“My soul is transported by
perfume as the souls of other men by music” Charles Baudelaire
To rediscover the timeless universe of perfume,
way beyond the fashion of the moment, with an emphasis on accessible
pricing.
Curiously enough, we do not have enough words to describe
fragrances. This is why we have to borrow
from the vocabularies of music or painting to describe fragrances and perfumes
in their infinite subtlety.
We talk of perfumed notes or compositions, or use the analogy
of an artist’s palette, since perfumers compose their creations in the same way
as musicians or painters.
Since the 16th century the music of western civilisation has been composed
around the ‘perfect major chord’ and this is the basic concept of our
range.
In perfumery, a chord is a fragrance effect created by a
combination of two or more notes. The quality of the harmony produced depends on
the proportional balance between these fragrance notes.
The great history of perfumes revolves around such “perfect
chords”, simple chords which create a feeling of perfect harmony.
There are hundreds of them and now, with the Accord Parfait collection, contemporary
perfumers want to share with you some of the most beautiful and timeless of
these ‘perfect chords’.
You are invited to experience fragrances which are not
influenced by the fashion of the moment; to rediscover natural harmony and
simplicity.
Reasonably priced, they will give more choice to existing
lovers of perfume or offer an introduction to those entering the world of
fragrance for the first time.
