What makes Framboise distinctive

How Framboise is used
Used to modify chypre notes and as a base for lipstick perfumes, according to its maker.
Typical role: modifier (used in small amounts to change the character of a blend).
How Framboise differs from similar materials
- Isobutyl Isovalerate
- Isobutyl isovalerate is a single light ester, apple and raspberry; Framboise is a whole ripe-raspberry base, valued by its maker for finesse and stability.
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.
