings colour, light, and delight to every composition.
