ALMOND MILK

Almond milk is a creamy fragrance idea with a gentle almond character. Compared with a sharper marzipan-style almond note, the emphasis is on a milky texture and rounded sweetness. It can soften a floral composition or lend a lightly gourmand impression without necessarily suggesting a rich dessert.

Perfumers use almond-milk accords to recreate this effect; the note does not mean that a drink has been added to the formula. Its balance of nuttiness, sweetness and creaminess varies with the composition. Look at the accompanying flowers, musks or woods to understand whether the overall fragrance is airy or more enveloping.
