ABOUT

A nostalgic modeling dough note: powdery-sweet vanilla and almond (heliotrope) over a dry, floury warmth, with a hint of salty skin and a soft waxy-plastic undertone; it evokes classroom craft tables and cozy childhood comfort. Used in gourmand and conceptual compositions to lend playful, doughy realism and powdery comfort, it sits in the heart-to-base and pairs well with vanilla, tonka, heliotrope, almond, iris, soft musks, and woods; a touch is charming, while excess can skew plasticky or cloying.
