Blackcurrant Bud Resinoid

Original designation: Bourgeon de Cassis RDE

Ribes nigrum L.

Blackcurrant bud is one of perfumery's beautiful provocations: juicy cassis, green leaf and a sulfurous, almost animal flash. In resinoid form the fruit darkens and clings, giving a composition pulse and ambiguity.

At the perfumer’s organ

In the organ, use it to build cassis accords, enrich rose-fruit contrast and introduce green chypres. As base note, it offers signature rather than mere theme.

  • cassis accords
  • rose-fruit contrast
  • green chypres
  • animalic fruit effects

Extraction & expression

A resinoid is generally obtained by solvent extraction of dry botanical matter, gums, balsams or resins. It emphasises the low, enveloping register: balsamic warmth, texture and slow diffusion.
