Pastry

Pastry is a dough-based food that is baked into a variety of sweet and savory treats. It is made from flour, butter or shortening, and often includes eggs, sugar, and other flavorings. Pastry can be used to make pies, tarts, croissants, danishes, and many other delectable baked goods.

Pastry notes in fragrances can evoke a sense of comfort, nostalgia, and indulgence. They may remind the wearer of freshly baked treats from their childhood or a cozy bakery. Fragrances with pastry accords can be suitable for casual, everyday wear, as they tend to have a warm, inviting quality. They may also work well in colder weather, as the comforting scent can provide a sense of coziness.

Pastry notes are not commonly used in perfumery, as they tend to be quite gourmand and sweet. However, some perfumes may incorporate subtle hints of pastry-like aromas, such as buttery, flaky, or slightly yeasty notes, to add a comforting, homey quality. These notes are often found in the base or heart of fragrances.
