The perfume accord is the ‘backbone‘ of the fragrance and consists of the main building blocks of the scent or olfactive creation.

The perfumer is evaluating the creation with a view to capturing the character of the scent, its top, middle and base note. Perfumers will also start to assess the scent over time, e.g. its dry-down, and how the accord evolves.

Equally, perfumers will try and relate the fragrance to other scents on the market to identify whether this particular perfume is an ‘evolution’, ‘revolution’ and/or whether it has an unusual ‘twists’.

The distinction whether a scent is suitable for a particular gender has become very fluid nowadays but it is still important.

Equally, just because one might say that a note is quite masculine in style, this does not mean that women won’t wear it or like it. The reverse is equally true.

This distinction is just a simple prop to better understand the fragrance.
