Almond Honey

About

Honey carrying almond. The honey body leads and a buttery, marzipan-tinged nuttiness sits under it, softened by milk and vanilla.

Scent Profile

Honeyed leads because the only source for the combined accord puts honey first in its own copy, "sweet wild honey and buttery almonds". It is set level with lavender-honey 0.72, below rose-honey 0.78 and well below plain honey 0.85, because almond and milk take room that plain honey keeps. Nutty is almond, from two sources that agree: "buttery almonds" in the product copy and "sweet, nutty, and powdery" with a benzaldehyde marzipan in the glossary. It is held below almond 0.82, marzipan 0.82 and nougat 0.82 because in this accord almond is the carried element, not the carrier. Sweet_vanillic covers the marzipan sweetness and the vanilla-and-tonka glaze the product names. Lactonic is the "glazes of milk" plus the "rich, creamy sweetness" the glossary gives honey. Floral and animalic are the part of the vector that is inference rather than description, and they are deliberately not zero. Both are strong in plain honey (floral, animalic and CA Perfume names phenylacetaldehyde and its "floral, slightly green facets" in honey itself. No source for the combined accord mentions either, and silence is not an absence, so they are carried through at reduced weight with the widest spreads in the file, 0.26 and 0.24.

Origin

A prepared accord, not an extract. The one commercial fragrance actually named Almond Honey, from Bluebyrd Soaps, builds it as "sweet wild honey and buttery almonds with glazes of milk, Tonka bean, vanilla, and musk" and lists the notes in that order. CA Perfume's glossary documents the two halves separately: almond's "signature in scent" is "sweet, nutty, and powdery" from benzaldehyde, and honey is "a rich, creamy sweetness with pronounced floral and slightly fruity undertones" built on phenylacetic acid and phenylacetaldehyde.

Usage in Perfumery

Three Parfumo listings from one brand, no Fragrantica attestation. A gourmand base and heart material. It follows the pattern of the other honey compounds already published here, lavender-honey and rose-honey, where the honey leads and the second term names what is dissolved in it.
