Chestnut

Chestnut is a warm and nutty fragrance note with a rich, slightly sweet scent profile that carries subtle earthy and roasted undertones. Its aroma is cozy, indulgent, and comforting, adding a gourmand and autumnal quality to perfumes. Chestnut imparts a soft, toasty character and is often used as a middle or base note to create warmth and depth in fragrance compositions. It pairs beautifully with vanilla, woody, and spicy notes, contributing to fragrances that are warm, inviting, and full of character.

History & Production: Chestnuts are widely enjoyed in Europe and North America, particularly in the autumn and winter seasons, where they are often roasted to enhance their natural aroma. In perfumery, chestnut is typically recreated using synthetic accords or combined with other warm, nutty notes to capture its unique, toasty scent. Chestnut notes are valued for their ability to add a cozy, gourmand depth that enhances the richness and warmth of fragrances, evoking a sense of comfort and seasonal charm.
