Building a Layered System

A customer-proven formula: Dulce De Leche Custard RY4: RY4, Vanilla Pudding, Dulce De Leche, Graham Cracker, Sweetness, and Caramel at 12:8:6:5:4:4, a dulce de leche custard with RY4 and graham. Set the lead leaf first, then layer support and accent notes, and lock the ratio at bench scale.

Formulation Notes

RY4 grows richer with rest; mix ahead and taste after two to three weeks. Pairings shift the consumer experience: with custard and caramel, RY4 feels comforting and indulgent, a fireside dessert. With mint it turns sophisticated, and on a date night it becomes wistful.

Approach

Start small: bench test in your own base at the starting points below, build in small steps, and lock the ratio between flavors before scaling. As the lead leaf RY4 sits higher in each range; as a support note, lower.

Usage by Application

• Beverages (non-alcoholic, alcoholic, functional): 0.03-1.5% of the finished beverage; start at 0.1%. An accent in coffee and smoky cocktails; add post-fermentation for beer and cider.
• Custom syrups: 2% or stronger (1 part flavor to 50 parts syrup); start at 2%. Build syrups at full strength and dose to taste.
• Baking and bakery: 0.2-3% by weight of batter or dough; start at 0.5%. A depth note under caramel and chocolate; add with the wet ingredients.
• Frostings, fillings, dairy, and frozen: 0.1-2% by weight; start at 0.3%. Leaf notes read strongly in dairy, so stay low; taste frozen bases at serving temperature.
• Candy and confectionery: 0.2-4% by weight; start at 0.5%. Add at the end of the cook as the batch cools; smoky caramels and toffees carry leaf notes well.
• Nicotine pouches: 0.3-3% of pouch fill weight; start at 0.5%. Compatible with MCC and common humectants; leaf profiles are a natural fit for pouch fill. Test release over 20-40 minutes.
• Functional oral pouches: 0.3-3% of pouch fill weight; start at 0.5%. Pair with a sweet partner to round the leaf note.
• Fishing bait: 0.5-5% or higher by weight of bait; start at 1%. Earthy notes suit dough baits; denser matrices hold more.
• Animal attractants: 1-5% or higher by weight of attractant; start at 2%. Solid blocks carry higher loads than sprays.
• Home aroma (candles, diffusers, room sprays): 1-5% by weight of wax or base; start at 2%. Test pours confirm scent throw before production.
