Custard
The note unfolds with a profoundly rich, velvety, and dense sweetness, immediately conjuring an image of a golden, silken dessert. It possesses a warm, milky lactonic character, often intertwined with a subtle, comforting eggy warmth that speaks of homemade indulgence. A prominent vanilla sweetness is almost always present, sometimes with a faint hint of caramelized sugar or a touch of buttery richness. Its texture in the olfactory sense is incredibly smooth and enveloping, like liquid silk. The intensity is generally moderate to strong, offering a deliciously inviting projection that is both comforting and deeply satisfying. As it evolves, it mellows into a persistent, sweet, and slightly caramelized base, exhibiting excellent longevity. It functions predominantly as a heart to base note, providing a decadent and soft anchor to a composition.
