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.

- Tada Parfumeur Lost in a Fluffy Nest EDP - When the world outside gets too loud, Fenni retreats into her fluffy little nest, a small, quiet space where nothing can hurt her.

Like a quiet kind of care that asks for nothing, only stays beside you when you’re not okay. Though a bandage hides her wounds, Fenni still believes that fragility isn’t a weakness, but simply another shape that beauty can take. And if you happen to wander into her nest, this scent is Fenni’s little gift to you, a gentle reminder that it’s perfectly okay to feel vulnerable sometimes. Lost in a Fluffy Nest features top notes of grape, bergamot and cotton candy; middle notes of geranium, jasmine, rose and aldehydes; and base notes of lily of the valley, musk and ambrette seed.
