Character
The Story of Strawberry Syrup
Strawberry Syrup captures the ripened sweetness of sun-warmed berries at peak season—a rich, jammy accord that brings gourmand warmth to fragrance compositions.
Heritage
Strawberry occupies a relatively modern place in perfumery compared to ancient ingredients like myrrh or rose. Ancient Egyptians and Romans consumed strawberries medicinally and as food, but never extracted them for fragrance. The note entered perfumery as part of the fruity explosion in late 20th century fragrance. The 1992 launch of Angel by Thierry Mugler fundamentally changed perception—here was a luxury women's fragrance built around an edible, almost confectionery strawberry accord. This opened doors for playful, gourmand compositions across the market. Today, Strawberry Syrup appears routinely in contemporary fruity, oriential-fruity, and chypre constructions seeking warmth and accessibility.
