The core ingredients that make up a perfume are often misunderstood. For example, a lemon scent will not just be made up of lemons, it will in fact have other scent facets to open and bring alive a truly full lemon freshness to the fragrance. In perfumery, the core of a perfume like this will be made up of what would be referred to as an Accord. The interesting thing about accords is that now perfumers are exploring the ideas of giving customers Accords as an almost slight form of perfume so that the wearer can decide exactly what they like ingredient-wise and also, to build their own fragrance by layering any together. There is a new profusion of customer lead versions, with the newest by The Merchant of Venice <\/em>perfumery who have just launched one of the best versions of this idea to the market.

Have you ever had the joyous experience of smelling the scent of orange blossom on a tree in spring? If you have you will know it is intoxicating. Rich heady sweetness with a touch of green clubs together in these small clusters of tiny flower bundles, dotted through the branches. The season is very short only about two weeks a year but what a delicious two weeks it is. It is exquisite ingredients like this that are now being celebrated with this a new collection of Accords that are truly sustainable and celebrate the very artistry of the perfume brand The Merchant of Venice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This Venitian company with a deep and rich history in the art of perfumery have bought together a true celebration of ingredients at the very heart of this art form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In perfumery, there is something called a perfume wheel, a circular diagram showing the different groups perfume comes under. This fragrance wheel is frequently used as a classification tool in perfumery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Although the groupings are much more extensive now with add ons such as gourmands the basic four initially used would be Florals, Ambery Notes (here referred to as Oriental notes which also include vanilla, musk, spices) Fresh Green and Woods. In the very early days of perfumery, in Italy, which goes back before even Roman times, three key areas would have been commonly used. Florals, Fresh and Woods, with the Ambers coming into use much more common in the 17th century.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By exploring these four centre points of the perfumery wheel Merchant of Venice has created a collection that empowers the user to not just create their own layered fragrance but also teach about what the core of a scent really smells like, allowing each person to identify for themselves what ingredients really work for them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On top of that and very importantly, this new project has very green and sustainable elements. Each of the Accords has been created not just with the very golden ingredients within the field, i.e the very best the world had to offer, but each is sustainably sourced with known partners who invest in the longevity of production with the best farming practice. Packing for the boxes is made from biodegradable paper obtained from algae. The raw material in the elixir and the whole container are each treated with reverence to our sacred world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So the four key groups have been explored in twos here, to provide eight different scents to not just explore and engage with but also to layer. Both self-lead perfumery and laying are big trends now but they are not often simple for the user however this collection really hits the mark.
