About

Lemon Pie is a gourmand accord with three layers. Tart lemon custard and zest on top, sweet vanilla meringue in the middle, and a buttery shortcrust base. The pastry base is what separates it from a sugared or candied lemon, which stops at citrus over vanilla sugar.

Scent Profile

Lemon Pie smells of tart lemon custard and zest on top, sharp and citrusy. A sweet vanilla meringue sits in the middle, sugared and soft. Underneath is a buttery, creamy shortcrust base, with a toasted, nutty pastry warmth. A dusting of icing sugar gives it a powdery finish.

What is ScentArt?

Origin

Not an extract. Lemon Pie is a constructed accord, sold as a fragrance oil under the name Lemon Meringue Pie. The reference dessert is lemon meringue pie: a shortcrust shell, a lemon custard filling and a sweet meringue on top.

Usage in Perfumery

Used in gourmand and dessert compositions where a bright fruit lead is wanted over a bakery base. It gives a fragrance a recognisable pudding shape without the heaviness of chocolate or caramel. Works next to meringue, custard, shortcrust pastry, butter and vanilla.
