About

A berry with a rose inside it. Bright, tart red fruit on opening, then a rosy lift that grows through the first hour and outlasts the fruit on the blotter.

Scent Profile

Arctic Bramble smells like a berry with a rose inside it. It opens bright and tart, like the first bite of fruit that is not quite ripe, with a faint green stem freshness that fades fast. A rosy floral lift grows through the first hour and outlasts the fruit on the skin. A cold, mineral air and a faint herbal thread run underneath.

Origin

Rubus arcticus is a low-growing perennial of Scandinavia, Finland, Russia and northern Canada. The fruit is small, deep red and fragile, ripening from late July into August, and is prized in Finland and Sweden for preserves and for mesimarja liqueur. No commercial essential oil or absolute exists. The perfumery note is a fantasy accord, built from rose oxide, fruity esters and berry lactones.

Usage in Perfumery

A heart note. It gives fresh, tart fruit to a composition and its tartness is used to cut sweeter material, so it turns up in both fruity and gourmand builds where a richer accord needs balancing. The rose facet is the reason to choose it over a generic red-fruit accord.
