Scent

Faint, rosy-green, with a whisper of berry sweetness that hasn't yet arrived. Lighter than rose, greener, less defined. A pre-fruit florality — delicate, spring-coded, promising but not delivering sweetness.

Almost vanishes — faint green-sweet trace

The Full Story

Raspberry blossom (Rubus idaeus) produces small white flowers with minimal fragrance. As a Rosaceae member, there is a faint rosy quality, a green freshness, and the suggestion of fruit to come.

No extraction exists. The fantasy accord targets the blossom-to-berry transition: light rose-adjacent florality with a nascent fruity sweetness. Built from phenylethyl alcohol (rose), green leaf notes, and a trace of raspberry ketone for fruit suggestion.

The note functions in fruity-floral and garden compositions where the full raspberry fruit note would be too sweet or obvious.

This note in Première Peau. Nuit Elastique · Rose Monotone. Sample all seven extraits in the Discovery Set.

Raspberry ketone (4-(4-hydroxyphenyl)butan-2-one), the molecule that gives raspberries their characteristic aroma, occurs naturally at only 1-4 mg per kg of fresh fruit. Synthetic raspberry ketone costs approximately 99% less than natural extraction.
