Bitter Almond
The note presents a complex olfactory paradox: a potent, distinctly nutty aroma underscored by a sharp, almost medicinal bitterness and a peculiar, slightly metallic or cherry-pit nuance. It immediately projects a rich, dense character, reminiscent of marzipan or amaretto liqueur, yet it lacks the overt sweetness of conventional almond. Its texture feels smooth, almost oily, yet simultaneously powdery and dry on the olfactive palate. As a top-to-heart note, it bursts forth with intensity, demanding attention, then gradually mellows, allowing its bitter facets to intertwine with its inherent sweetness. Its sillage is often robust, creating an enveloping, intriguing aura, and its longevity can extend well into the heart, sometimes lingering subtly into the base, lending a sophisticated, slightly melancholic sweetness. It never truly softens into a simple comforting note; rather, it maintains an elegant tension between its creamy nuttiness and its intriguing acerbity.
