The ultimate aromas from the ultimate source!
Essential oils, Absolutes, Concretes, Fruit essences, Perfume compositions,
Fruit essences
For soft and alcoholic drinks, pastry products, sugar products and milk foods
Fruit essences are intended for aromatizing of non-alcoholic beverages, alcoholic beverages, sweet, chocolates and confectionary and pastry. The Bulgarian State Standard defines the fruit essences as highly-concentrated solutions. The solutions used in the manufacture of the fruit essences are ethyl alcohol and 1,2-propylenglycol.

Perfume compositions
Fragrances for Detergents, Soaps, Perfumery and Cosmetics
The Perfume compositions are mixtures of natural aromatic products, synthetic aromatic compounds, dilutors and modificators. The natural and synthetic aromatic compounds are the main carriers of the of the aroma of each perfume composition, and the dilutors and modificators facilitate the evenness of the emission.

wild ideas (uwangi - uchuk wang/kebala sa ai in Kenyah language)
I'm going to be completely honest here. this idea is great, but fruity fragrances are difficult to manufacture without using artificial flavors. They're also difficult because most fleshy fruits (strawberries) don't contain the oils that are generally used in fragrances. If you were to go with oranges, the peel can be pressed to make an oil. You could then add this oil to a base (olive oil, canola oil) and have a fragrance. So, consider doing citrusy perfumes like orange, lemon, lime or grapefruit (anything with a peel).

We could use a distillation apparatus to extract the fragrant oils from plants or flowers. You could take leaves from a blueberry plant. There are some lichens that smell like vanilla (you could use those!). You could use rose petals or any flower petal.
If you don't have the patience to play around with distillation apparatuses you can purchase pure essential oils from a health/hippy store and blend them to make your own unique fragrances. May be use a drop of the essential oil and add it to a non scented base (olive oil or canola oil). You need to use olive/canola oil because you can't just add water. Water and oils don't mix. If you drop essential oils in a container of water, the oils will just stick together in a bubble and they won't mix with the water.
The fragrance is purely manufactured by using chemicals and unless you have open access to esters and chemicals, then you likely won't have success in making fruity smells.

- proposal for kebala sa-ai/uchuk wang/etc fragrance to be extracted - that would be great and the natural smell is really like issey miyaki
