Accord
Aldehydic
3 fragrances with this accord
Family Floral
Rose, jasmine, tuberose, iris — from soliflores to bouquets, fruity and aldehydic florals.
The aldehydic accord comes from aldehydes — synthetic molecules with a scent of cleanliness, starched linen, soap lather and a barely metallic sparkle. Chanel N°5 made them famous in 1921: aldehydes “lifted” the floral bouquet and made it radiant.
They sound sparkling, bright and a little vintage — like the air after a cool iron. Modern perfumers use aldehydes more subtly: to add volume to flowers and a freshly-laundered feel to musk.
