About fruit accord
Fruit Accord refers to a complex blend of synthetic and natural ingredients designed to mimic the aroma of fruits in perfumery. This olfactory group is diverse, encompassing a wide range of scents from the citrusy sharpness of lemons to the lush sweetness of ripe peaches. Fruity notes are celebrated for their versatility and can add a burst of freshness, a sweet allure, or a tangy edge to a fragrance. They are often used as top notes due to their volatile nature, greeting the wearer with an immediate sense of refreshment. However, they can also be found in heart and base notes, contributing to the fragrance's overall complexity and depth. In modern perfumery, fruit accords are ingeniously crafted to evoke specific moods or seasons, making them integral to the narrative of a scent.

Perfumer's Tips
Fruit accords are typically used to inject vibrancy and freshness into a fragrance. They are most effective as top notes where their impact is immediate and inviting.
