Origin

Breadnut is derived from the seeds of the Brosimum alicastrum tree, native to Central America. The seeds are typically roasted or processed to extract their aromatic compounds, which are then used as a natural ingredient or recreated through aroma chemicals in perfumery.

Usage in Perfumery

Perfumers use breadnut primarily in the heart or base of gourmand compositions to impart warmth and a cozy, edible character. It blends well with vanilla, tonka bean, spices, and woody notes, enhancing the richness and depth of sweet or nutty accords. Breadnut is valued for adding a unique, comforting nuance to both niche and mainstream fragrances.
