Because it balances warmth with shadow, the ingredient naturally fits gender-inclusive storytelling. It allows creators to propose fragrances that feel comforting yet complex, indulgent yet refined—qualities that speak strongly to today’s consumer expectations. For niche and artisanal houses, Turkish Liquorise Absolue can serve as the signature detail that transforms a familiar gourmand or boozy theme into something collectable and contemporary. A MATERIAL THAT BRIDGES FRAGRANCE AND FLAVOUR Liquorice’s lineage extends far beyond perfumery. It is a long-standing hero in flavour creation, from confectionery and beverages to syrups and herbal formulations. Parkim leverages this duality through both its fragrance and flavour divisions. In flavours, Liquorice contributes depth, natural sweetness and roundness to beverages, candies, herbal blends and functional drinks. It is one of the defining notes within the Parkim Flavor portfolio. In fragrances, Turkish Liquorice Absolue expresses that same character with enhanced elegance and textural sophistication, aligning with fine fragrance, air care and premium personal-care applications. This shared heritage opens opportunities for multi-sensory branding. A brand may craft a signature beverage profile and mirror its character through a matching home scent or body-care offering. Liquorise, iconic and easily recognisable, becomes a unifying thread across categories. For innovation teams building immersive brand universes, few natural materials offer this kind of creative cohesion.
