Danish Pastry
Note Profile
About
Danish pastry is the smell of wienerbrod: a yeast-leavened wheat dough laminated with butter, spiced with cardamom, and baked to a golden crust. Butter leads.
Scent Profile
Danish Pastry smells of butter first, a yeasted dough laminated with layer after layer of it. Sugar sweetness runs through the dough and its glaze. Cardamom sits behind the butter, part warm spice, part a fresher, peppery spice. A golden-brown, nutty crust rounds off the baked character.

Origin
A prepared food, not a material a supplier sells. Wikipedia describes the dough as a viennoiserie of wheat flour, milk, eggs, sugar and large amounts of butter or margarine, rolled and folded to about 27 layers. Two independent food sources name cardamom as a defining part of the dough itself.
Usage in Perfumery
Used as a gourmand accord built from butter, sugar, baked-dough and cardamom materials. One perfume brand's note list attests the term. No fragrance house sells a material called Danish pastry.
