Kewra, a fragrant flower with many names (Keora, Kewda, Thalampoo), has been captivating senses for centuries across Southeast Asia. Its unique aroma, reminiscent of a delicate blend of metallic, green, and chrysanthemum notes, has made it a cherished ingredient in traditional cuisine, religious ceremonies, and perfumery. The flower's essence, often extracted through hydro distillation, yields Kewra essential oil and Kewra water or "Kewra Jal," prized for its culinary and therapeutic applications.

In perfumery, Kewra offers a distinctive and exotic touch, evoking images of lush tropical landscapes and ancient traditions. Its complex aroma profile makes it a versatile ingredient, capable of enhancing both floral and woody compositions. In this article we explore ways to capture its essence in a captivating accord using key Kewra ingredients mentioned below.

The Kewra Accord: A Perfumer's Delight

Kewra's unique aroma is primarily attributed to two key aroma chemicals: Kewra Ether/Phenyl Ethyl Methyl Ether (aka PEME) and Terpinen-4-ol. These molecules, along with other trace materials, contribute to the flower's characteristic metallic, green, and floral nuances. The following formulations can be used in the creation of fine fragrances, kewra attars etc.
