Scent Profile
The scent is centered on a **dry, roasted nuttiness**, carried by an oily roundness that comes from the seed itself. A subtle, dark toasted edge sits underneath, giving the note depth without pushing it toward sweetness. The result is a gourmand note that feels savory and grounded rather than confectionery.
Use in Perfumery

It sits comfortably alongside vanilla, tonka bean, sandalwood, and warm spices, offering a dry roasted counterpoint to sweeter accords. The balance of toasted warmth, richness and sweetness can shift considerably with the interpretation.
