Strawberry.
Ripe, sun-warmed sweetness. The bright first impression that makes people lean in.
Our read on the material, not a measurement.
What it smells like.
Strawberry is soft, ripe and unmistakably sweet, with a jammy warmth rather than a tart edge. It is the note people recognise fastest and the one that most often makes someone say they like a fragrance before they can say why.
In a blend it is a hook. It makes an opening warm and inviting and it flatters powdery florals like violet and iris. The risk is sweetness on sweetness: put it over caramel or cotton candy and the result smells like a dessert rather than a perfume. Give it something dry underneath and it behaves.
There is no strawberry oil; the fruit gives up nothing worth pressing. Every strawberry note in perfumery is an accord, assembled from sweet, green and jammy materials until it reads unmistakably as the fruit. That freedom is useful: ours is tuned ripe and sun-warm rather than candied.
In a blend.
The most immediately likeable note here, and the easiest to overdo. Strawberry reads young and sweet; with cotton candy or caramel it tips into confectionery.
