About Daiginjo Accord
Daiginjo Accord takes the aroma of daiginjo sake as its subject. Daiginjo is a type of Japanese sake made with highly polished rice and low-temperature fermentation. Its distinctive fruity fragrance provides an aromatic idea that can be expressed within a perfume composition.
Scent Profile
The starting point is ginjo aroma, a fruity character that can suggest banana and apple. Esters formed during sake fermentation include compounds with these fruit-like odours. A daiginjo accord brings together the impression of fruit and the character associated with the drink, allowing the beverage theme to sit alongside sweeter fragrance materials.
Use in Perfumery
The accord can appear in the heart of a fruity gourmand composition, connecting banana and fruit smoothie impressions with chocolate. Cocoa and chocolate bar notes add richer dessert textures, while spicy vanilla and musk contribute softer expressions around the fruit and beverage theme.
Did You Know?
Ginjo aroma includes banana-like isoamyl acetate and apple-like ethyl caproate. These compounds arise during fermentation, explaining how a rice-based drink can develop a fruity aroma without the addition of fruit.
