Spicy accords

2 perfumes

Spicy accords inject an immediate, vibrant energy into a fragrance, characterized by sharp, biting, or warming sensations that range from the dry, woody heat of black pepper to the sweet, resinous glow of cardamom and cinnamon. Belonging to the Oriental-Spicy family, these notes act as a bridge between top and heart notes, adding texture and complexity. They pair naturally with citrus notes like bergamot to provide a crisp opening, or with creamy sandalwood to soften their intensity. In the Gulf, spicy accords are essential for balancing the density of heavy oils; they are favored during the cooler winter months and evening gatherings, where their diffusive nature cuts through the desert air, providing a sophisticated, lingering trail that feels both traditional and modern.
