The note of butterscotch unfurls as a rich, deeply caramelized sweetness, imbued with a creamy, almost lactonic warmth. It possesses a distinct buttery richness, often with subtle hints of toasted sugar and a whisper of vanilla. Its texture is smooth and enveloping, like a molten confection, rather than sharp or crystalline. The intensity is typically moderate to strong, offering a comforting, gourmand presence. As a fragrance component, it tends to behave as a heart or base note, providing excellent longevity and a soft, inviting projection that lingers beautifully on the skin, evolving from a more direct sweetness to a nuanced, warm caramel-vanilla drydown.
