The Story
Hazelnut in perfumery.
Hazelnut, with its rich, creamy aroma reminiscent of roasted nuts and a hint of sweetness, originates from the kernels of hazel trees. This versatile note adds a comforting warmth to fragrances, evoking feelings of comfort and indulgence without overwhelming the senses.
In perfumery, hazelnut often occupies the heart or base notes, blending seamlessly with vanilla, sandalwood, musk, rose, tonka bean, and amber. These pairings amplify its nutty character while grounding it in a warm, sweet foundation, creating compositions that are both cozy and sophisticated.
Today, you can experience hazelnut's distinctive charm in fragrances like Jo Malone London’s English Oak & Hazelnut for men (2017), Amouage’s Guidance (2023) and Guidance 46 (2024), and Valentino Uomo by Valentino (2014). These scents showcase a trend towards warm, comforting accords that resonate with modern sensibilities.
