ABOUT

Marron Glacé is a gourmand note evoking candied chestnuts—sugary and nutty, with buttery, vanillic and caramelized facets, a touch of rum/maple syrup, and faint roasted-woody undertones that suggest winter patisserie. Used mostly in the heart and base, it brings plush, cozy sweetness and edible warmth, pairing beautifully with vanilla, benzoin, tonka, sandalwood, amber, iris, praline, coffee and spices, or contrasted against smoky woods, leather and incense.
