Lemon Sugar
Note Profile
About
Lemon sugar is a composed citrus-gourmand accord, not a material. Three commercial perfumes sold under the name build it the same way: a bright lemon top, a soft red-fruit and powdery-floral heart, and a warm musk-vanilla-benzoin base. The musk base is what separates it from candied lemon, which stops at citrus over sugar.
Scent Profile
Lemon sugar opens with a bright, sweet lemon citrus top. A sugary sweetness runs through the middle, close to vanilla and caramel, next to a soft, powdery floral heart. Red fruit, like raspberry, sits alongside that sweetness. The base is a warm, clean musk with a resinous, balsamic warmth underneath, which is what separates it from plain candied lemon.

Origin
No extract, isolate or supplier material exists under this name. The term is a product name used by perfume brands. Sand + Fog, Tulip Perfume and Kayali each sell a fragrance called Lemon Sugar and each publishes a note pyramid for it. Those three pyramids are the whole evidence base.
Usage in Perfumery
A commercial citrus-gourmand theme. Parfumo records 3 placements across 2 brands. Perfumers use it for a bright, edible opening that dries down soft and musky rather than sharp.
