Hazelnut

About

Hazelnut is a creamy, toasted-nut note with buttery, lactonic sweetness and praline/gianduja facets, touched by faint cocoa and woody dryness; it evokes patisserie warmth and autumnal comfort. Used chiefly in modern gourmands—often constructed via pyrazines, lactones, and caramelic materials—it adds edible warmth and velvety texture to vanilla, chocolate, coffee, and caramel accords, while softening woods, amber, tobacco, or suede in the base.
