Not all nice things smell like flowers. Some of the most compelling fragrances are come from materials that challenge, unsettle and intrigue. Materials that smell like something other than perfume.

The Eccentric Bases Bundle collects six accords drawn from the stranger end of the aromatic spectrum. Each one reconstructs a scent that would be difficult, expensive, impossible or immoral(!) to source in its natural form. Smelling them is about expanding your understanding of what fragrance can do and where it can go.

Mushroom Accord 5ml
Earthy and damp

Seaweed Accord 5ml
Briny, marine, and ozonic with a cool green edge

Animalic Accord 5ml
Musky and dirty, like being on a farm

Dairy Accord 5ml
Creamy, milky, and faintly sour.

Savoury Accord 5ml
Umami, starchy and deeply unexpected in a fragrance context

Rice Accord 5ml
Like freshly cooked rice

The easiest way to explore these is straight from the bottle or on a blotter, and note how similar or different they are from their real world inspiration.

If you want to experiment with blending, dilute to around 10% in perfumer's alcohol or DPG first, then start adding drop by drop to a composition. Most of these accords are surprisingly effective at low levels in a formula; they add a facet rather than define the whole thing. Full technical details and blending notes are on each individual product page.

All accords are concentrated fragrance materials intended for use in perfumery and formulation.
For external use only. Do not ingest. Dilute before skin application and perform a patch test before wider use.
Keep out of reach of children and pets. Store tightly sealed in a cool, dark place.
