About

Hazelnut cocoa spread is a gourmand accord, not a material. It is the smell of the jarred chocolate-hazelnut spread: roasted hazelnut and milk chocolate at equal weight over a sweet, milky base of vanilla, toasted sugar and tonka. It is sweeter and milkier than the published hazelnut note and much less bitter than roasted-cocoa.

Scent Profile

Hazelnut Cocoa Spread smells like the jarred chocolate-hazelnut spread itself. Roasted hazelnut and toasted nutty warmth lead, matched almost evenly by milk chocolate and cocoa cream. A sweet vanilla base runs underneath, close to toasted sugar. A creamy, milky lactonic richness ties it all together, with a faint hint of tonka and coconut at the edges.

A given perfume with this note may use this material, or something else.

Origin

Built, not extracted. Trade formula references give the accord a hazelnut lead carried by pyrazines - Olfactorian names cocoa pyrazine and 2-ethyl pyrazine as the chemicals that make a nutty-roasted character read as specifically hazelnut rather than generic nut - with a cocoa or milk-chocolate accord alongside it and a vanilla, sugar and tonka base underneath. DOOP Fragrance Co. publishes the full pyramid for its Hazelnut Spread oil: roasted hazelnut and nutty praline on top, milk chocolate, cocoa cream and a 'sweet spread accord' in the middle, vanilla bean, toasted sugar and warm tonka in the base. No manufacturer olfactive description sheet exists for it as a named product.

Usage in Perfumery

A gourmand heart-and-base accord. Attested on 18 Fragrantica entries and absent from Parfumo. Snif's Hazel Split body mist is the clearest commercial example, filed by its own house under 'ambery, gourmand, fruity'. The accord is used whole, as the subject of the fragrance, rather than as a modifier of something else.
