Caramel

What does it smell like?

Sweet, toasty, sometimes creamy or slightly burnt, depending on the composition.

What is it?

A perfume accord inspired by caramel, not a claim that cooked sugar is added to the bottle.

The material

Aroma materials combined to create a caramel-like effect.

Where does it come from?

A composed accord has no botanical growing region.

Types and forms

Soft toffee, airy spun sugar and darker toasted-sugar effects are different interpretations.

Natural and manufactured materials

The perfume note describes a scent effect. It may be constructed from manufactured aroma materials and, where appropriate, natural extracts. The note name does not disclose a formula or certify ingredient origin.

How it is produced or composed

Materials such as ethyl maltol can contribute candy-like sweetness and caramel nuances; they are not a complete caramel formula.

Its role in perfume

Rounds gourmand compositions and softens woods, fruit and balsamic accords. Pyramid positions are useful tendencies, not fixed rules or performance guarantees.
