How the layers join

Origin

Biscotti is an Italian baked biscuit, and in fragrance it is a concept note inspired by that pastry rather than an extracted raw material. The accord is typically built from vanillic, nutty, toasted, buttery, and cereal materials such as vanillin, coumarin-like facets, lactones, pyrazines, and almond or pistachio nuances.

Usage in Perfumery

Perfumers use biscotti accords to add edible warmth, soft sweetness, and a baked texture to gourmand compositions. It is usually placed in the heart-to-base zone and blends well with vanilla, tonka, almond, coffee, chocolate, milk, and amber materials.
