Butter

Butter in perfumery refers to rich, creamy, and often natural fatty substances extracted from plant or animal sources. It serves as a base or fixative to enhance fragrance longevity and add smooth, velvety texture to compositions. Popular butter ingredients include shea butter, cocoa butter, and mango butter, which impart subtle gourmand, nutty, or milky nuances. Butter can mellow sharp top notes and create a warm, comforting feel, making it valuable in crafting soft, enveloping perfumes and body products.
