The scents within the accord

Sandalwood

Sandalwood is a soft, creamy wood note with milky, warm and gently dry facets. It can suggest polished wood and a rounded texture rather than the sharpness of fresh sawdust.

cedar

Cedar suggests dry wood, pencil shavings and a clean, gently resinous warmth. Some cedar materials are soft and ambery, while others have a sharper, almost smoky outline.

musk

Musk can suggest clean fabric, warm skin, soft powder or a rounded, gently animalic warmth. Different musk materials have distinct fruity, floral, woody or creamy facets.

How it works in a fragrance

The materials combine different textures rather than behaving as isolated layers. Dryness, warmth and softness can be emphasized in different proportions, changing the accord’s outline and the way it supports the rest of a perfume.
