**Popcorn (SC) (Nomz) 1.5% (5-15-24)** -- It's safe to say that Popcorns" are tricky, or everyone would be making them. This one was in the "ballpark" of a Popcorn, but it was fairly light, and not entirely all of the way there. Clearly there were some popcorn elements in there, but I don't think it could be the star in a popcorn mix. There were no overt butter notes, but there was a certain richness that implied there was some in there. It was somewhat sweetened, but quite a bit below mid level. Smelling it, there was an almost light AP note, and an almost toasted popcorn kernel smell that was very accurate, but it didn't fully translate when testing it. With no real off-notes to complain about, I think this one would def work IN a mix, but would need some pairings/boosting to fully work. All in, a good, light, "some of the way there" popcorn flavor, that would work great, with some support. Because I score heavily on accuracy, I'm going to push this one up a bit, but not near the top, and leave it at a **6.9/10**."
