Butterscotch

About

Butterscotch in perfumery smells like molten brown sugar folded into butter—creamy, toffee-like and vanillic, with a warm burnt-sugar glow and fleeting hints of maple and molasses that evoke nostalgic confectionery and cozy kitchens. Usually built as an accord of caramelized-sugar and creamy lactonic facets, it enriches gourmand compositions or sweetens florals and woods; it pairs well with vanilla, tonka, cocoa, amber, tobacco, spices, and boozy notes, and must be dosed carefully to avoid cloying heaviness.
