Sugar

Photo Sugar :: fragrance ingredients

In perfumery, Sugar is used to add a sweet, comforting, and sometimes caramelized note to fragrances. Its olfactory profile is versatile, allowing it to blend well with various scent categories, from fresh and fruity to deep and gourmand. The sweetness of Sugar in perfumes is often associated with warmth, indulgence, and a sense of nostalgia. The history of using sweet notes in fragrances can be traced back to ancient times. However, the explicit use of Sugar as a note is a more modern development, coinciding with the evolution of gourmand fragrances. These fragrances mimic the scents of food and desserts, where Sugar plays a pivotal role. Sugar in fragrances is not about replicating the exact scent of sugar granules but rather capturing its essence – the warm, comforting sweetness. This quality makes it an excellent ingredient for creating a cozy, inviting atmosphere in a fragrance.
