About

Mulberry is the fruit of trees of the genus Morus, native to Asia and parts of Europe. The fruit yields little oil, so the note is built from natural isolates and synthetic aroma compounds. It smells juicy and sweet-tart, like ripe red and black berries, with green and woody touches. It is rounder than raspberry, with a wine-like depth and a soft jammy finish.

Scent Profile

Mulberry has a juicy, sweet-tart aroma reminiscent of ripe red and black berries, with subtle green and woody undertones. Its scent is less sharp than raspberry, offering a rounded fruitiness with a hint of wine-like depth. As it evolves, it reveals soft, jammy facets balanced by a mild freshness.

Origin

Mulberry note in perfumery is typically recreated using natural isolates and synthetic aroma compounds, as the fruit itself yields little extractable oil. The mulberry tree (genus Morus) is native to Asia and parts of Europe, but the scent is usually constructed in the lab for consistency and intensity.

Usage in Perfumery

Perfumers use mulberry primarily as a heart or top note to impart a lush, naturalistic fruitiness to compositions. It blends well with other red fruits, florals, and woody notes, and is often used to add depth to gourmand or fruity-floral fragrances. Its nuanced character helps bridge fresh and sweet accords.
