About cannabis accord
Cannabis accord as a fragrance note refers to the use of scents derived from the cannabis plant to add an herbal, slightly earthy, and sometimes controversial twist to perfumery. Despite its association with the psychoactive properties of marijuana, the cannabis note in perfumery focuses on the green, fresh, and somewhat spicy characteristics of the plant, without any narcotic effects. It's used in modern perfumery to convey a sense of boldness and avant-garde appeal, often in niche or artisanal creations. Its utilization reflects a growing trend towards more unconventional and nature-inspired notes.

Perfumer's Tips
Used sparingly as a top note, cannabis accord can introduce a fresh, intriguing opening to fragrances. It should be balanced with complementary notes to avoid overpowering the composition.
