About raspberry
Raspberry as a fragrance note captures the essence of the ripe, succulent fruit, offering a sweet, tangy, and sometimes slightly woody aroma that can add a delightful juiciness and freshness to a perfume composition. Its olfactory profile is complex, combining elements of sweetness with a subtle tartness, making it a versatile note that can enhance both fruity and floral accords. In perfumery, raspberry is often used to inject a burst of freshness and vitality into fragrances, lending a playful, youthful vibe that can range from subtly sweet to mouthwateringly tangy. This note can serve as a top or middle note, where it contributes to the fragrance's initial impression or adds depth and complexity to the heart of the composition. Its versatility allows it to be featured in a wide array of scents, from light, airy florals to deep, seductive gourmands.

Perfumer's Tips
When using raspberry in perfume compositions, it's best to balance its sweetness with tart or woody notes to prevent it from becoming overly cloying. It pairs well with floral and citrus notes to create vibrant, lively scents, or with vanilla and musk for a deeper, more sensual fragrance.
