Cognac
The Cognac note in perfumery is a rich, warm, and deeply aromatic accord designed to evoke the complex bouquet of the aged spirit. It typically presents a boozy, slightly sharp opening that quickly mellows into layers of dried fruit (raisin, plum), sweet caramel or vanilla nuances, and a distinct woody undertone, often reminiscent of oak barrels. It can possess a subtle spiciness (cinnamon, clove) and a velvety, almost viscous texture in its olfactory feel. Intensity is usually moderate to strong, providing significant depth. It evolves from a more alcoholic top/heart facet to a smoother, sweeter, and woodier base. Projection is typically moderate, creating a warm, enveloping aura. Longevity is good, often functioning as a heart note that lingers into the base, providing warmth and richness.
