ABOUT

Malt is a warm, grainy-sweet note with toasty cereal, honeyed and caramel facets, hints of biscuit and bread crust, and occasional creamy “malted milk” or faintly boozy nuances; it evokes breweries, distilleries, and the comfort of a bakery. In perfumery it lends edible warmth and plush body to gourmands, ambery-woody and tobacco styles, pairing beautifully with vanilla, tonka, caramel, coffee, cacao, woods, spices, and dried fruits, while careful dosing prevents a heavy mash-like sweetness.
