Ice Cream

2 perfumes

The ice cream note brings a chilled, lactonic sweetness to a composition, characterized by a dense, whipped cream texture and a distinct sugary vanilla undertone. Belonging to the sweet gourmand family, it provides a cooling contrast to heavier bases. It pairs exceptionally well with bright red berries or zesty citrus to mimic a frozen dessert profile, while also softening the edges of deep, resinous ambers. In the context of the Gulf, this note is a modern favorite for evening wear during the cooler winter months. Arab perfumers often utilize it to add a playful, approachable dimension to complex mukhallats, balancing the intensity of traditional oud or musk with a creamy, nostalgic softness that lingers pleasantly on the skin without becoming cloying in the dry heat of indoor gatherings.
