Description

Leather Accord is a sophisticated fragrance composition designed to recreate the distinctive character of fine leather.

It combines smoky, dry, woody, warm, leathery and suede-like facets to create a deep and luxurious fragrance effect. Depending on its formulation, the accord can range from soft and elegant suede to darker, smoky and more rugged leather.

Leather accords are highly versatile in modern perfumery and can add depth, character and sensuality to fragrance compositions. They are particularly effective in woody, oriental, amber, chypre and niche-style fragrances.

Perfumers' Tip

Leather Accord is ideal for creating a rich, dark and sophisticated leather effect. Combine it with Labdanum, Birch Tar and Cade for a smoky, rugged leather character, or use Suede materials, Sandalwood and soft musks for a smoother interpretation.

For a luxurious floral-leather fragrance, pair Leather Accord + Rose + Jasmine + Saffron + Sandalwood. Patchouli, Vetiver and Cedarwood can add earthy woody depth, while Ambroxan provides a modern diffusive drydown.

Use leather accords carefully at higher concentrations, as their powerful character can quickly dominate a composition.
