Note Profile
About
Snowberry as a fragrance note is a made-up winter accord, not a transcription of a plant. Two fragrance-oil vendors build it the same way: a berry and citrus top, a juniper, pine and balsam middle, and a sweet musky base.
Scent Profile
Snowberry is a made-up winter accord, fruity at the top with raspberry and citron. A dry, woody conifer middle follows, juniper berry and pine needle rather than anything creamy. A green needle freshness runs alongside the wood. The base is a clean, aromatic musk, with a sweet warmth stated directly by one description.

Origin
Named for Symphoricarpos albus, a shrub of western North America that carries white berry-like drupes about one to one and a half centimetres across through the winter. The berries have no perfumery use and the plant is not distilled. The USDA plant fact sheet records that the flowers have a strong unpleasant odour, so the note is named for how the fruit looks, not for how the plant smells.
Usage in Perfumery
Sold as a fragrance oil for candles and soap rather than as a perfumery raw material. It is used for cold-weather and forest framing, where the fruit gives lift and the conifer and musk give the body.
