Cotton candy is a spun sugar treat made with only air and colored sugar. Invented in 1897 by a dentist and a confectioner, it debuted at the 1904 St. Louis World’s Fair. It is also known as fairy floss, candy floss and papa’s beard. In perfume, it is a gourmand note built primarily from ethyl maltol, a synthetic compound providing a warm, sugary, caramel-like scent that recalls carnival treats. Often blended with vanilla, musk or red fruits, it creates an addictive, nostalgic aroma popular in sweet, playful fragrances.

Wharton introduced it to the world at the 1904 World's Fair in St. Louis and sold huge amounts of it for 25 cents a box. A lot of money back in those days. In fact, they sold about 70,000 boxes!
- Sweet Nothings Perfumery Burn’t Cotton Candy Perfume Oil - It blends the airy sweetness of cotton candy with the subtle warmth of charred embers. The result is a playful yet unexpected scent that feels like a carnival treat kissed by firelight.
