I Could Inhale This Food - Edible Perfume Notes

Coconut is my favorite gourmand perfume note -- those fragrance notes are based on foods, especially spicy foods.    What a nexus,   it's the best of both worlds!!
Here are a few more popular gourmand perfume notes:

  • Honey 

  • Cumin
 
  • Saffron

  • Cardamom

  • Sugar or Caramel

  • Orange, Lime, Lemon
  • Almond
  • Butter
 
  • Mint

  • Chocolate


Rose petals with Glass of rose petal jam

Of course, I can’t forget about edible flower fragrance notes, like 


  • Violet


  • Lavender

  • Rose

 But I just luv, luv, luv the smell of fresh coconut and toasted coconut fragrances that remind me of Holiday desserts. Nothing beats eating coconut cake and sweet potato pie topped with toasted coconut for the Holidays.  
 
But the best are creamy coconut perfumes blended with everybody’s favorite flavor:  Orchid!!!  Huh?    You know… vanilla flavoring!

Posso “I Can” New Coconut Oil Based Perfume

Osmia Organics touts their new perfume as an “antidote to feelings of insecurity”. Mature scents like Violet leaf, sandalwood, frankincense, melissa essential oils and extracts are infused into coconut and jojoba oils.

Infusion is an ancient  holistic fragrance manufacturing process that’s once again popular with perfume makers. To me, infusion creates a full-bodied  but delicate fragrance experience for perfume lovers.

Fragrance materials are basically steeped in either animal fats or oils like coconut to extract perfume notes.

Popular perfumer Pacifica’s designs youthful fragrances that are also made with a coconut oil base.
