Almond Fragrances

The almond accord in fragrance is warm, sweet, and unmistakably nostalgic, evoking marzipan, amaretto, and freshly baked pastry. Almond in perfumery is typically achieved using benzaldehyde (a naturally occurring molecule in bitter almond and cherry pits), heliotropin, and coumarin, which together create a soft, powdery sweetness with a slightly creamy, almost cosmetic quality.
