About Cream

Scent Profile

Cream is a fantasy note characterized by a milky, smooth sweetness reminiscent of butter or fresh cream. It is often recreated using molecules like acetoin and diacetyl, which impart a creamy, buttery character.

Use in Perfumery

Cream notes are commonly used in gourmand fragrances to add richness and a soft, comforting texture. They pair well with vanilla, caramel, and other sweet notes, and can also soften floral or woody compositions.

Did You Know?

The cream note is a fantasy accord, not derived from actual cream. Diacetyl, a key molecule in butter aroma, is often used to create this effect in perfumery.
