boxwood berry fragrance

Boxwood berry fragrance is a distinctive aroma ingredient characterized by a green, fir needle-like odor with tropical and balsamic nuances. Known also by the synonym box wood berry fragrance, it contributes fresh, terpenic notes to various fragranced products. Its sensory profile combines elements reminiscent of green foliage, tropical fruits, and resins, creating a complex scent character valued in perfumery. This compound is not a single chemical entity with a CAS number but rather a defined fragrance accord or blend accessible via fragrance houses. It is typically sourced through synthetic formulation processes or extracted blends mimicking the natural scent of boxwood and berry-like components. The compound is indexed under structured vocabulary resources such as PubChem for descriptor reference within flavor and fragrance databases.

Boxwood berry fragrance does not occur naturally in a pure form but is designed to replicate certain green and tropical scent components characteristic of boxwood foliage combined with fruity berry notes. It finds use primarily in fragranced products of all types, including perfumes, colognes, shampoos, personal care products, and household items, providing fresh and balsamic character. Its compatibility with alcohol-based solvents facilitates easy incorporation into various formulations. Safety guidelines, such as those established by IFRA (Global), guide its usage concentrations to ensure consumer compatibility and prevent adverse sensory effects. Due to its complex odor profile, product designers and perfumers employ this fragrance to impart a naturalistic yet vibrant green aroma signature in scent blends.

The boxwood berry fragrance exhibits solubility in alcohol solvents while remaining insoluble in water, indicating a predominantly lipophilic nature. This property affects its behavior in formulations, favoring inclusion in alcohol-based products or emulsions rather than aqueous systems. Its vapor pressure and volatility parameters align with common fragrance ingredients that provide moderate persistence and diffusion. The green, terpene-like olfactory character suggests the presence of volatile organic compounds typified by terpenic structures. These traits influence not only formulation stability but also evaporation rates, impacting the sensory perception and longevity of fragrances containing this note. Overall, these physical and chemical properties help define appropriate delivery systems and blending strategies in fragrance design.
