I'm looking for an almond scent to mimic an old family recipe containing almond paste, so I'm looking for a sweet almond pastry type scent. BB's almond biscotti is close, but has some bitter undertones that make it "off." Any suggestions for a baked good type of almond? Thanks!

how about adding a plain "sweet" kind of scent to counter the bitter?

I've also been looking for a good Almond scent without the bitter after tones. This I think makes it smell a bit too much like marzipan. You cannot really mask this out, you need to find a scent without it.
L'Occitane have a lovely fragrance for their Almond Shower Oil. It is I believe based on Coumarin (named after the tonka bean)... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coumarin
It's hard to obtain. I've looked around for something that can replicate it.

From Nature With Love has a Roasted Nuts that smells like almonds without that "cherry" smell that most almonds have. But that fo does contain phthalates, I don't know if that matters to you or not, but just thought I'd mention it just in case.
