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.

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.
