Bitter Almond
“Sharp, cherry-like nuttiness with a distinctive sweet-bitter snap.”
Bitter almond smells intensely of marzipan, cherry kernels and cyanide-like sharpness, much more dramatic than sweet almond. In perfumery it adds a striking, almost dangerous sweetness to orientals and gourmands. In India, its intense character suits winter evenings. Use with confidence, it makes a statement.
