If you’re looking for a juicy, sweet, and utterly irresistible fragrance, then it might be time to consider a berry perfume. Keep reading to learn about the benefits of berry scents as well as our top four favorite berry perfumes.
Why Choose a Berry Perfume?
At Snif, we believe that all fragrances are for everyone, all the time. That said, it’s true that certain smells tend to be associated with seasons or different times of year ( like pine for Christmas and pumpkin for autumn), and berries are no different.
Since berries tend to be in season from late spring through summer, berry fragrances are evocative of the time of year when the weather gets warmer, the days get longer, and jackets get shoved to the back of the closet.
For this reason, you can choose a berry fragrance to be your go-to for spring and summer or to capture a bit of the sweet playfulness of these seasons during the coldest days of winter.
Berry perfumes are also sometimes gourmand fragrances (a fancy way to say scents may remind you of your favorite baked good or sweet treat). If you’re known for your sweet tooth, a berry perfume might be ideal.
Best Berry Perfumes
Now that you have an idea of when and why to wear a berry scent, it’s time to take a look at our berry perfume hall of fame.
1. Berry Styles
First up on the list is our ode to the beauty of berries: our Berry Styles Body Mist.
This fruity, woody mist brings together blueberry, raspberry, lime, blue freesia, vanilla, and creamy woods. The result is a berry-forward fragrance that will help you channel the sweet vibes of summer all year long.
2. Tart Deco
For those who like to live on the juicer, more daring side, we recommend Tart Deco. A sophisticated take on a cherry perfume, this scent combines black cherry, rose, jasmine, birchwood, vetiver, and vanilla.
3. Rose Era
Not just your average rose fragrance, Rose Era takes a classic floral fragrance note and makes it modern.
With rose, strawberry, clean laundry accord, ambrette seeds, white moss, saffron, and sandalwood, Rose Era offers a delicate, understated approach to a fruity, floral fragrance.
4. Crumb Couture
There’s no reason the smell of your favorite baked goods should be reserved for only your local pastry shop.
With Crumb Couture, the delicious smell of a freshly baked croissant is blended with wild berry jam, black currant, toasted vanilla, tonka bean, and sandalwood.
The Berry Best
When you’re looking for a delicious-smelling berry perfume, try one of the four mentioned on our favorites list. With just a spritz or two, you’ll smell as good as a blueberry bush in July or your favorite black currant jam, spread on a freshly-baked croissant.
