Leather Accord
Leather Accord is a rich, warm fragrance ingredient used in perfumes and scented beauty products to create a sophisticated, sensual aroma reminiscent of supple leather.
How it works in skincare
In cosmetics and skincare, Leather Accord is a carefully blended fragrance composition typically built from synthetic aroma chemicals such as birch tar, castoreum replacers, and smoky woody notes. It is used sparingly in fine fragrances, body lotions, and scented creams to add depth, warmth and a luxurious dry-down that enhances the overall scent profile without overpowering the formulation.

Where it comes from
Leather Accord is a synthetic fragrance recreation rather than a single natural extract. It is inspired by traditional tanning processes and natural materials such as birch bark tar and animal-derived notes, now produced in the laboratory using safe, cruelty-free aroma chemicals.
