Strawberry Base
Premium Base Ingredient for Perfumery
Strawberry Base is a synthetic fragrance base formulated to replicate the scent of ripe, natural strawberries. With its balanced sweet and lightly tart character, it evokes the fresh juiciness of sun-ripened berries without becoming overly candy-like or artificial.

What is Strawberry Base?
Strawberry Base is a synthetic compound created by blending esters, fruity ketones, and supporting aroma chemicals to replicate the olfactory profile of fresh strawberries. Unlike flavor-type strawberry materials, this base is tailored for perfumery use, prioritizing naturalistic berry realism with controlled sweetness and moderate tenacity.
While methyl cinnamate, ethyl methylphenylglycidate (“strawberry aldehyde”), and lactones may be among the components used, the proprietary blend allows for greater balance and stability, avoiding excessive volatility or saccharine overload.
Its clean berry character makes it an excellent choice for creative builds around red fruit, floral-fruit blends, and sweet gourmand accords.
Olfactory Profile and Perfumery Applications
Strawberry Base contributes a realistic fruitiness that can be adjusted depending on the direction of the formula. Typical applications include:
Fruity perfumes: Adding freshness and playfulness
Gourmand accords: Supporting creamy or sugary structures like vanilla, milk, caramel
Floral blends: Especially with violet, jasmine, peony, or rose to create modern fruit-floral effects
Personal care scents: Works well in mists, shampoos, and scented lotions
It integrates smoothly with both natural and synthetic materials, helping stabilize fruity openings and contribute to olfactory roundness.
Additional Information
Blending Suggestions:
Pairs well with vanilla, coconut base, green apple, citrus aldehydes, and musk bases. It can be layered with lactonic materials for a more jammy profile, or brightened with citrus components for sparkling top notes.
Application Compatibility:
Compatible with ethanol and perfume oils; suitable for fine fragrance, body sprays, and emulsion-based body care.
