About

Eggnog is a fantasy gourmand accord that reconstructs the winter drink: egg custard, sweetened dairy, vanilla, and warm baking spice. It is not an extract of anything.

Scent Profile

Eggnog smells like a creamy, custard-like concoction first. Vanilla, condensed milk and sugar give it a sweet dessert body. Warm baking spice runs through it too, nutmeg and cinnamon mostly, with clove in the background. A rum and bourbon warmth sits under all of it, along with a little amber warmth and tonka.

What is ScentArt?

Origin

Prepared drink, reconstructed. No essential oil, absolute or CO2 extract of eggnog exists. Every commercial version is a blend of aroma chemicals and accords. Village Craft & Candle publishes its build as red berries and dark wild cherries on top, cinnamon, clove and nutmeg in the heart, and rum accord, bourbon accord and tonka in the base. Vinevida publishes a different one for the same term: custard and orange on top, cinnamon, condensed milk and sugar in the heart, amber, clove and vanilla in the base.

Usage in Perfumery

A seasonal gourmand note, used in winter and Christmas compositions and heavily in candles and fragrance oils. It sits in the heart and base and carries a composition on its own. Attested in 7 Fragrantica perfumes and absent from Parfumo, so its real weight is in scented products rather than fine fragrance.
