About white cherry
White cherry, as a top note in perfumery, offers a delicate and sweet aroma that captures the essence of cherry blossoms and the fruit's tender flesh. This note is distinguished by its lighter, more ethereal quality compared to the deeper, sometimes tangy scent of red cherries. It brings an uplifting freshness to fragrances, often used to introduce a playful, youthful element. While actual white cherries provide the inspiration, the note itself can be derived from both natural and synthetic sources, allowing perfumers to craft a range of interpretations from the purely fruity to more complex, floral-infused renditions.
Natural Sources
- •White Cherry Fruit
- •Cherry Blossoms
Synthetic Alternatives
Synthetic versions of white cherry are often created to mimic its light and delicate aroma, providing consistency and longevity not always present in natural extracts. These versions can also offer a cost-effective alternative for perfumers.
Perfumer's Tips
Use sparingly as a top note to introduce a fresh and sweet opening to the fragrance. It works well in light, spring and summer compositions, adding a delicate fruity-floral touch without overpowering the scent profile.
