About iced accord
The iced accord is a modern perfumery invention that aims to capture the essence of coldness in a fragrance. Unlike traditional notes derived directly from natural sources, the iced accord is often achieved through a combination of synthetic components designed to evoke the crisp, invigorating sensation of ice or frost. This note is used primarily in top notes to provide an immediate cooling effect, setting the stage for a refreshing fragrance experience. It's particularly popular in summer perfumes or fragrances intended for a revitalizing effect.
Synthetic Alternatives
The iced accord is primarily a synthetic creation, designed through the use of aroma chemicals that mimic the sensation of cold. These may include menthol derivatives or other compounds that have a cooling effect on the skin and olfactory receptors.
Perfumer's Tips
Use sparingly at the top of the fragrance composition to introduce a burst of freshness without overwhelming the other notes. It pairs well with aquatic and citrus notes to enhance the feeling of freshness and purity.
