Lokum Accord

About Lokum Accord

Lokum, also known as Turkish delight, is a softer confection with a jelly-like texture, often cut into small cubes and dusted with icing sugar. It comes in many flavours, including rosewater, giving a familiar connection between sweeter food and the fragrance of flowers. A lokum accord brings that confectionery setting into perfumery through the relationship between softer sweetness and a more delicate floral character.

Scent Profile

**A gentler rosewater character meets sugar-like sweetness.** The impression moves beyond the freshness of rose petals toward a rounder, more confectionery texture. Powdered sugar can provide a useful sensory comparison for its softer surface, while the flowers give the sweetness a more distinct outline. That relationship differs from the denser, more baked character associated with richer pastries, allowing a lighter floral sweetness to remain expressive.

Use in Perfumery

Lokum accords can give rose-centred perfumes or gourmand compositions a softer confectionery setting. Musk can strengthen the smoother texture, while woods can give the sweetness a drier and more defined contour. With rose, the accord can connect a fuller floral character with a more sugar-like warmth. Those contrasts offer different ways to retain the pleasure of sweeter notes while giving the flowers room to contribute their own more varied expression.
