About brandy
Brandy as a fragrance note is celebrated for its complex and inviting aroma, reminiscent of the distilled wine from which it originates. It possesses a rich, warm, and slightly sweet profile with nuances of dried fruits, wood, and a subtle hint of spice, making it a unique and sophisticated addition to perfumery. This note is particularly valued for its ability to add a luxurious depth and a comforting, almost velvety texture to fragrance compositions. In perfumery, brandy can serve as a captivating top note that introduces the scent with a memorable impression or as a heart note that adds a rich body and warmth, contributing to the overall complexity and allure of the fragrance.

Perfumer's Tips
In perfumery, brandy is used sparingly to ensure its rich profile does not overpower the composition. It is best used in oriental, gourmand, or woody fragrances where its warm and fruity characteristics can be fully appreciated. Blending it with lighter notes can help in achieving a balanced fragrance, while pairing with similar warm and rich notes enhances its luxurious feel.
