Pizza as a perfumery concept captures the layered aromas of Neapolitan pizza: charred dough (Maillard products), tomato (2-isobutylthiazole), melted mozzarella (diacetyl, butyric acid traces), dried oregano (carvacrol, thymol), and olive oil. Used in conceptual and novelty perfumery. The note is more cultural reference than serious ingredient.
