A juicy note that feels vaguely floral: oscillating somewhere between violet and white flowers. It’s regressive—evoking sweet memories of summers spent picking fresh, sweet strawberries. Green facets mingle with red fruit.
Cultivated for their sweet taste, vibrant color and juicy texture, strawberries are adored the world over. The fruit derives from Fragaria—a genus of flowering plants in the rose family, Rosaceae. In perfumery, the scent of strawberry is recreated synthetically by combining different molecules.
Our earliest recorded obsession with this sweet little fruit dates back to Antiquity, where the Romans are detailed as having enjoyed strawberries for their taste, medicinal benefits, and scent (particularly when used in cosmetics). The formal cultivation of strawberries didn’t take place until the Renaissance period—up until then, we’d relied on wild strawberries or wood strawberries to appease our appetite.
