Blackcurrant Flowers

Blackcurrant flowers offer a delicate, fresh, and subtly fruity floral note to perfumes, distinct from the deep, tangy scent of the fruit itself. Their aroma is light, green, and slightly sweet, adding a natural and airy touch to fragrances. Blackcurrant flowers are often used as a heart or top note, contributing a gentle, uplifting quality that pairs well with other florals, citrus, and green notes. This note brings a hint of youthful vibrancy and freshness to both modern and classic compositions.

History & Production: The blackcurrant plant (Ribes nigrum) is native to Europe and parts of Asia and has long been valued for both its fruit and its aromatic blossoms. While blackcurrant fruit is commonly used in culinary and fragrance applications, the essence of the flowers is less common and is typically recreated synthetically or through blending with other floral and green notes. Blackcurrant flowers are prized for adding a unique, fresh, and slightly fruity-floral element to perfumes, enhancing their overall complexity and brightness.
