Berryflor

What Berryflor smells like

The Good Scents Company and ChemicalBook list Berryflor as a Givaudan material with a fruity, floral, raspberry-like odour with jasmine, anise and balsamic aspects. Fraterworks describes a soft fruity-floral aroma of ripe raspberry and jasmine with a fresh anisic lift and gentle balsamic warmth, and says traces soften floral accords. A Givaudan patent names ethyl 6-acetoxyhexanoate among its 6-hydroxyhexanoate fragrance ingredients.

What makes Berryflor distinctive

A raspberry that is also a jasmine: fruity and floral in one ester.

How Berryflor is used

Used as a modifier that softens florals and adds berry realism in fruity accords.

Typical role: modifier (used in small amounts to change the character of a blend); blender (smooths the joins between other materials).

How Berryflor differs from similar materials

Raspberry Ketone

Raspberry ketone is the sweet, jammy raspberry itself; Berryflor is a softer fruity-floral ester, raspberry with jasmine and an anisic lift.

Each difference compares the published descriptions of the two materials. Smell varies with grade, supplier and dilution; compare them side by side on blotters before substituting one for another.

Formulation considerations

Overdosed, it can turn a composition muddy, according to one supplier.
