About strawberry
Strawberry as a fragrance note captures the lush, ripe essence of the fruit, offering a sweet, slightly tart, and distinctly juicy profile that is both refreshing and comforting. In perfumery, it belongs to the fruity category, bringing a playful, youthful, and vibrant character to compositions. This note can vary from the realistic scent of fresh-picked strawberries to a more candied, fantasy interpretation, depending on its combination with other notes and the desired effect in the fragrance. It's often used to add a burst of sweetness and to enhance the fruity facet of floral or gourmand perfumes, making them more appealing and multifaceted. Strawberries have a unique olfactory profile that is not only about sweetness but also carries a subtle green, almost leafy nuance, which can lend an interesting depth and contrast to fragrances.

Perfumer's Tips
Strawberry notes are typically used in moderation to impart a sweet, fruity accent without overwhelming the composition. They work exceptionally well in the top to middle notes of a fragrance, introducing a playful and appetizing opening. Pairing with vanilla or musk can enhance its gourmand qualities, while combining with citrus or floral notes can create a more sophisticated, multi-dimensional scent.
