No kidding! I am still on the hunt for a wild strawberry or blueberry note that doesn't smell like dessert. @smellykellyrose.bsky.social has reviewed quite a few strawberry perfumes on TikTok if you need suggestions.

I have a sample of that one on the way. 🙃 Where the Wild Things Grow II by Sorce is supposedly more of a natural 'green' strawberry in a garden scent, but it's only available during special order periods. Some people say Cape Heartache by Imaginary Authors is realistic, too.
I have a 15ml of WTWTG II! It’s a very green and earthy fragrance. I think it might works for you. The strawberry has that still on the vines feel to it.
I tried where the wild things grow ii in the oil version and it wasn’t my jam but I would definitely revisit it in the edp. Cape Heartache has been on my list of scents to try for a while though! I’m due for an IA exploration
I know I talk about this all the time but I’ll throw Mlle Gamay into the ring as a really tart and bright strawberry that doesn’t feel too candied or too green.
Thank you for the suggestion! I've avoided fruity notes for years, and strawberry has been my gateway into exploring more. Adding this to the try list.
