Perfumes with Black Currant
Black currant, often called cassis, smells tart, juicy, green and slightly sulfurous, combining crushed dark berries with the sharp, faintly catty tone of the leaves and buds. The extract used in perfumery comes from the buds of Ribes nigrum, with Burgundy in France a known source.
An absolute is obtained from the buds by solvent extraction, and the note is often reinforced with synthetic molecules. Black currant mostly sits among the top notes, giving the opening a lively, tangy lift. It pairs well with rose, violet, peony, bergamot, patchouli, musk and oakmoss.
Black Currant appears in 5,217 perfumes in the Fisfis catalogue and is used mostly as a top note.
