Maple
Maple is a rare and comforting note in perfumery, admired for its rich sweetness and subtle woody warmth. Inspired by the sap of the Acer saccharum tree, its scent blends the creamy sweetness of caramelised sugar with the soft depth of polished wood — creating a golden, gourmand warmth that feels both indulgent and natural.
Its aroma is sweet and syrupy at first, gradually revealing woody and balsamic undertones that lend sophistication and balance. Used as a base or heart note, Maple brings smoothness, depth, and longevity, adding a cozy, enveloping quality that enhances both gourmand and woody compositions.
Perfumers often use Maple to enrich amber and vanilla accords or to add warmth to floral and spicy blends. It pairs beautifully with tonka bean, sandalwood, and tobacco for an autumnal richness, or with musks and resins to evoke the scent of glowing wood and golden light.
Emotionally, Maple conveys comfort, nostalgia, and tranquility. Its aroma feels familiar yet refined — the scent of warmth, quiet indulgence, and natural elegance.
In modern perfumery, Maple has become a symbol of sweet sophistication. Its fusion of gourmand richness and woody depth adds a comforting, luxurious glow to any composition — a note that captures the warmth of nature and the serenity of home.
