Candied Almond is a delectable and indulgent note in perfumery, inspired by the sweet, nutty aroma of almonds coated in sugar or caramel. It captures the rich, sweet, and slightly toasted scent reminiscent of confectionery treats like pralines or sugared almonds often found at fairs and celebrations. While not derived from natural extraction, Candied Almond is crafted synthetically to evoke feelings of warmth, comfort, and nostalgia. In fragrances, it adds a luxurious and gourmand facet, enhancing compositions with its sweet, nutty richness. Candied Almond is commonly used in gourmand and oriental fragrances, where it complements notes like vanilla, caramel, and spices, contributing to a cozy and appetizing aroma profile.
Natural or Synthetic?
Candied Almond cannot be extracted as a natural essential oil or absolute because the process of candying almonds involves coating them in sugar or caramel, and neither almonds nor their candied form yield volatile oils suitable for perfumery through conventional extraction methods. Therefore, the Candied Almond note is created synthetically using aroma chemicals that mimic its sweet, nutty, and caramelized scent. This synthetic approach allows perfumers to capture the indulgent aroma of candied almonds, which would be impractical or impossible to obtain naturally.
