Walnut

1 perfumes

Walnut introduces a sophisticated, earthy bitterness to a fragrance, characterized by its distinctively dry, woody, and slightly tannic profile. Belonging to the sweet and nutty olfactive family, it provides a grounded contrast to more volatile top notes. In perfumery, walnut pairs naturally with warm spices like cardamom or creamy sandalwood, adding a tactile, textured depth to gourmand compositions. Its rich, balsamic undertones make it an exceptional choice for the cooler evenings of the Gulf, where the sharp heat of the day gives way to a milder climate. Arab houses often utilize this note to bridge the gap between traditional resinous bases and modern, edible accords, offering a refined, mature sweetness that avoids the cloying nature of typical sugary scents, ensuring a lingering, sophisticated trail on the skin.
