Field notes / 01
What does raspberry smell like?
Raspberry can feel fresh and tangy or deeper and jam-like. It is usually less green than blackcurrant and can have a soft powdery or violet-like nuance in perfume. That versatility makes it comfortable in both playful fruit accords and dark rose-wood compositions.

The material behind the impression
Raspberry effects are generally composed from aroma materials rather than a conventional berry essential oil. The note is a sensory reference, not evidence of fruit content. Perfumers can emphasise tartness, sweetness or soft floral facets separately.

Its place in the composition
Raspberry brings a bright edge to rose and a sweet counterpoint to incense or oud. Violet draws out a softer powdery side. The fruit often appears early, but supporting materials can make its impression continue well into the heart.
