Natural or Synthetic?
Raspberry oil is not commercially available due to the difficulty in extracting it from the fruit. The fruit has a low oil content and is delicate, making extraction challenging and expensive. As a result, synthetic raspberry fragrance compounds are used in modern perfumes to replicate the fruit's sweet, fruity, and slightly nutty scent.Raspberry fragrance compounds are typically synthesized from a variety of chemicals, including esters, lactones, and aldehydes. These compounds are combined to create a blend that closely resembles the aroma of raspberry. They are often used in perfumes to add a touch of sweetness, fruitiness, and gourmand notes.Natural raspberry absolute can be extracted from the fruit using solvent extraction. However, natural raspberry absolute is still relatively expensive compared to synthetic raspberry fragrance compounds, and it is not as widely available. As a result, synthetic raspberry fragrance compounds are more commonly used in modern perfumes.
