Juniper Berries

27 perfumes

Derived from the crushed cones of the Juniperus communis shrub, juniper berries offer a crisp, gin-like profile—piney, peppery, and sparklingly citrusy. Typically a top note, it provides an immediate, bracing freshness that cuts through heavier accords. In the Gulf, juniper is increasingly paired with smoky oud or spicy saffron to bridge the gap between traditional intensity and modern, airy sophistication. Its cooling, aromatic bite acts as a refined, botanical counterpoint to the region’s opulent, resinous base notes.
