About cranberry
Cranberry as a fragrance note captures the essence of the fruit's distinctively sharp yet sweet aroma. This note is characterized by its vibrant, tart freshness, intertwined with a subtle sweetness, making it a popular choice for adding a lively, fruity twist to fragrances. Cranberries have a unique olfactory profile that can range from fresh and tangy to slightly bitter, depending on their concentration and the composition of the fragrance. This versatility makes cranberry a cherished note in the creation of perfumes, particularly in compositions aiming to evoke freshness, energy, and the crispness of autumn. In perfumery, cranberry is often utilized to introduce a sparkling top note that can cut through heavier, more opulent base notes, or to add complexity to the heart of a fragrance, where its fruity yet tart character can shine.

Perfumer's Tips
Cranberry is best used sparingly to introduce a bright, fruity accent without overwhelming the composition. It pairs well with spicy and woody notes to create a balanced, multi-dimensional fragrance. Consider using cranberry to add a touch of freshness to autumnal and winter scents, or to invigorate floral and citrus compositions with its unique tartness.
