A rum note is usually an accord: perfumers combine a sugar-cane sweetness, dried fruit, a touch of vanilla and a woody, slightly boozy warmth until the whole reads as rum. Some houses write it with the French spelling, rhum, and a few add a qualifier such as white, dark or barricaded. The result is sweet, but the sweetness has depth and a hint of heat, which sets it apart from the plain sugar of caramel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eQuick to open, slow to settle\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eRum likes the top of a pyramid.
