About red berries
Red Berries as a fragrance note encapsulate the essence of various small, edible fruits, including raspberries, strawberries, red currants, and cherries, among others. This note is celebrated for its bright, juicy, and slightly tart characteristics, which can introduce a playful, youthful vibrancy to a fragrance. Often used in the top notes of perfumes, red berries provide an initial burst of freshness that can energize and uplift, setting the stage for a delightful olfactory journey. In perfumery, the red berries note is adept at balancing the depth of heavier base notes with its light, effervescent quality, making it a versatile choice for a wide range of fragrances, from floral and gourmand to oriental and woody compositions.

Perfumer's Tips
When using red berries in fragrance compositions, it's important to balance their sweetness and tartness with complementary notes. They are typically used in small quantities to introduce a fragrance with a bright, inviting opening. Consider the longevity of the berry notes and support them with middle and base notes that can sustain the initial burst of freshness throughout the wear.
