Juniper is a conifer in the cypress family, known in Japanese as seiyō-nezu. Its round berries are smaller than blueberries and take about two to three years to ripen from green to black before they are harvested. The essential oil is then obtained by steam distillation.
Its scent is aromatic, slightly bitter, fresh, and sharp.
All gin is flavored with juniper, and its name also derives from juniper: it was called genever in and around the Netherlands, becoming gin in Britain.
What Does It Smell Like in Perfume?
Juniper berry essential oil is a natural fragrance material obtained by steam-distilling the berries. In perfume, its sparkling, gin-like freshness brings coniferous green notes and a peppery dryness, sharpening an aromatic composition. Rectified grades can also unfold from gin-like, green coniferous top notes into a quieter woody, resinous background. It is used in the heart of fougère and aromatic fragrances as well, combining the brightness of the berry oil with woody depth.
