Origin

Tiramisu is a constructed accord, not a natural extract, created by blending aroma molecules and natural isolates that mimic the dessert's key components. Perfumers combine coffee, cocoa, creamy lactonic notes, vanilla, and sometimes a touch of rum or marsala-like facets to achieve the effect. These components are sourced from both natural and synthetic origins to replicate tiramisu's complexity.

Usage in Perfumery

Perfumers use tiramisu accords primarily in the heart and base of gourmand fragrances to impart a sense of edible richness and indulgence. It blends well with vanilla, tonka bean, praline, coffee, and nutty notes, as well as with woods and soft musks for added depth. Tiramisu is often employed to evoke comfort and warmth in dessert-inspired compositions.
