ABOUT

Eggnog in perfumery reads as rich, creamy custard draped in vanilla and milky lactonic warmth, dusted with nutmeg and cinnamon and lit by a soft boozy rum glow; it evokes holiday coziness, fireside nostalgia, and indulgent dessert-like comfort. Perfumers deploy eggnog accords in gourmands and warm spicy-amber styles to add plush texture and festive spice, building them from lactones, vanillin or tonka, nutmeg/cinnamon/clove and rum facets, then tempering with woods, benzoin, tobacco, or soft musks to keep the sweetness balanced.
