Raspberry Note.

[kosui no kaori]

I am not a huge fruit-based fragrance person, but this has been lingering on my mind for quite some time.

As a pre-teen, I used to drown myself in a body mist - specifically, Raspberry Body Fantasies (after a quick Google search, I was surprised to find out that this line still exists).

I have no desire to smell like my sixth-grade self, but I am wondering if there’s an adult way to indulge in the nostalgia.

Are there any recommended perfumes with raspberry in the notes?

l too am not overly fond of fruity fragrances (except for citrus & fig), but l'm not averse to a nice raspberry note.

lmpossible lris by Ramon Monegal is a bright, cheerful spring floral with a lovely raspberry note.

Thank you!

I’ll look this one up right away.

My favourite has got to be Tauer's Une Rose Vermeille: jammy, decorous, grown up - yet bright.

Of more recent masculines, Montblanc Individuel. Great raspberry note. Beautiful. Like a lighter, more wearable Joop!

One I enjoy is Framboise & Menthe Poivrée by Yves Rocher.

I've come to really like Histoires de Parfums' Fidelis, but it's definitely one to try before you buy. It's basically a rose/oud grafted onto a light gourmand, with notes of coffee, saffron, and bright red raspberry alongside the usual rose, fake oud, patchouli, and amber notes in the base. The raspberry turns out to be the dominant note to my nose, but there's a lot happening under the hood. This took me a few wears to appreciate - first few wears didn't go so well - but something kept me coming back, and I've really enjoyed my sample. Now it lives on my rainy day wishlist

Have you tried Masque Milano Russian Tea?

So far enjoyed the most among the fragrances with this particular note mainly but not exclusively, in otherwise no further order:

Rasasi La Yuqawam Homme, certain aspects of Tuscan Leather, Nonchalance by Mäurer & Wirtz, Rochas Man, On El by J del Pozo, POAL by Frederic Malle, l'Erbolario Acqua di More EDP, Jaguar Classic Red, l'Occitane Cerisier Rouge, Hermes Eau de Rhubarbe Ecarlate.

And while individual tastes may vary and even more so gender versatility of the ones among the aforementioned rated as masculine/unisex, still pleased enough with each to recommend some additional (re) testing of each.

For your love by Mizensir

Yes, it has a hint of BR540 about it, but the clean raspberry note is lovely. I loved the stuff before my daughter stole mine

Framboise Noir by Shay & Blue has a wonderful black raspberry note with a licorice vibe to it. It is unisex and I really enjoy it a lot...my favorite from this line.

Ombré Leather, perhaps?

Tuscan Leather by Tom Ford also has a prominent raspberry note.

How about Guerlain My Insolence and Givenchy Hot Couture?

 

[showpony]

I’m not sure if you’ve tried LV Mille Feux. It’s light, supple leather, raspberry, osmanthus, iris and saffron. My daughter gave It to me for Mother’s Day a few years ago.

 

[kosui no kaori]

I had no idea that I had gotten additional suggestions - my apologies!

Thank you all so much for the input - I can’t wait to find my “adult” raspberry 😁

Sounds right up my alley!

Indeed! 😳

I’m wildly curious, though - even more so since it’s made its way on to your wishlist.

I have not!

Off to Google I go …

Wow, what a selection!

Thank you, Ken Russell - this is further proof that I need to get that Rhubarbe.

No excuses! I’m on it.

This sounds really dark and interesting!

You’re absolutely right about My Insolence, I’d forgotten about that one. I’ll have to read up on Hot Couture!

This sounds lovely - I’ll look into it, thank you!

What a sweet gift ❤️

I'm getting a huge raspberry note in the old Missoni feminine, but in a classical and a bit old school chypre context.

 

[donna255]

Agree Shay & Blue Framboise Noir very dark. I bought it blind and it came as a shock to me.

Do you enjoy wearing it?

Do you enjoy wearing it?

Yes, I do. And I am not a fruit fan in perfume.
