Lingonberry
Vaccinium vitis-idaea
The lingonberry is a small evergreen shrub of conifer forests and northern heaths. Its bright red berries, tart and slightly bitter, are picked in autumn; in Sweden they are served as a preserve with game or meatballs. The berry cannot be distilled: the perfumer rebuilds its lively, fruity note.
What it brings
A tart red berry, lively and juicy.
