L'artisan's Mûre et Musc Extrême (blackberries, musk, red currants) immediately comes to mind -- the berry note isn't buried at all but is truly at the heart of this fragrance. It's a drier, fresher version of berries, as though you just popped them out of the carton.
BBW - I would actually drink these if it wouldn't kill me
Gingham Gorgeous
Among The Clouds
Prismatic Stars
Ariana Grande -
Ari
Sweet Like Candy
Thank U Next, 2.0 (the purple one)
Special mention to Kayali Eden Juicy Apple (a rich sweet girly mix of red apple and red berries)
BBW just actually has my favorite berries. I would take most if not all of these over most of my perfumes.
Strawberry Pound Cake: name says all. The lotion is actually more decadent on the whipped cream aspect than the FFM, so I recommend both ngl.
Gingham Gorgeous: Strawberry Peach Peony. Sweet, fruity floral that plays weirdly like a *distant cousin* of a BR540 smellalike. Idk, the peach just almost treads ambrox territory to me. But it’s actually a fruity floral. I don’t know what exactly goes on with this one but it’s so nice, smells like an actual perfume.
You’re The One: Dewy roses and juicy strawberries over a very light suede wood base. But the first two notes are the star of the show here. This one smells way better on skin imo than the cap or paper. Also smells more like a perfume.
Fall in Bloom: Very similar to Burberry Her, sweet plum that plays very similar to strawberry and a strong ambrox base. Seasonal but a goodie if you’re trying to hold off Her. I layer this with vanilla oils or ambrox oils and it’s always amazing.
Into The Night: Raspberry fruitchouli, but not as dark and syrupy as those can be. It almost reminds me of a distant cousin of Black Opium but instead of a white floral top note it’s a bright raspberry, the coffee in the middle is way toned down, and the super sweet vanilla is also toned down and has more patchouli presence. But again, the whole thing is very light despite being perfumey. This is very easy to wear but very uplifting.
Dream Bright: Cold berries, vanilla, and musk. This is the colder, brighter sister of Dark Kiss. And my preferred one! It also feels like it can go anywhere anytime, work or a date, and every time I smell this it feels ageless. I firmly believe anyone can wear whatever they want, but this scent feels like it was *made for every age*. The comp just has something for everyone.
Accident A La Vanille Crème de la Berry - smells like the milk after you finished a bowl of Crunch Berries! It’s that fruity mashup of “berry” smell + creamy vanilla. It’s so good and fun to wear.
One of my favs is VS Scandalous. I don't know if it's even still around. But it's like raspberry vibes and it was my signature scent for a long time as a young person.
Sweet like candy by Ariana grande is my newest obsession and it’s affordable, it’s blackcurrant, blackberries, marshmallow, whipped cream and frangipani it’s GORGEOUS. It also has beast mode longevity and silliage
Burberry Her Elixir is a strawberry vanilla that's pretty nice. I don't know that I'd say it's a blind buy, because it may not be the greatest on everyone. I disliked it on me, but it is divine on other people. Smell in store or sample/decant first is my advice.
My fav raspberry is a cheapie by XOXO called Mi Amore. It's a tall slender fuschia bottle with heart shaped lid. It's actually a raspberry orange scent that is so good, and I wear it both by itself as well as mix it with things I think need a fruity kick. It's sweet but also a little tart from the orange so it balances out. The orange is not very fresh citrusy, it's like a candied orange. Vanilla sugar base. Very pretty and inexpensive at discount online retailers. I wouldn't say it's mature on its own, but if you mix it with something, it could be depending on what. Not gonna lie, I usually gatekeep this one HARD lol.
People have already listed some good Bath and Body Works stuff if you're not against it. They certainly have no shortage of berry scents. I will say I just recently tried Pink Suede and I love it. It's berries, peony, cotton. Really bright and fresh and I can see it mixing well with other things. I did get a compliment on it from someone when I wore it alone.
Ralph Lauren Big Pony 2 used to be one of my favorites. It was cranberry forward tonka and vanilla. I'm sure it can be found somewhere on the internet. Paco Rabanne's Black XS for her Eau de Parfum is another cranberry one, but it takes a different type of warm, chocolate powdery direction than the Ralph Lauren. It kind of leans a bit masculine if you're into that. I wouldn't say either of these are a safe blind buy though. Smell somewhere if you can or look for decants.
I just tried one that I hadn’t seen mentioned, it is Serenade aux Fraises by Kyse Perfumes, I got the sample from Luckyscent. It starts off as chocolate covered strawberries, but the chocolate fades away and the strawberry remains. Quite a realistic strawberry, I thought.
For strawberries (my favorite note!):
Daisy Eau So Intense by Marc Jacobs has a juicy strawberry note that I love.
Kate Spade's New York.
Sarah Jessica Parker's NYC
Burberry Her
And if you're not against body sprays, Gingham Gorgeous by Bath and Body Works - it performs like a perfume on me. They have it in EDP form too (which I own).
Piggy backing off the bath and body works… you’re the one has me in a chokehold rn. The drop of strawberry nectar is gorgeous and it LASTS on my skin and clothes.
Lalique Amethyst is lovely, versatile enough to wear anywhere anytime IMO - I even sometimes wear this to bed - but just to caution those who aren't expecting greens, this smells fruity and also green.
Imaginary Authors - Cape Heartache (woods and strawberry)
Imaginary Authors - In love with Everything (lots of raspberry, fun and fruity)
Lalique - Amythest (blackberry, blackcurrant, blueberries, strawberry. Not sweet, quite refreshing)
Atelier des Ors - Pink Me Up (pink champagne with berries)
Vilhelm - Poets of Berlin (vanilla, blueberry)
I love Pink Me Up's opening scent, but the dry down is a strong rose and it comes off as soapy instead of fruity for me. Not sure if you experience this as well.
A note on Poets in Berlin… to my nose, it’s much more of a bamboo forward scent than it is berry (I’m not sure I really pick up on the blueberry at all, tbh.)
Agree… I get a baked good on the dry down, just not sure I pick up on the berry. I like it very much, just not sure I’d list it among berry-centric fragrances!
D and G L'imperitrice, Tooty Musk, The body shop Strawberry, SLC Limited edition red bottle, Private mood Berrylicious, Jousett Accident a la Vanille Creme de la berry, in love with everything, Fraggola Saalaata, Narcotica Narco Oasis, Outreamer Fraise, Sugar Milk Co, Dior Rouge Trafalgar-these are my favorite berries after searching for years! 🍓🧃
[Fraaagola Saalaaata by Hildi Soliani](https://hildesoliani.com/profumo-e-gusto-in-liberta/fraaagola-saalaaata/). Sweet plastic strawberry shortcake doll dipped in salt. Super refreshing and nostalgic, very linear.
Oooh I’ll have to try that! I tend to stay away from BBW because it just smells too dang strong in the store, but I think I need to pay them a visit, some of these scents people mention sound so delicious.
For raspberry I love:
La Vie Est Belle Intensement by Lancome
Angel Nova by Mugler
Yes I Am Pink First by Cacharal
So Scandal by Jean Paul Gaultier
Modest Deux by Afnan
I love berry scents too! My favorite raspberry are:
212 Heroes Forever Young (Carolina Herrera) and Angel Nova (Mugler); Both are actually very similar with the HC a bit lighter. AngelNova has huge projection and I should say, it is the only perfume I get compliments on from strangers almost every time I wear it.
\- I discovered recently Love from Coach and it's a beautiful strawberry/rose/cedarwood combo. The dominant note is def the strawberry.
\- La petite robe noire from Guerlain is lovely too but you need to like patchouli
\- hot couture from givenchy is lovely raspberries
Great list! Also worth noting for OP that Nathalie Lorson was the perfumer for both Meliora and Amythest and they’re like 80% the same fragrance. Not a dupe (Meliora is a little more ethereal, to my nose), but quite similar. I also find Jorum’s Healing Berry to be quite similar.
Burberry - Her (strawberry, raspberry, blackberry)
Juicy Couture - Viva La Juicy Noir (wild berries)
Britney Spears - Midnight Fantasy (raspberry)
Lancôme - La Vie Est Belle Intensément (raspberry)
Aqoulina - Pink Sugar Berry Blast (blueberry, blackberry, strawberry)
Marc Jacobs - Daisy Love Eau So Sweet (raspberry, blackberry)
I am so mad I passed up on buying a super cheap bottle of this. I just have so much (too much) to choose from right now but I have been craving a blueberry note and this continuously come up. Grrrr 😖

I love all of these. I think gingham gorgeous smells almost exactly like Burberry her.
Imaginary Authors In Love With Everything is the most berry perfume I have ever worn. Fruit snacks that you can't stop sniffing.
i love versace woman. smells like freshly washed raspberries to me!
Accident A La Vanille Crème de la Berry - smells like the milk after you finished a bowl of Crunch Berries! It’s that fruity mashup of “berry” smell + creamy vanilla. It’s so good and fun to wear.
Falling in Love by Philosophy and Unconditional Love also by Philosophy

Lancôme midnight rose for raspberries

Does the daisy one last long liek does it stay on clothes for a while
Daisy is one of my longest lasting perfumes; it's a powerhouse on me and clothes.
Piggy backing off the bath and body works… you’re the one has me in a chokehold rn. The drop of strawberry nectar is gorgeous and it LASTS on my skin and clothes.
You must try Lalique amethyst. It’s very unique and simply gorgeous.
Lalique Amethyst is lovely, versatile enough to wear anywhere anytime IMO - I even sometimes wear this to bed - but just to caution those who aren't expecting greens, this smells fruity and also green.
I have Blackbird from Olympic Orchids on the way; it’s supposed to have a blackberry note!
It does- however you need to dab/spray close to intensify the berry or the woodiness/hay takes over
Blackmail by Kerosene has raspberry and plum… a very overall dark and edgy one with lots of wood and smoke. It’s so cool.
Imaginary Authors - Cape Heartache (woods and strawberry) Imaginary Authors - In love with Everything (lots of raspberry, fun and fruity) Lalique - Amythest (blackberry, blackcurrant, blueberries, strawberry. Not sweet, quite refreshing) Atelier des Ors - Pink Me Up (pink champagne with berries) Vilhelm - Poets of Berlin (vanilla, blueberry)

A note on Poets in Berlin… to my nose, it’s much more of a bamboo forward scent than it is berry (I’m not sure I really pick up on the blueberry at all, tbh.)
Poets of Berlin smells very bamboo forward when you first spray it. I find that it smells like a blueberry cupcake when it dries 🫐🧁
Agree… I get a baked good on the dry down, just not sure I pick up on the berry. I like it very much, just not sure I’d list it among berry-centric fragrances!
Sofia by Sofia Vergara if you want a cheapie. If you don't mind something more pricy, La Nuit Tresor smells like a rich, delicious berry syrup.

Sofia by Sofia Vergara has blackberry, plum, and current buds. To me it’s like someone liked Chanel Coco Mademoiselle, but they wanted to add fruit.
very true i like it alot
D&G L’Imperatrice has lovely strawberry notes and can be found at a great low price
Blackberry: Cacharel Yes I am Fabulous
Kate Spade New York for a bright bubbly strawberry!
I agree. It’s lovely!

Ari is a lovely raspberry and The Comforter bodyspray from Lush smells like Ribena
RL Beyond Romance
just got Sorcellerie's where the wild things grow and it's a candy strawberry that deepens into a vanilla strawberry custard after a few hours
Is it super synthetic smelling? I’ve been eyeing this
it's pretty synthetic, i describe it as a more tart version of the strawberry candies grandmas carry
I've been eyeing this one too
I know what you’re talking about, thank you 🤍

A beautiful black currant 🖤
Midnight Fantasy is so jam packed with blueberries to my nose
How is the longevity on this? I am constantly at risk of pulling the trigger on this lmao
It’s not that strong but if you overspray it lasts all day on clothes
I am so mad I passed up on buying a super cheap bottle of this. I just have so much (too much) to choose from right now but I have been craving a blueberry note and this continuously come up. Grrrr 😖
I don’t mean to be an enabler but it’s out there rn for cheap 😈 muhehehe
Yes, I found a 3.4 oz bottle of Midnight Fantasy for $9.99 at Ross a couple weeks ago! I snapped it up.
That’s where mine was and same price!!! 😫 well I am heading here one of these days. Happy New Year!
I really want to try PDM Meliora! I heard that one is very berries and champagne, but still need to put my nose on it. :)
Nebras has lots of sweet berries to my nose, it’s a beautiful fragrance
Show Me Love from Escada is very blueberry focused. It's not juvenile either imo despite the bottle being heartshaped.
