ABOUT

Oat is a warm, milky cereal accord that suggests porridge, toasted grain and lightly biscuity cream—softly sweet, slightly nutty and powdery rather than green or grassy. It reads as comforting and edible, evoking cozy breakfasts, baked goods and a soft, wearable skin-like warmth. In perfumery oat is used as a gourmand and texturizing modifier to add milky roundness, dry cereal facets and a cozy, comforting backbone; it typically supports florals, ambers and gourmand compositions and blends well with vanilla, tonka, almond, cinnamon, lactones and soft musks to create creamy, homey, enveloping accords.
