Whipped cream

Cream cannot be distilled; the note suggests sweetened whipped cream, which French menus call Chantilly: milky, airy and faintly of vanilla.

What it is

A food or a drink, not something extracted: perfumers build its smell from other materials.

Known in

Oriana (Parfums de Marly, 2021)

Worth knowing

Chantilly cream is often credited to François Vatel, steward at the Château de Chantilly, but the name is first tied to whipped cream about a century after him.
