Description

Cassis Base is a distinctive blackcurrant-inspired fragrance base designed to reproduce the complex character of ripe cassis and blackcurrant buds.

It combines fruity, green, tart, juicy and slightly sulfurous facets, creating the characteristic vibrant and natural effect associated with cassis. Its green character can add freshness and realism, while its fruity side provides richness and depth.

Cassis Base is particularly valuable in fruity, floral, green, chypre and modern fine-fragrance compositions. It can transform simple fruit accords into more complex and natural-smelling creations.

Perfumers' Tip

Cassis Base is a powerful tool for creating a realistic blackcurrant effect. Use it with Raspberry Ketone and plum or berry accords for a rich dark-fruit character, or combine it with Violet Leaf and green materials to emphasize its fresh leafy side.

For an elegant floral composition, pair Cassis Base + Rose + Jasmine + Hedione. Bergamot and Grapefruit can brighten the opening, while Patchouli, Vetiver and Oakmoss create a sophisticated chypre-style foundation.

Because cassis materials can be extremely potent, start at trace levels and increase gradually during evaluation.

Product-page note: “Cassis Base” is a fragrance base/compound rather than a single aroma chemical, so its exact composition, odor strength, allergens and regulatory profile depend on the supplier's formulation. Always refer to the current supplier SDS, COA and IFRA documentation.
