Cotton Candy

Gustatory, sweet, back to childhood.

A deliciously sweet gourmand note, reminiscent of youthful days spent among the bright lights of local fairgrounds. The cotton candy note is primarily based on ethyl maltol, with its characteristically warm, sickly-sweet facets of caramelized sugar. An enticing, vanilla-like fragrance of sticky yet powdery nuances.

History

Originally created in 1897 by dentist William Morrison and confectioner John C. Wharton, cotton candy has been a fairground staple since its first grandiose début at the St. Louis World's Fair in 1904. The delightfully sweet, fluffy confectionary is made with two simple ingredients: air and colored sugar. Sugar is heated until it melts, and then spun into fine strands before being served on a stick or in a cone.
