Bacon perfumes
The bacon accord is a scent family that evokes the fatty, salty, smoky and slightly sweet smell of smoked meat sizzling in a pan, and it appears only in experimental perfumery. It gives a fragrance a surprising, food-like character.
The effect is usually built with smoky materials such as birch tar and guaiacol, salty notes, fatty aldehydes, and sweet maple- or caramel-like notes. Bacon notes are mostly felt in the heart and base. They pair often with smoky, leather, salty, caramel and woody accords. Rather than everyday wear, bacon-accented fragrances appeal to people who enjoy scent experiments and unusual experiences.
The Bacon accord appears in 8 perfumes in the Fisfis catalogue. Below are the most popular scents where it leads.
