The story behind the bottle.
Nathalie Lorson's Chords by Thameen is a complex composition that marries the sweet, honeyed warmth of its top notes with the earthy richness of its base. Launched in 2024, this fragrance opens with bergamot and orange blossom, creating an initial burst of citrus and floral freshness. As these lighter notes fade, the scent settles into a more profound and sensual blend of leather, tobacco, and woody accords, offering a rich blend that is both comforting and alluring.
Chords has an immediate sweet-honeyed top note that fades quickly, so layer it by applying to pulse points for maximum longevity. The tobacco and leather notes develop over time, making this fragrance perfect for evening wear or indoor settings where the scent can unfold fully without being overwhelmed.
