Fresh perfumes

The fresh accord covers scents that evoke cool air, clean laundry, cold water or freshly cut greenery, giving a fragrance lightness and clarity. It is less a single note than an overall cool, airy impression.

The effect is usually built from citrus oils, mint and aromatic herbs, clean citrus-woody molecules such as dihydromyrcenol, marine notes like Calone and light musks. Freshness is most noticeable in the top and heart notes. It pairs with citrus, aquatic, green, aromatic and fresh spicy accords. Fresh fragrances are a common choice for hot weather, workouts, the office and daytime, and for anyone who wants a clean impression that stays in the background.

The Fresh accord appears in 33,262 perfumes in the Fisfis catalogue. Below are the most popular scents where it leads.
