ABOUT

Varnish Accord evokes the scent of fresh and cured lacquer: glossy and resinous with a sharp solvent-like topnote, faint metallic or plastic facets, and a dry, warm, somewhat smoky woody-resin base. Perfumers use it sparingly to lend a polished, industrial or patent-leather sheen—adding dryness, tenacity and a modern synthetic edge to woods, leathers and amber accords or to recreate lacquered furniture and urban, lacquered textures.

The allure of Special/Abstract fragrances lies in their ability to surprise and intrigue, making them a favorite among those seeking distinctive and avant-garde scent profiles.
