Electro-Statical Accord
Note Profile
About
Electro-statical accord is an abstract accord that stands for the smell of statically charged material. It is a technology note, not a plant or a distillate. Parfumo describes an early version as being worked up from the smell of heated polyester in a tumble dryer and of freshly opened computer hardware.
Scent Profile
Electro Statical Accord smells fresh and ozonic, like the air after a static spark. A charged metal, mineral note sits underneath, close to a device casing fresh out of its box. A trace of scorched plastic gives it a faint smoky edge, and an abrasive, sparking sharpness sits on top. A warm, heated polyester note runs through it too, close to a dryer load of fresh laundry.

Origin
Nobody sells this as a raw material. It is a perfumer's construction that names an effect rather than a formula, so its composition is not published and varies by house. The documented starting point is domestic and industrial rather than natural: hot synthetic fabric and new electronics. Parfumo records the note on 40 perfumes and says it often runs through the whole pyramid rather than sitting in one tier.
Usage in Perfumery
One writing about Oriflame Luminescence says that if you survive the electrostatic chord it gets really nice, which is a fair summary of how the accord is deployed: a sharp gate in front of a softer fragrance.
