About blackberry
Blackberry as a fragrance note embodies the essence of summer with its rich, juicy, and slightly tart profile. This note captures the complexity of the ripe fruit, offering a multifaceted olfactory experience that ranges from sweet and succulent to subtly tart and earthy. In perfumery, blackberry is often used to introduce a burst of freshness and a natural fruity sweetness that can balance both floral and woody compositions. Its versatility allows it to enhance the top or heart notes of a fragrance, adding depth and a touch of nature's bounty. The note's ability to evoke memories of late summer days and the pleasure of picking ripe berries makes it a cherished ingredient in the creation of memorable and evocative scents.

Perfumer's Tips
Blackberry note is typically used to add a sweet, fruity freshness to fragrances, often in combination with other fruity or floral notes to create a rounded, multi-dimensional scent. It works best in the top or heart notes, where its vibrant character can shine without overpowering the composition. Moderation is key, as too much can lead to an overly sweet or artificial aroma.
