Almond
The almond note in perfumery presents a complex olfactory profile, often perceived as sweet, nutty, and slightly powdery, with a characteristic hint of bitterness that prevents it from becoming cloying. It can range from the creamy, marzipan-like richness of sweet almond extract to the more nuanced, hay-like, and powdery facets derived from coumarin (found in tonka bean). Its texture feels smooth and soft, sometimes even velvety or dusty depending on the composition. Intensity is typically moderate, offering a comforting presence rather than an overwhelming blast. It often behaves as a heart or base note, providing warmth, sweetness, and a subtle gourmand or powdery depth, though certain volatile forms (like benzaldehyde) can appear briefly in the top. Projection is usually moderate, creating a pleasant, inviting aura. Longevity is fair to good, particularly when anchored by heavier base notes.
