FloralMacchiato
Macchiato is a gourmand note entirely recomposed in perfumery, inspired by the drink made of an espresso coffee stained with milk. It does not correspond to any natural extraction, but to an olfactory construction combining roasted coffee, warm milk and sweet foam. It is used in gourmand compositions and gourmand orientals, bringing warmth, roundness and an evocation of creamy coffee.
Macchiato, reconstructed creamy roasted coffee
Macchiato is a drink of Italian origin, consisting of an espresso coffee to which a small amount of milk or milk foam is added. This culinary preparation is obviously not subject to perfume extraction, and the note that bears its name is entirely an olfactory reconstruction imagined by the perfumer. It belongs to the family of gourmands with a coffee-inspired character.
The olfactory profile sought combines the roasted intensity of espresso coffee with the milky sweetness of warm milk and the sugary lightness of foam. Perfumers build this note from materials with a coffee character, milky facets and slightly sweet nuances, to recreate the aromatic complexity of this iconic drink.
In composition, the Macchiato note is integrated into gourmand accords and gourmand orientals, where it brings warmth, roundness and an evocation of creamy coffee. It naturally interacts with notes of vanilla, caramel, chocolate or soft musks, contributing to enveloping and comforting compositions with a coffee and pastry aesthetic.
Its roasted facet allows it to combine with slightly smoky woody notes or soft resins, creating complex accords where the gourmand character takes on depth and warmth. Reconstructed macchiato fits into a contemporary perfumed aesthetic that values culinary references and accords with a coffee and dessert character.
