In the beginning
Marshmallows are a delicacy that has survived for centuries. Often associated with childhood, evenings around a campfire, or even fairgrounds, marshmallows often evoke warm and comforting memories. A delicious, soft, sweet, and carefree aroma.
Marshmallow production in perfumery
In perfumery, the olfactory note of marshmallow is created using carefully studied synthetic components before being combined to best reproduce the characteristic aromas of this sweet treat. The success of the marshmallow accord lies in the balance between the sweet and soft facets. The marshmallow note is an accord built around natural and synthetic raw materials, including orange blossom, vanilla or vanillin, ethyl maltol, and other gourmet ingredients.
What do you know about marshmallow in perfumery?
Gourmand fragrances, such as marshmallow fragrances, have been a trend in fragrances since the 1990s. This is due to the success of Thierry Mugler's Angel, a fragrance recognizable by its cotton candy accord. Marshmallow notes are often found in the heart or base notes of perfumes. They pair particularly well with woody or floral notes, which contrast with the sweet, soft facets of marshmallow. They are often evocative of memories, offering an olfactory journey to childhood.
Famous perfumes with marshmallow
Marshmallow notes are used in perfumery (men's and women's eau de toilette and perfumes, especially in niche fragrances), cosmetics, room fragrances, and skincare (creams, shower gels). These marshmallow-based compositions are primarily for women, however, there are unisex marshmallow-based perfumes and eau de toilette. Here is a selection of famous perfumes that showcase this sweet note:
Marshmallow by Reminiscence: This eau de parfum for women is part of the “Les Notes Gourmandes” collection by Reminiscence. Top notes of bergamot, rosemary, and mint provide a fresh and aromatic opening. The floral heart notes of orange and jasmine are surprising and bring the soft and smooth effect of marshmallow. Finally, the marshmallow note is confirmed by base notes of vanilla, tonka bean, and musk.
Bonbon by Viktor & Rolf : As its name suggests, this eau de parfum is a real treat, highlighting marshmallow alongside notes of caramel and citrus. The gourmet caramel/marshmallow accord is combined here with floral and woody notes. This suave and exquisite women's fragrance has been released in a summer version, “Bonbon Spring Summer” Eau de Toilette, with notes of caramel and fruit mainly.
Love Don't Be Shy , by Killian : This fragrance combines marshmallow with orange blossom. This combination offers a delicious, honeyed and sweet accord.
Christmas Marshmallow , Parle Moi de Parfum : Like Proust's madeleine, this fragrance offers a regressive marshmallow accord combined with spicy and floral orange notes for a true return to childhood. This unisex composition allows both women and men to wrap themselves in softness.
This eau de parfum has also been interpreted as a candle to offer a soft and comforting olfactory ambiance, thus completing the range of marshmallow home fragrances.
Some children's perfumes feature gourmand accords like marshmallow, which are most often interpreted as eau de cologne.
