Accord
Powdery accord
A powdery accord recalls face powder and soft, dry petals. It softens a blend and leaves a velvety, slightly cosmetic finish.
How a Powdery accord is built
A powdery effect comes from combining orris-like materials, ionones and heliotrope-type notes with soft musks. Vanillic or coumarin-like sweetness rounds it off, giving the familiar feel of face powder.
