Malt

Malt is a cereal grain, typically barley, that has been germinated and then dried. It has a rich, toasted, and slightly sweet aroma reminiscent of bread, caramel, and nuts. Malt is an essential ingredient in the production of beer, whisky, and other fermented grain-based beverages.

Fragrances featuring malt notes tend to evoke a sense of comfort, coziness, and nostalgia. They can create a warm, enveloping aroma that is well-suited for cooler weather and casual, relaxed settings. Malt-based scents are often perceived as masculine or unisex, but can also work well for those seeking a more comforting, gourmand-inspired fragrance.

Malt is commonly used as a base note in fragrances, providing a warm, comforting, and slightly sweet aroma. It is often paired with other notes like vanilla, caramel, or woody accords to create a rich, gourmand-style fragrance. Malt-based scents are popular in men's fragrances and can also be found in some unisex or even feminine perfumes.
