About cappuccino
The cappuccino note in perfumery captures the essence of the popular coffee drink, blending the rich, bold aroma of espresso with the smoothness of milk and a touch of sweetness. This gourmand note adds depth and warmth to fragrances, evoking a sense of comfort and indulgence. It is often used to create a cozy, inviting atmosphere within a scent, making it particularly appealing in colder months. The cappuccino note is complex, with the ability to convey both the roasted character of coffee beans and the creamy texture of frothed milk, often complemented by a hint of cocoa or chocolate, adding to its richness and versatility in fragrance compositions.

Perfumer's Tips
When incorporating the cappuccino note into a fragrance composition, it is important to balance its richness and potential bitterness with sweeter or creamier elements to fully capture the essence of a cappuccino. It works best as a heart or base note, providing depth and warmth to the scent. Moderation is key, as the note can be overpowering if used too heavily.
