ABOUT

Panettone in perfumery captures the warm, yeasty, golden-baked aroma of the Italian holiday cake—soft brioche dough, buttery and toasted crust, sweet vanilla and caramel, bright candied citrus peel, raisins or dried fruit and a hint of almond or rum-like boozy warmth. It is used as a gourmand/comfort accord to lend cozy, festive sweetness and baked-goods realism, often paired with vanilla, tonka, benzoin or caramel and spiced or woody notes to create warm autumnal or holiday compositions.

These scents typically include notes such as vanilla, chocolate, caramel, and various fruits, creating a warm and inviting olfactory experience that can be both comforting and indulgent. Common examples of gourmand notes include rich vanilla bean, creamy praline, and luscious coffee, which can be blended with floral or spicy elements to enhance their complexity. The result is a mouthwatering scent profile that appeals to those who enjoy sweet, cozy, and often nostalgic fragrances.
