AMBER ACCORD

In this class, we will explore the amber accord—one of the most evocative and shape-shifting categories in perfumery. Often described as warm, resinous, and sensual, amber doesn’t refer to a single ingredient but rather a constructed impression. Traditionally associated with opulence and mystery, amber accords have found new relevance in today’s fragrance market, where bold signatures, long-lasting compositions, and cozy, skin-like scents are increasingly in demand. 

This session will break down the anatomy of an amber accord. You’ll learn to work with key materials to shape tone, texture, and projection. We’ll also explore the interplay between sweetness, warmth, and darkness, and how to build an amber accord.
