Accord
Balsamic accord
A balsamic accord is the sweet, warm, resinous feel of balsams and resins. It deepens a blend and helps it last.
How a Balsamic accord is built
Balsamic warmth comes from resins and from benzoate and cinnamate esters that recall them. Placed in the base, they add sweetness and help other notes last. Vanillic materials often join them.
