Herbal Accord

A herbal fragrance accord typically captures the earthy, green, and often slightly medicinal qualities of aromatic herbs. These scents are invigorating and refreshing, reminiscent of a walk through a lush garden or a dense forest. Principal notes in a herbal accord often include basil, rosemary, sage, mint, thyme, and lavender, which provide a crisp, clean freshness. These herbal notes might be combined with citrusy elements like bergamot or lemon for added brightness and sparkle.

In the development of a herbal fragrance, these scents can be layered with woody or floral undertones to add depth and complexity. For example, cedarwood or sandalwood can add warmth and richness, while lighter floral notes like chamomile or jasmine can soften and balance the sharpness of the herbs. The overall effect is both soothing and rejuvenating, making herbal fragrances popular in aromatherapy for their supposed calming and restorative properties. This type of fragrance can be tailored for both masculine and feminine scents, depending on the accompanying accords.
