Almond
Almond adds a rich, nutty sweetness to fragrances, often with subtle hints of creamy bitterness. It evokes warmth and indulgence, reminiscent of marzipan or baked goods. In perfumery, almond is a versatile note that enhances gourmand, oriental, and floral compositions, lending a smooth, comforting depth that contrasts beautifully with sharper or fresher accords.
History & Production: Almonds have been cultivated for thousands of years, with origins in the Middle East. The almond scent is typically recreated synthetically in perfumery to avoid allergenic effects. Benzaldehyde, a natural compound found in bitter almonds, is often used to mimic the aroma, creating a luxurious, nutty scent without the use of actual nuts.
