Butter CO2 is a gourmand note that adds edible warmth, sweetness, and comfort. It may suggest cream, sugar, nuts, chocolate, coffee, honey, pastry, or toasted grains depending on the accord. In perfumery, gourmand notes make compositions feel cozy and sensual, but they work best when balanced with woods, musks, spices, citrus, or resins. It pairs well with vanilla, tonka bean, sandalwood, amber, caramel, cacao, coffee, and soft florals.
