About

Cherry syrup is a gourmand note: boiled sugar syrup carrying cherry. It is dense and sweet rather than juicy, closer to the liquid a maraschino cherry sits in than to fresh fruit. A bitter-almond edge runs under the sugar and stops it going flat.

Scent Profile

Cherry syrup smells of dark red cherry steeped in sugar, syrup-soaked rather than fresh off the tree. A thick, sweet sugar note runs level with the fruit, and a bitter almond edge sits underneath, the way it does in most cherry notes. A small boozy lift, like kirsch, and a sticky honeyed quality round it out. It is dense and gourmand rather than juicy.

Origin

Not a distilled material. It is a fantasy gourmand accord, built from cherry aroma chemicals over a syrup base. The cherry character comes from benzaldehyde and cherry esters, the syrup from vanillic and caramelic sweeteners. Nothing was found treating it as a defined perfumery raw material separate from the brand compositions that carry the name.

Usage in Perfumery

A top-to-heart gourmand accent. It gives a build an immediate sweet-red-fruit hit and a candied texture. It works over vanilla, tonka, benzoin and ambroxan bases, and is used to soften the medicinal edge of saffron.
