Accord skeleton

Amber leads the OLFx reconstruction by share, followed by Woody. Floral adds a lighter counterweight, and Musk completes the four-part accord structure. These broad groups are OLFx's design map, not the olfactory notes published by Maison Francis Kurkdjian. The house names Hedione, Ambroxan™ and Saffron and describes further facets in its own text. The two blocks keep the reference distinct from OLFx's architecture.
