Aromatic accord
The aromatic accord, a long love story. Perfumery as it exists today is the result of several millennia of scent discoveries and olfactory research. Indeed, women were drawn very early on to the use of natural products to enhance their beauty. In antiquity, they already used all sorts of products derived from nature to reveal their potential for seduction. Aromatic herbs were already part of this. These ingredients were also used for their medicinal virtues and their divine significance. Indeed, as far back as ancient Egypt, aromatic herbs were used to win the favor of the gods. The Greeks burned them as offerings.
Later, aromatic herbs also served as raw materials for revealing predictions. The first true fragrant accords for beauty products appeared in the Middle Ages, a trend that grew considerably in the 17th century. From then on, aromatic herbs became part of the composition of the traditional Eau de Cologne, extremely popular in the last century and forming the beginnings of perfumery as it exists today. In other words, the aromatic accord is a scent that is almost woven into our DNA. It is a timeless classic that appeals to every generation, whether the audience is female or male.
