LIQUORICE AND THE ERA OF THE ‘GROWN-UP GOURMAND’ Across the global fragrance landscape, one of the most striking shifts has been the evolution of gourmands. What once leaned towards bright, playful, sugar-forward signatures has matured into a new category—the grown-up, trendy edible gourmand. These compositions explore darker textures, roasted tones, subtle sweetness and fluid gender positioning. Turkish Liquorise Absolue fits seamlessly into this evolution. IN BOOZY ACCORDS: The material enriches rum, whisky and liqueur effects with dryness and depth, adding a refined “aged” character. It prevents these notes from becoming overtly sugary, keeping the composition sophisticated and wearable. IN WOODY AND MINERAL STRUCTURES: Liquorise Absolue acts as a soft binder, smoothing the junctions between vetiver, patchouli, cedar, amber and mineral woods. Its starchy warmth creates a polished finish, lending luxury to the base. IN ORIENTAL, LEATHER AND TOBACCO DIRECTIONS: Its roasted, balsamic facet bridges spices, resins and tobacco notes, giving an intimate warmth on the skin. It adds richness without heaviness, an increasingly rare quality. AT SUBTLE DOSAGES : Even in small amounts, the material enhances volume, hum and texture in the heart and base. It becomes an invisible architect, strengthening the composition’s structure without declaring its presence. This versatility makes Turkish Liquorise Absolue an appealing tool for perfumers designing niche, premium and gender-fluid fragrances—categories where nuance, depth and originality are essential. A MATERIAL THAT EXPANDS STORYTELLING POSSIBILITIES In modern perfumery, raw materials are valued not only for their technical performance but also for the worlds they help creators build. Turkish Liquorise Absolue is particularly rich in narrative potential. Its character supports: DARK FLORALS: where its earthy sweetness pairs beautifully with black orchid, violet, ylang-ylang and orchid-inspired accords. SPICED WOODS AND RESINS: enhancing incense, olibanum, labdanum and myrrh themes. INK, LEATHER AND MINERAL UNIVERSES: where its dry, rooty nuance adds texture and sophistication. MODERN GOURMAND CONCEPTS: for brands seeking new territory beyond vanilla-tonka classics. P A R F U M P L U S 26
