๐ฟ Introduction
Kewra Absolute โ extracted from the fragrant flowers of Pandanus odoratissimus โ is one of the most mystical and exotic floral materials in natural perfumery. Its aroma is sweet, creamy, honey-floral, and slightly fruity, with delicate notes reminiscent of rose, champaca, and vanilla โ yet with a tropical, almost aquatic transparency that sets it apart.
Traditionally distilled in India for temple rituals and fine attars, Kewra represents purity, sensuality, and divine connection โ a perfect bridge between spiritual fragrance and luxurious natural perfumery.
At Herbsmetics, Kewra Absolute is presented in our Perfume & Botanical Composition Workshops in Phuket as a symbol of tropical elegance and sacred aroma, demonstrating how ancient floral distillations can inspire modern olfactory artistry.
๐ธ Aroma Profile
Top Notes: Sweet, honeyed, and lightly fruity.
Heart Notes: Creamy, narcotic floral with rosy and champaca-like nuances.
Base Nuance: Soft, balsamic, and subtly woody-vanillic.
The overall scent is warm yet airy, combining tropical opulence with meditative softness โ perfect for perfumers seeking floral depth without heaviness.
๐ Origins & Cultural Heritage
Origin: Native to India, Bangladesh, and Southeast Asia; flowers are harvested from the Pandanus odoratissimus tree, known locally as Kewra or Ketaki.
Historical Use: Kewra has been distilled for centuries in the Indian subcontinent for temple ceremonies, wedding rituals, and sacred attars. It is also used in Ayurvedic preparations and traditional Indian sweets (Kewra Jal).
Cultural Symbolism: Represents purity, divine love, and joyful devotion; mentioned in classical Sanskrit literature as an offering to gods.
Modern Application: A prized ingredient in natural perfumery, attar blending, and aromatherapy, beloved for its soothing, exotic floral depth.
โ๏ธ Production & Extraction
Method: Solvent extraction of the fragrant male flowers of Pandanus odoratissimus, yielding a deep yellow-golden viscous absolute.
Key Compounds: Phenethyl alcohol, methyl ether derivatives, and benzyl acetate โ responsible for its sweet, rosy, and creamy floral aroma.
Quality: Rich, viscous, golden absolute with long-lasting, enveloping aroma.
Distinctiveness: More complex and tenacious than Kewra Hydrosol (Kewra Water) โ the absolute captures the full-bodied, tropical floral richness that distillation alone cannot express.
๐ Benefits & Unique Advantages
In Herbsmetics Workshops, Kewra Absolute is explored as a sacred tropical note:
Use at low concentrations (typically 0.1โ1%). Avoid direct undiluted skin contact. Store tightly sealed, away from light and heat to preserve its delicate floral molecules.
