Maraschino Cherry

About

Maraschino Cherry smells like bright, candied cherry syrup with a juicy-tart pop and a subtle almond-liqueur facet from the cherry pit, recalling neon cocktail cherries, soda fountains, and dessert toppings; it can carry a playful sweetness with a lightly medicinal edge. In perfumery it adds gourmand sparkle or boozy richness to fruity florals, gourmands, and ambers; typically constructed from benzaldehyde, heliotropin, fruity esters, and vanillic/almond materials, then rounded with vanilla or tonka and balanced by woods, spices, or musks to keep the “cough-syrup” vibe in check.
