Blackcurrant bud, also known as cassis bud, gives perfume a vivid green-fruity character with tart berry facets and a distinctive herbal, slightly pungent edge. It is more complex than a straightforward blackcurrant fruit note, adding freshness and definition while retaining a recognisable cassis impression.
In fragrance compositions, it often appears near the top or through the heart, where its brisk character can sharpen floral accords such as rose, jasmine and violet. Citrus notes make it brighter, while woods, mosses and musks give it a drier, more polished direction. Choose this note if you enjoy women's fragrances that combine juicy fruit with green clarity rather than soft, sugary sweetness.
