Cherry
Cherry is a bright, juicy, and sweet note that adds a playful and deliciously fruity touch to fragrances. Its scent profile is rich and slightly tart, with a candy-like sweetness that evokes warmth and indulgence. Cherry lends a unique depth when used as a top or middle note, adding a lush, mouthwatering quality that captures attention. It pairs beautifully with almond, vanilla, florals, and spices, making it ideal for both gourmand and sophisticated compositions that want a hint of bold sweetness.
History & Production: Cherries have been enjoyed since ancient times, originally cultivated in Asia Minor before spreading across Europe and the world. In perfumery, the essence of cherry is often recreated synthetically, as the fruit itself does not produce a usable essential oil. This allows perfumers to capture the characteristic sweet-tart scent of cherries and enhance it for depth and versatility. The note has gained popularity in modern perfumery for its ability to evoke a sense of whimsy, nostalgia, and indulgent richness in both gourmand and floral-fruity fragrances.
