Hazelnut

Hazelnut is a warm, rich, and nutty fragrance note derived from the aromatic hazelnut tree. It offers a sweet, creamy aroma with subtle earthy undertones, reminiscent of freshly roasted hazelnuts. This versatile note is often extracted through various methods, including CO2 extraction or created synthetically to capture its distinctive scent.

The scent of hazelnut evokes feelings of comfort, warmth, and indulgence. It can create a sense of coziness and nostalgia, making it perfect for autumn and winter fragrances. Hazelnut-infused perfumes are ideal for casual everyday wear, intimate gatherings, or as a comforting scent during colder months, offering a delightful blend of sophistication and familiarity.

In perfumery, hazelnut is primarily used as a heart or base note, adding depth and warmth to fragrances. It pairs exceptionally well with gourmand notes like vanilla, chocolate, and coffee, as well as woody and floral scents. Hazelnut is often found in oriental, gourmand, and woody fragrances, contributing a comforting and indulgent quality to the overall composition.
