Gooseberry
The note of gooseberry presents a vibrant, intensely tart, and distinctly green aroma, often described as a "green fruit" profile. It possesses a sharp, almost biting initial impression, reminiscent of unripe berries, with an underlying juicy and slightly watery quality. There's a characteristic tangy effervescence that can prickle the nose, sometimes carrying a subtle, intriguing "cat pee" or blackcurrant bud-like nuance (due to pyrazines and thiols), which adds a layer of complexity rather than being overtly animalic. Its texture is crisp and clean, never heavy or cloying. As a top-to-heart note, its projection is typically bright and immediate, offering an invigorating burst that gradually softens, allowing its greener, more leafy facets to emerge. Longevity is moderate, as its volatile components dissipate, leaving a lingering fresh, slightly acidic trail.
