The Story of Wild Strawberry
Wild Strawberry captures the bright, sun-ripened sweetness of berries plucked straight from the vine. Its juicy, youthful aroma brings immediate freshness and warmth to fragrance top notes, lending a playful, irresistible quality to fruity compositions.
Heritage
The wild strawberry's scientific heritage traces to the mid-16th century, when German botanist Hieronymus Bock assigned its Latin name. Romans consumed strawberries as early as Antiquity, treasured as both food and natural remedy. Europeans and Indigenous Americans each developed their own relationship with the fruit, which grows wild across meadows and forest clearings from Scandinavia to the Mediterranean and beyond. By the 14th century, deliberate cultivation began, yet wild strawberries remained a foraged luxury prized for their concentrated sweetness and aromatic intensity compared to their larger cultivated cousins.
