Origin

Natural blueberry extract is rarely used due to low yield and instability; instead, the scent is recreated using aroma chemicals such as methyl anthranilate, damascones, and ionones. These compounds are blended to mimic the characteristic facets of fresh blueberries. The note is entirely constructed in the lab for perfumery purposes.

Usage in Perfumery

Perfumers typically use blueberry as a top or heart note to impart a playful, juicy accent in fruity, gourmand, or modern floral compositions. It pairs well with other berries, citrus, vanilla, and creamy or musky bases. Blueberry is often used to add brightness and a contemporary twist to blends.
