Forest Accord
Note Profile
About
Forest accord is a perfumers' blend, not a material. Parfumo files it under three of its own headings at once: Green notes, Nature accords and Woody notes. That is a classification rather than a smell, but it does say the note is not filed as purely green. The one first-hand account found of somebody building a forest accord is a Basenotes hobbyist who worked through pine, spruce, cedar, moss and resin materials over many attempts. He describes his result as 'The woods are there, the incense too, a little sweet but mature'. He also reports that raw pine and spruce pushed the blend toward 'urinal sour off notes', so green is a hazard in the build rather than the goal.
Scent Profile
Forest Accord smells of dry, resinous wood first, close to pine, spruce and cedar. A green note runs through it, second only to the wood. Underneath sits a warm incense of amber and balsam next to a faint smoky edge. A damp, mossy forest-floor earthiness sits at the base, and a cool, conifer freshness lifts the top.

Origin
An accord name. No supplier sells it, no datasheet exists, and no two perfumers build it the same way. Every use is a house formula.
Usage in Perfumery
Measured 2026-08-23 against the local Parfumo snapshot: 4 placements across 4 brands, and none on Fragrantica. Parfumo's own live page for the note reports a much larger figure, 230 perfumes, so treat the 4 as a floor. The placements sit in all three positions: two top, one heart, one base. What it is blended with is the useful part: frankincense, patchouli, amber, cedarwood, sandalwood, cypress, cedar leaf, birch, tar and crystallised moss. In Tiziana Terenzi Ecstasy it appears alongside Spruce and Pine in the same list.
