Cake Base
Fragrance Base Ingredient for Perfumery
Cake Fragrance Base is a pre-formulated fragrance base designed to replicate the olfactory impression of freshly baked sponge cake, vanilla frosting, and buttery sugar cream. Developed through the combination of synthetic aroma chemicals—such as lactones, sweet aldehydes, and vanillin derivatives—this base delivers a rich, gourmand character with soft milky undertones and a subtle citrusy lift. It is widely used in youth-oriented fragrances, pastry-inspired cosmetic scents, and layering accords for sweet edible signatures.
Its creamy, round profile makes it suitable for masking synthetic harshness in floral formulas, while providing body, warmth, and comfort across gourmand-themed compositions.

What is Cake Fragrance Base?
Cake Fragrance Base is a pre-constructed fragrance base, formulated to deliver the indulgent sensory experience of fresh sponge cake, creamy frosting, and sweet vanilla pastry. It is composed of synthetic aroma molecules selected to evoke both edible familiarity and perfumery elegance, including lactones for creaminess, vanillin-type compounds for warmth, and citrusy top-note enhancers to maintain brightness.
As a base ingredient, it supports a wide range of applications—from fine fragrance to personal care—and is particularly effective in gourmand, nostalgic, and bakery-themed olfactive directions.
