The Full Story

Mascarpone is an Italian cream cheese with an extremely high butterfat content (60-75%) and a mild, buttery sweetness with virtually no acidity. In perfumery, the mascarpone note suggests concentrated dairy creaminess without the tang of aged cheese. Built from butter lactones (delta-decalactone, gamma-decalactone), mild lactic notes, and creamy-smooth vanillic undertones.
