Heat and depth — the spice-trade warmth of amber, tobacco, and incense.
Edible warmth — vanilla, caramel, and the balsamic sweetness that anchors oriental blends.

The foundational fragrance archetypes — chypre, fougère, resinous, and herbal.
An accord is a blended olfactory impression — distinct from individual ingredients (notes), an accord is the character a fragrance projects. "Woody" doesn't mean a fragrance contains wood; it means the combined effect of its ingredients reads as woody to the nose. Accords are reported by the fragrance community based on lived experience wearing the scent.
Notes are the ingredients — bergamot, sandalwood, jasmine. Accords are the impressions those ingredients create together. A fragrance can list rose as a heart note but project as "powdery" rather than "floral" depending on what surrounds it. Accords describe the experience; notes describe the recipe.
On every fragrance page, Gush displays the top accords as horizontal bars, ranked by community consensus. You can click any accord to explore other fragrances that share the same olfactory DNA — a powerful way to find your next bottle.
