Top/Heart Note
CAS#: mix
Manufacturer: Firmenich

Odor Description: fruity, juicy, fresh, tangy, green

Cassis Base 345 B is one of the most iconic perfume bases in history, created by Firmenich. It is widely recognized as the gold standard for capturing the aroma of blackcurrant and has played a key role in the success of many legendary fragrances.

This base offers an incredibly realistic, multi-dimensional aroma of blackcurrant fruits and leaves. It is characterized by:

• Juiciness: An intense, tart-sweet scent of ripe berries.

• Green Freshness: A distinct nuance of crushed blackcurrant leaves, which brings a sense of naturalness to any composition.

In perfumery, Cassis Base 345 B functions as a heart note, though its influence is noticeable from the very opening. It is valued for:

• Versatility: It fits perfectly into modern fruity scents, chypre fragrances, and as a complement to floral bouquets (especially rose).

• Support for Fruits: Even in minimal amounts, it can "revitalize" other fruity notes, making them appear more natural and less candy-like.
