Almond

Sweet, marzipan-soft, faintly bitter. A confection that hovers between gourmand and floral.

A built impression rather than one material, the almond accord trades on the warm, nutty-cherry tone of benzaldehyde, often rounded with heliotrope and tonka. It can read as dusty and powdery or as full-on bakery sweetness, depending on its company. A comforting, edible signature that anchors fougères and gourmands alike.
