Fragrance note
Cherry Perfumes
A cherry perfume is a fragrance in which cherry plays the lead in the top or heart notes – juicy and fruity, gourmand or as dark as liqueur. Because the fruit itself yields no fragrance oil, every cherry note is a composition, usually built around the molecule benzaldehyde.

Knowledge to share
Myth or truth?
Statement 1
The cherry scent comes from the flesh of the fruit.
Myth. The defining molecule, benzaldehyde, forms from amygdalin, which sits in the stones – not in the flesh.
Statement 2
Cherry and bitter almond share the same scent molecule.
True. Both owe their typical scent mainly to benzaldehyde (C₇H₆O).
Statement 3
There is natural cherry oil for perfumes.
Myth. Cherries yield no usable essential oil; every cherry note is a composed accord.

Is there a natural cherry oil for perfumes?
No. Cherries do not yield a usable essential oil. The note is created as an accord, usually built around benzaldehyde and rounded off with floral, almond-like or balsamic elements.
Does a cherry perfume always smell sweet?
Not necessarily. Paired with pepper, saffron, rose or woods, cherry feels spicy, elegant and grown-up. How sweet a fragrance ends up is decided mainly by its base.
When should I wear a cherry fragrance?
Bright, fruity versions by day and in spring; dark cherry with vanilla, tobacco or leather on cool evenings. It is best to test it on your own skin: with every bottle from 30 ml, we include a 2 ml sample of the same fragrance.
