Cherries (PO)

Cherry is a versatile and beloved note in perfumery, offering both fruity sweetness and subtle refinement.

Here are some of the ways it is used in perfumery:

• Top Notes : Cherry is often used as a top note, giving an inviting freshness with its sweet and fresh aroma.
• Combination with floral scents : Cherry combines beautifully with floral notes such as jasmine, rose or violet, resulting in a balanced and elegant scent.
• Gourmand accents : In gourmand perfumes, cherry is combined with notes such as vanilla, almond or chocolate, creating a luxurious and seductive scent.
• Cherry Blossom : The soft, floral scent of cherry blossom is also popular, offering a delicate, airy scent with a hint of sweetness.

Cherry notes can range from playful and lively to warm and sophisticated depending on how they are combined.

The characteristic, recognizable smell of cherries is mainly due to the naturally occurring benzaldehyde in cherries. It is an organic compound that contributes to the characteristic almond-like aroma often associated with cherries, especially in cherry flavors and extracts. Benzaldehyde is also found in other fruits such as apricots and almonds, and plays an important role in creating the sweet and slightly nutty aroma profile of cherries.
