Parkim Group: Discovery Day, A Multisensory Journey

Where Fragrance, Flavour and Chemistry converge on Istanbul’s iconic Bosphorus stage

In Fall 2025, Parkim Group hosted the first Parkim Group Discovery Day in Istanbul – one of the few comprehensive events in Türkiye to unite the fragrance, flavour and chemical industries together with leading figures invited.Staged on the side of the Bosphorus, at the point where Europe and Asia meet, the event offered an immersive look into Parkim Group’s universe: fragrance compounds, captive molecules, flavours, aroma ingredients and cosmetic chemistry. Each station and presentation was designed to tell a clear innovation story.

The programme featured contributions from local retail and industry leaders and a trend keynote by WGSN, connecting macro consumer insights with the future of scent, taste and beauty. Parkim’s experts presented captive ingredients from its certified R&D centre, next-generation fragrance and flavour series, and new developments in cosmetic chemistry that combine performance, sensoriality and regulatory readiness.

Discovery Day also underlined Parkim’s cross-category strength: the ability to translate a single creative idea into fragrance, flavour and material storytelling for brands seeking coherent, multi-sensory identities.

More than a portfolio showcase, the event captured the spirit of Istanbul, Turkey itself. The Bosphorus backdrop and the meeting of continents echoed Parkim Group’s perfection-driven mindset – “perfectionist minds” – and its ambition to act as a bridge between markets, disciplines and cultures.

For many attendees, Parkim Group Discovery Day redefined how a local manufacturer can be: deeply invested in R&D and strongly connected to global trends and cross categories. For those designing the next generation of fragrance, flavour and chemistry, the message was clear: the next edition is an event not to be missed.
