About

Amarula is the cream liqueur built on the fruit of the marula tree. In perfumery it is used as a gourmand drink accord, not as a fruit note. It smells like a dessert: dairy cream, caramel and toffee, a mild chocolate-and-coffee tone, and the marula fruit itself only as a background exotic sweetness.

Scent Profile

Amarula smells like a dessert built on dairy cream, not on the marula fruit itself. A caramel and toffee sweetness runs through it, close to butterscotch and vanilla. A mild chocolate and coffee note sits underneath, more roasted than bitter. The fruit itself is a background tropical sweetness rather than a fresh fruit note, and a warm cinnamon spice shows at the edges.
