Hazelnut in perfumery is valued for its warm, nutty, and slightly sweet aroma. It adds a comforting and gourmand quality to fragrance compositions, evoking a sense of coziness and richness. Hazelnut notes are used to impart a creamy and indulgent aspect to scents, often complementing other gourmand and woody notes. While the natural scent of hazelnuts can be captured through extraction processes, synthetic versions are also commonly employed in perfumery to achieve a more consistent and pronounced hazelnut aroma. This makes hazelnut a versatile ingredient in both natural and synthetic forms, widely used in gourmand and oriental fragrances.
Natural or Synthetic?
The fragrance of Hazelnut in perfumery is predominantly synthetic, as the natural oil extraction from hazelnuts is not common. Synthetic hazelnut fragrance is created to replicate the rich, nutty, and slightly woody aroma of hazelnuts, often using a blend of aroma chemicals that mimic the nut's characteristic scent.
