History & Production: Redcurrant (Ribes rubrum) is a small berry native to Europe and prized for its tart, juicy flavor. In perfumery, redcurrant’s scent is typically recreated using synthetic accords or a blend of fruity and green notes, as direct extraction from the fruit is challenging. Redcurrant is valued for its ability to add a fresh, juicy sweetness that enhances the brightness and vivacity of fragrances, evoking a sense of youthful energy and natural vibrancy.
