It carries a youthful, spirited character that transforms a fragrance into an edible experience, often evoking a sense of joy and whimsy. Perfumers frequently employ this note in the heart or base of a composition to provide a sugary depth that lingers on the skin like a delicious memory. While it is predominantly featured in oriental gourmands, it is also increasingly used to add a modern, sugary twist to fruity florals.
