Demo Accords

Olfiction's first book, written by perfumer-author Pia Long, with contributions from Nick Gilbert.

Part manifesto, part polemic, part protest, part autobiography - the common thread is radical vulnerability of the perfumer’s art, practice and personal views.

Demo Accords offers a unique way to approach and understand perfumery - each chapter is accompanied by a fully published fragrance formula, as well as a description of the fragrance as though it were the kind of product the fragrance represents. The sample set allows you to smell along with the chapter - and learn the difference between notes lists and ingredients.
