A sour fragrance accord is characterized by sharp, tart notes that invigorate the senses and evoke a sense of freshness. It typically blends citric elements like lemon, lime, and grapefruit, integrating nuances of green apples or vinegars for an enhanced acidic profile. This accord often incorporates the natural sourness of rhubarb, berries, or tamarind to enrich complexity. The sharpness is sometimes softened by subtle floral or sweet layers to create a balanced, lively bouquet. Ideal for creating a vibrant and energetic atmosphere, sour accords are prominent in summer fragrances or as uplifting top notes in perfumes that aim to offer zesty freshness that captivates and energizes.
