Marshmallow

Marshmallow is a sweet and comforting fragrance note with a soft, sugary scent profile that carries subtle vanilla and creamy undertones. Its aroma is light, warm, and nostalgic, adding a playful and gourmand quality to perfumes. Marshmallow imparts a fluffy, airy character and is often used as a middle or base note to create sweetness and softness in fragrance compositions. It pairs beautifully with vanilla, fruity, and floral notes, contributing to fragrances that are cozy, whimsical, and full of charm.

History & Production: The scent of marshmallow is inspired by the popular confection, originally made using the root of the marshmallow plant (Althaea officinalis). In perfumery, the marshmallow scent is recreated using synthetic accords or a blend of vanilla, sugar, and soft powdery notes to capture its sweet, comforting aroma. Marshmallow notes are valued for their ability to add a cozy, gourmand touch that enhances the warmth and playful quality of fragrances, evoking a sense of sweetness and nostalgia.
