Solar Accord

Warm, creamy & gourmand

Solar Accord is a fragrance primer: a lightweight, scented dry body oil that you put on before your perfume. Layers under amber, sandalwood and vanilla.

Made for layering, not for longevity.

I won’t promise that your perfume lasts longer, the promise most perfume primers are sold on. A Scent Primer does two things I can stand behind: it leaves your skin soft and hydrated in seconds, with no greasy feel, and it carries a soft note of its own that blends with the perfume you already own.

How Solar Accord layers.

Two directions
Tropical paradise

With solar florals (frangipani, tiaré, jasmine) or citrus (bergamot, lime): a beach holiday on your skin.

Warm spice

With amber, sandalwood or vanilla perfumes: a cosy, seductive evening.

My ritual

Smooth Solar Accord over your shoulders, arms and chest after an evening shower. In the morning, spray your amber or vanilla perfume on top: creamy coconut milk and bourbon vanilla sit softly underneath, like a warm second layer.

Perfumes it layers under.
