Woodland strawberry, scientifically known as *Fragaria vesca*, is a species of the Fragaria genus, also recognized by its common names such as wild strawberry or alpine strawberry. This perennial plant is native to the temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere. Woodland strawberries are distinguished by their small stature, generally not exceeding 20 cm in height. They produce charming white flowers, which later develop into small, conical, bright red berries. The leaves are trifoliate with toothed margins, arranged in a rosette at the base of the plant.
The scent profile of woodland strawberries is particularly enticing and is more pronounced than that of cultivated varieties. The berries emit a delicate, sweet fragrance that is rich and complex. Aromatic notes include a blend of sweet and slightly tart nuances reminiscent of the actual taste of the fruit. The fragrance is clean and fresh with underlying hints of green, reflecting its natural woodland habitat. The captivating aroma of woodland strawberry is cherished in perfumery and gastronomy for its authentic, vivid essence that evokes the freshness of a forest.
