Field notes / 01
What does strawberry smell like?
Strawberry can be juicy, sweet and lightly tart, sometimes with a green calyx-like edge. A perfumer can make it feel freshly picked or more confectionery-like. Woods and musk can give the familiar fruit a softer, less candy-like finish.

The material behind the impression
Strawberry effects are generally reconstructed rather than made from a conventional fruit essential oil. The note is a smell reference, not a declaration of juice or edible flavouring. Different accords can emphasise green freshness, ripe fruit or sweet jam.

Its place in the composition
Strawberry brightens a berry-led opening and blends easily with raspberry or violet. Patchouli provides an earthy counterpoint below. It is useful for creating recognisable fruit character, but the heart and base determine whether the overall perfume feels playful, powdery or woody.
