Strawberries for Valentine's Day

Sweet yet fresh, juicy, and slightly tart, strawberries add a gourmand touch to the perfume without tipping into the excessive sweetness of gourmand scents. Both playful and refined, they pair beautifully with flowers, vanilla, and musk.

Red, sweet, and bright, strawberries are associated with passion and sensuality. They are a symbol of desire, a pleasure for all the senses.

This is how the strawberry note is crafted in perfumery

In perfumery, the scent of strawberry does not come from the fruit itself, but from the creativity of the perfumer and the laboratory work to recreate it.

Today, new technologies allow the fruit's facets to be captured while preserving its freshness. This is the case of Strawberry Nat Neo, by MANE, obtained through Jungle Essence technology with supercritical CO2, resulting in a fresh, herbaceous, and intense floral accord.

In 2022, Symrise introduced recycled strawberry Symtrap, an accord used by Aliénor Massenet in the fragrance Armure Mara, by Rabanne.

What sensations does strawberry bring to the perfume?

Strawberry adds sweetness but without being cloying. It belongs to the neogourmand trend; that is, it is associated with something edible and sweet but with a more contemporary, lighter approach. It is juicy and addictive. It connects with concepts related to play and flirting, with optimism and youth.

We can also find sweeter strawberry notes: milkshakes, ice creams, lollipops… In this case, they take us to sensations connected with childhood, nostalgia, and comfort.

Strawberry in current perfumery

Depending on how strawberry is treated in a composition, we can encounter very different fragrances:

• Realistic strawberry: usually with a green note that evokes the smell of fresh strawberry, rather than its use in desserts.

• Floral strawberry: floral notes combine very well with strawberry in refined feminine fragrances (gardenia, jasmine, orange blossom).

• Dark strawberry: in nighttime perfumes, strawberries are darkened with incense, leather, woods, or patchouli.

The strawberry is classified within the neogourmand trend. It is associated with something edible and sweet but on a healthier level.
