Brown Sugar.

Damp molasses sweetness, warm and slightly toasted.

Our read on the material, not a measurement.

What it smells like.

Brown sugar is sweetness with moisture in it: molasses, a little toasted, warmer and rounder than white sugar. It smells of baking rather than confectionery.

It gives gourmand blends their comfort and it holds well on skin. On its own it is one-dimensional, so it wants something dry or boozy beside it to give the sweetness some shape.

Brown sugar is a built note: the molasses depth of dark sugar reconstructed over vanilla and caramel materials. It differs from caramel the way the pantry versions do, less burnt, more syrupy, and it exists in our palette to give gourmand builds weight without smoke.
