About the formula

Introduction

Hazelnuts, also known as Cobnuts or Filberts, are a popular note in gourmand perfumery. This accord was an exciting challenge, pushing me beyond my usual comfort zone. Working with pyrazines and furans, which are responsible for the nutty character and roasted quality, was a great learning experience.

Pyrazines and Furans

Pyrazines, especially Cocoa and 2 Ethyl Pyrazine, are powerful ingredients that require careful dilution, often to 0.1% or even less. Their use in this accord creates the characteristic nutty, warm, and roasted aroma of hazelnuts. The selection of pyrazines plays a crucial role in shaping the final scent profile.

Sweet and Creamy Hazelnut

This accord offers a captivating blend of sweet, creamy hazelnut, reminiscent of the delicious nut itself. The addition of Hedione, Heliotropin, and vanillin further enhance the sensory experience. These ingredients contribute to the smooth and rounded quality of the fragrance, softening any harsh edges and creating a more approachable aroma.

Coffee and Chocolate Undertones

A subtle, yet noticeable, coffee and chocolate nuance adds complexity to the hazelnut accord. This undertone is a result of the interplay of various components, including the chosen pyrazines and other fragrance molecules. It creates a rich and inviting sensory experience, hinting at the gourmand nature of the scent.

Possible Uses

This hazelnut accord can be incorporated into various fragrance applications, such as perfumes, candles, and body care products. Its versatility allows it to be used in a range of styles, from sophisticated and elegant to casual and playful. The unique combination of hazelnut, coffee, and chocolate undertones makes it a versatile and alluring option for both men and women.
