Description

Petitgrain Accord is a fresh and elegant fragrance composition inspired by the characteristic aroma of petitgrain, traditionally associated with the leaves and young twigs of bitter orange trees.

It combines green, citrusy, woody, herbal and slightly floral facets, creating a crisp botanical character that is fresher and more woody than a typical sweet citrus note.

Petitgrain Accord is highly versatile and is particularly useful in citrus, aromatic, green, fougère, floral and woody fragrances. It can provide a natural transition between sparkling citrus top notes and aromatic or woody heart notes.

Perfumers' Tip

Petitgrain Accord is excellent for creating a fresh, green and sophisticated citrus-aromatic effect. Pair it with Bergamot and Lemon for a sparkling citrus opening, or combine it with Neroli and Orange Blossom for a more floral interpretation.

For a classic aromatic fragrance, try Petitgrain Accord + Lavender + Clary Sage + Bergamot + Juniper Berry. Cedarwood and Vetiver can add dry woody depth, while soft musks provide a clean and smooth drydown.
