About

Fudge is a soft confection boiled from sugar, butter and milk or cream. The note is the very sweet, dense, creamy smell of it. Chocolate is one optional flavouring here rather than the definition, which is what separates plain fudge from chocolate-fudge.

Scent Profile

Fudge smells very sweet, dense and creamy, with sugar, caramel and vanilla running through it. A buttery, milky dairy base sits underneath, the same base the dish is made from. Chocolate is only an occasional visitor here, an optional flavouring rather than the definition, so a cocoa note may or may not show.

What is ScentArt?

Origin

Prepared confection, not a material. There is no fudge extract. Parfumo records 30 perfumes with the note Fudge and catalogues Chocolate fudge as a separate note with 15. Perfumers build it from vanillin, lactones and caramelised-sugar materials.

Usage in Perfumery

Base of dairy gourmands. Ida Warg's Vanilla Fudge lists three notes, Caramel, Fudge and Vanilla, with no chocolate note at all, which is the clearest evidence that the plain term is used for chocolate-free formulations.
