About Mediterranean Scrub Accord
Mediterranean Scrub Accord evokes the maquis, a dense shrubland found along Mediterranean coasts. Hot, dry summers and rainy winters support a landscape of closely growing evergreen bushes, shrubs and occasional trees; the accord takes this landscape, rather than one individual plant, as its subject.
Scent Profile
Its character suggests aromatic leaves and herbal greenery alongside the dry texture of sun-warmed branches and wood. Fresh vegetation and warmer woody impressions give the landscape different layers. The meeting of those textures provides a way to picture a coastal shrubland through scent, where green leaves and dry woody growth occupy the same setting.
Use in Perfumery
The accord can accompany citrus, blackcurrant and fresh green notes, adding the character of vegetation to brighter fruit. Sichuan pepper introduces a citrus-edged spicy accent alongside that aromatic greenery. In a composition with seaweed, ginger and cedarwood, the shrubland impression can connect the salty character of the coast with a wooded landscape. These combinations bring fruit, herbs, spice, marine accents and dry woods into contact, allowing different parts of a Mediterranean scene to be expressed together.
