About sugar candy
Sugar candy as a fragrance note captures the essence of crystalline, sweet treats that evoke memories of childhood and festivities. It is characterized by its ability to add a mouthwatering sweetness to fragrances, often contributing to a perfume's playful, indulgent, and comforting aura. While not derived from natural sources in the conventional sense, the sugar candy note is crafted to mimic the scent of sugared confections through clever blending of ingredients. Its use in perfumery spans from adding a sweet base in gourmand perfumes to enhancing the depth of floral and fruity compositions.
Synthetic Alternatives
Although there are no direct natural sources for the 'sugar candy' note, it is synthesized in perfumery through a combination of ethyl maltol and other synthetic molecules that emulate the sweet, comforting aroma of candied sugar.
Perfumer's Tips
Use sparingly to infuse a sense of sweetness without overpowering the composition. It works best as a middle note, adding a bridge between the top notes and the deeper base notes, enriching gourmand, fruity, and floral fragrances.
