Profiterole

About

Profiterole is an indulgent gourmand note that smells of airy choux pastry and silky vanilla custard touched with chocolate glaze—buttery, milky, and gently caramelized, with a faintly eggy toasted shell and powdered-sugar sweetness; it evokes warm patisseries and celebratory indulgence. Used as a plush heart or base in gourmand compositions, it adds creamy volume and pastry realism, typically built with vanillin, maltols, lactones, and toasted pyrazines; it pairs well with vanilla, tonka, cocoa, caramel, coffee, and nut facets, often balanced by soft musks, woods, or amber to prevent cloying.
