How is the cherry fragrance obtained?
Unlike natural citrus oils, cherries don’t yield their scent easily through distillation. Instead, perfumers recreate the aroma using accords – blends of natural extracts and aroma molecules that capture the fruit’s sweetness, tartness and depth. This gives them the freedom to highlight cherry’s many facets, from sugary to smoky.
