About whipped cream
Whipped Cream as a fragrance note captures the essence of luxury and comfort, embodying the sweet, airy lightness and creamy texture of its edible counterpart. This gourmand note is characterized by its rich, sweet, and slightly buttery aroma, which can add a voluptuous layer to a fragrance, making it more inviting and comforting. It is often used to impart a smooth, creamy quality to the overall scent profile, enhancing the fragrance's depth and complexity without overwhelming the senses. In perfumery, Whipped Cream is a relatively modern note, reflecting the growing popularity of gourmand fragrances that seek to replicate the olfactory pleasure of delicious foods and desserts. It plays a crucial role in creating a cozy, warm, and sometimes nostalgic atmosphere within a fragrance, making it particularly appealing in colder months or evening wear.
Natural Sources
- •Synthetic creation - as the scent of whipped cream cannot be directly extracted, perfumers use a combination of synthetic molecules to replicate its creamy, sweet aroma.
Synthetic Alternatives
Lactones (for creamy, milky aspects), Vanillin (for sweet, vanilla-like nuances), Diacetyl (for buttery qualities)
Perfumer's Tips
Whipped Cream should be used sparingly to avoid overpowering the fragrance with sweetness. It works best as a middle or base note, providing a creamy backdrop that can enhance and round out the other components. It's particularly effective in gourmand, oriental, and some floral compositions where its creamy sweetness can complement the other notes without dominating the scent profile.
