Blackcurrant Bud

Blackcurrant bud absolute is one of the most distinctive and powerful ingredients in perfumery. Extracted from the buds of the blackcurrant bush rather than the fruit, this material has a sharp, catty, and intensely green-fruity character with sulfurous undertones.

In small doses, it creates a vibrant, electrifying spark that lifts and energizes floral compositions. Blackcurrant bud is famous for its use in classic French feminine perfumery, where it adds a sophisticated fruity-green accent to rose and other florals.

The note pairs beautifully with rose, peach, jasmine, and green notes. Despite its challenging raw character, blackcurrant bud is a secret weapon used by many great perfumers.
