Accord
Musky accord
A musky accord is the soft, clean, skin-like warmth of musks. It sits at the base, smooths a blend and lingers close to the skin.
How a Musky accord is built
Musky accords blend several musks, because each has a different character and people perceive them differently. Macrocyclic musks give a soft, skin-like warmth and others a cleaner, laundry-like feel. They usually sit in the base and also smooth the whole blend.
