Raspberry Base
Premium Base Ingredient for Perfumery
Raspberry Base is a synthetic fragrance base developed to emulate the juicy, sweet-tart character of fresh raspberries. Its olfactory profile blends bright berry top notes with soft floral undertones and subtle green nuances, replicating the vibrancy and texture of raspberry pulp and skin. This base functions primarily as a top note booster in fruity, floral, and gourmand compositions, offering a vivid and youthful character ideal for modern fragrance formulations.

What is Raspberry Base?
Raspberry Base is a synthetic perfumery compound formulated to mimic the natural scent of ripe raspberries. Constructed from esters, berry aldehydes, and trace ketones, it captures the tart-sweet balance and vibrant character typical of fresh raspberry fruit. Common aroma chemicals in raspberry-type bases include raspberry ketone (frambinone), ethyl maltol, and green-fruity esters like hexyl acetate.
Unlike natural raspberry extracts—often unstable or unsuitable for perfumery use—this base provides reproducibility and controlled performance in alcohol-based and oil-based systems.
Olfactory Profile and Perfumery Applications
Raspberry Base introduces a bright, tangy sweetness at the top of the fragrance, supported by faint floral and green backnotes. Typical uses include:
Fruity-floral perfumes, especially in blends with peony, rose, or violet
Gourmand compositions, where it supports red fruit and sugar-berry themes
Youth-oriented and energetic fragrances, offering a playful, vibrant signature
Body care products, such as mists, lotions, and shampoos with berry-forward identity
Its high-impact fruity top note is often softened with creamy or musky materials to extend longevity and smooth transitions into heart notes.
Additional Information
Blending Suggestions:
Pairs well with blackberry base, ethyl maltol, peach aldehyde, ionones, and heliotrope. Can be contrasted with green or aldehydic materials for sparkle, or layered with lactonic bases for a jammy, dessert-like effect.
Application Compatibility:
Soluble in alcohol and perfume oils. Suitable for fine fragrance, light emulsions, and scented body products.
