D.Grayi - Strawberry Cat Shortcake

D.Grayi Strawberry Cat Shortcake is a decadent yet unconventional fruity gourmand fragrance that balances playful sweetness with shadowy depth. It opens with an unexpected herbaceous spark—catnip and prickly ash berries wrapping juicy strawberry in a woody, almost tropical glow, while bright yuzu keeps the introduction crisp and effervescent. As it settles, the heart reveals a comforting shortcake fantasy of ripe strawberry, buttery biscuit, and whipped cream. The dry down turns darker and more seductive, where sugar melts into an animalic civet accord and warm amber, transforming this dessert-inspired scent into something daring, complex, and unforgettable.

Inspired by a strawberry-picking trip in Tokyo, this composition captures the astonishing diversity of Japanese strawberries—some candy-sweet and tutti-frutti, others vinous and tannic, with hints of cocoa and tea leaves. These layered strawberry impressions are reimagined through D.Grayi’s signature love of catnip and civet, creating a strawberry gourmand that feels both nostalgic and avant-garde.

Why you’ll love it:

Fruity & Unexpected: Strawberry is redefined with catnip and prickly ash berries, adding a woody, spicy twist that elevates the familiar fruit into something intriguing.

Dark Gourmand Depth: Civet accord and amber lend a subtle animalic warmth, giving this sweet scent a moody, sophisticated edge.

Nostalgic & Artistic: Inspired by Tokyo strawberry farms, the fragrance blends candy-like sweetness with winey, bitter, and cocoa-like nuances.
