History

Sweet accords have been present in perfumery since the use of natural resins and balsams in early scent-making. The modern sweet accord gained prominence in the late 20th century with the introduction of synthetic notes like ethyl-maltol, which enabled the creation of pronounced candy-like fragrances. Gourmand perfumes of the 1990s and 2000s further popularized this accord.

In Perfumery

Perfumers use the sweet accord to add warmth, roundness, and an inviting quality to fragrances, often in the heart or base. It is commonly paired with floral, fruity, or oriental notes to enhance richness and depth. Sweet accords are especially prevalent in gourmand, oriental, and some modern floral compositions.
