Scent Profile

White currant has a translucent, tart-fruity aroma with subtle green and watery undertones. Its scent is less sweet than red currant, offering a fresh, crisp, and slightly acidic nuance that can evoke the sensation of dew-covered berries. As it develops, it reveals gentle floral and musky facets, lending a clean brightness to compositions.

Origin

White currant is derived from the berries of Ribes rubrum cultivars, typically grown in temperate regions of Europe. In perfumery, its scent is recreated using natural isolates and synthetic aroma chemicals, as direct extraction yields little usable essence.
