History

Wine-inspired accords have appeared in perfumery since the late 19th century, often used to capture the luxurious and sensual atmosphere associated with fine wines. Their development was influenced by advances in aroma chemistry, allowing perfumers to recreate the nuanced scent of wine without using actual wine extracts.

In Perfumery

Perfumers use wine accords to add complexity and depth, especially in oriental, chypre, and gourmand fragrances. They are commonly paired with fruity, woody, or mossy notes such as plum, blackcurrant, and oakmoss, and typically appear in the heart or base of a composition to provide richness and a sense of warmth.
