About

Sweet, juicy red berry with green leafy facets

Scent Profile

Strawberry in perfumery presents a sweet, juicy red berry aroma with pronounced green leafy facets and subtle tartness. It can evoke both fresh and slightly candied nuances, sometimes accompanied by faint floral or creamy undertones. The scent evolves from a bright, mouthwatering top note to a softer, more diffusive fruity impression.

Origin

Natural strawberry extract is rarely used due to its instability and low yield; most strawberry notes are recreated using aroma chemicals such as ethyl methylphenylglycidate and other fruity-lactonic compounds. These synthetic reconstructions are designed to mimic the characteristic scent of ripe strawberries. Occasionally, infusions or macerations of the fruit are used in niche perfumery.

Usage in Perfumery

Strawberry is typically used as a top or heart note to impart a playful, juicy freshness to fragrances. It blends well with other fruits, florals, and gourmand notes, and is often found in modern fruity-floral or gourmand compositions. Perfumers use it to add brightness, sweetness, or a youthful accent to both feminine and unisex scents.
