About red fruits
Red fruits as a fragrance note encompass a variety of sweet, tangy, and juicy fruits such as raspberries, strawberries, cherries, and red currants. This note is celebrated for its ability to add a bright, appetizing, and somewhat youthful freshness to fragrances. Originating from both natural fruit extracts and synthetic replicas, red fruits offer a versatile spectrum of scents that can range from candy-like sweetness to subtly tart freshness. They are commonly used in perfumery to impart a lively burst of sweetness in the top notes, often setting a playful and inviting tone for the fragrance.

Perfumer's Tips
Use sparingly as a top note to introduce a fragrance with a sweet, fresh, and inviting opening. Can be balanced with deeper base notes or complemented with floral and citrus notes for a more complex scent profile.
