Cashew is a creamy nutty gourmand note with soft sweetness, mild roast, and a smooth tropical warmth. Compared with almond, it is less bitter and more buttery, giving fragrances a rounded edible softness without becoming too heavy. In perfumery, cashew can enrich vanilla, coconut, sandalwood, caramel, tonka bean, musks, and tropical fruits. It is useful in warm gourmands and creamy woods where a gentle nutty texture is needed.
