About blackcurrant nectar

Blackcurrant nectar, as a top note in perfumery, offers a distinct, vividly fruity character that captures the essence of fresh blackcurrants. Its profile is rich and tangy, with a slightly sweet and sour aroma that is both refreshing and invigorating. Originating from the natural essence of blackcurrant berries, this note is celebrated for its ability to add depth and a burst of freshness to a fragrance. In perfumery, it's often utilized to introduce a lively, fruity opening that evolves gracefully into the heart of the composition. Blackcurrant nectar is valued for its unique balance of sweetness with a tart, almost wine-like quality, making it a versatile component in both feminine and masculine scents.

Perfumer's Tips

Use sparingly as a top note to introduce a vibrant, fruity freshness to the fragrance. It pairs well with floral and woody notes to create a well-rounded and complex scent. Adjust the concentration according to the desired intensity and longevity of the blackcurrant note in the final fragrance.
