Whenever summer comes along, I start craving strawberries. The scent of fresh, sweet, aromatic, and juicy strawberries brings back so many memories for me. Smelling a strawberry note in a perfume never fails to uplift my mood and makes me crave strawberry shortcake. If you feel the same way I do about strawberries, then you’ll enjoy this listicle of fragrances featuring a strawberry note.
1. Marc Jacobs Daisy Eau So Intense EDP
| Highlights | Details |
|---|---|
| Brand | Marc Jacobs |
| Best for | Women |
| Fragrance Family | Amber Floral |
| Notes | Top: Strawberry, Pear, and Bergamot Middle: Honey, Jasmine, and Rose Base: Musk, Vanilla, Benzoin, and Moss |
| Release year | 2021 |
| Perfumer | Alberto Morillas |
Daisy Eau So Intense, the eau de parfum version, carries a strawberry note in the opening. This note sets the tone for the entire fragrance. If you’re looking for a winter-appropriate fragrance from the Daisy line, I would recommend this. It is a sweet fragrance, but it leans warm. If you expect to find a light fragrance like the majority of this line, you might not want to reach for this.
2. Dior Miss Dior Cherie EDP
| Highlights | Details |
|---|---|
| Brand | Dior |
| Best for | Women |
| Fragrance Family | Chypre Fruity |
| Notes | Top: Strawberry and Mandarin Orange Middle: Rose and Jasmine Base: Patchouli, Sandalwood, Amber, oak moss and Vetiver |
| Release year | 2011 |
| Perfumer | François Demachy |
Miss Dior Chérie is what the experts would call a fruitchouli, a fragrance with a dominant blend of fruit (strawberry in this case) and patchouli. This is a versatile fragrance that I find very suitable for younger women, especially those in their early to mid-twenties. It is fun and unique, unlike anything I’ve tried so far in the Miss Dior line.
PS: This fragrance has unfortunately been discontinued and is hard to find in the market.
3. Burberry Her Elixir EDP
| Highlights | Details |
|---|---|
| Brand | Burberry |
| Best for | Women |
| Fragrance Family | Fruity |
| Notes | Top: Strawberry and Blackberry Middle: Jasmine Base: Vanilla, Amber, and Sandalwood |
| Release year | 2022 |
| Perfumer | Jérôme di Marino and Maïa Lernout |
Moving on to a personal favourite, Burberry Her Elixir is my top flanker from the Her line and happens to have a lovely, prominent strawberry note. The overall fragrance smells like a yummy strawberry milkshake and is reminiscent of baking a strawberry pie in your small apartment in a big city. The perfect Taurus fragrance.
4. Armaf Odyssey Candee EDP
| Highlights | Details |
|---|---|
| Brand | Armaf |
| Best for | Women |
| Fragrance Family | Fruity |
| Notes | Top: Strawberry, Raspberry, Geranium, Peach, and Bergamot Middle: Caramel, Jasmine, and Passionfruit Base: Patchouli, Musk, and Amber |
| Release year | 2024 |
| Perfumer | In-house Perfumer |
Easily the sweetest and most fun option on the list, some might even call Odyssey Candee a bit juvenile, but we don’t care! It is an affordable sugar bomb packed with incredibly sweet, fruity notes. This is a true gourmand through and through. If you’re looking to satisfy a major sugar craving but don’t want to spend much, you have to give this one a try.
5. Armani Si Passione Red Musk EDP
| Highlights | Details |
|---|---|
| Brand | Armani |
| Best for | Women |
| Fragrance Family | Floral Fruity |
| Notes | Top: Strawberry and Musk Middle: Rose and Milk Base: Musk and Vanilla |
| Release year | 2025 |
| Perfumer | In-house Perfumer |
To finish on a more mature note, we’re wrapping up the list with Si Passione Red Musk. While the strawberry note is certainly present, its sweetness is beautifully mellowed by a blend of rose and milk. Finally, the musk adds a touch of warmth, creating an incredibly smooth and grounded aroma overall.
