White sugared almond is a gourmand note recreated synthetically. It is delightfully sweet—evoking the joyful playfulness of childhood. The scent is a celebration of the nutty warmth of almonds and the teasing sweetness of sugar.
The delights of sugared almonds first bestowed the taste buds of those living in the quaint city of Verdun in 1220 AD when an apothecary stumbled across the recipe. He needed to find a way to conserve almonds during transportation, and thus had the idea of coating the nuts with sugar and honey that hardened when cooked.
