ABOUT

Bread smells warm, yeasty and slightly sweet, with malty, milky dough facets and a toasted crust nuance that evokes freshly baked loaves, cozy kitchens and comforting nostalgia. Its aroma reads as soft, edible and homey rather than floral or green. In perfumery bread is used as a gourmand or texture note—often built from malty, buttery and toasted-cereal accords—to add warmth, edible realism and rounded body, and it pairs well with vanilla, caramel, butter, tonka, amber and soft musks to enhance cozy, bakery-like compositions.
