Mulberry + Syrup
Not a natural pairing: they share little aroma and few recipes use both, which puts them in the top 45% of all ingredient pairs.
Do mulberry and syrup go together?
Not really. One recipe in our collection uses both, and they share 24 flavor molecules. That places them in the top 45% of every ingredient pair we score.
What they have in common
More than half of syrup's flavor molecules (24 of 47) also occur in mulberry. Among the shared key aromas are ethanol (alcoholic, ethereal) and decanoic acid (soapy, waxy). Most of what they share is background chemistry many foods carry, so the overlap does little for the smell.

Can you swap one for the other?
Not really. Each has a lot the other lacks: mulberry has 205 molecules syrup doesn't, and syrup has 23 that mulberry doesn't. Treat them as partners, not stand-ins. This compares flavor only; texture, moisture and the job each does in a dish matter too.
