Animalic & Leather · 75 fragrances

leather is a animalic & leather accord, recorded in 75 fragrances in the Codex. Accords carry a weight rather than a simple yes/no flag: a high weight means the accord dominates how the fragrance reads, while a low weight means it appears as a supporting texture. Fragrances where it dominates sit mostly in the woody family.
