Our approach to innovation
Our approach to innovation
“As we continue to grow, we are implementing new ways of working to better anticipate the needs of our customers. We have gone from being reactive, to proactively proposing science-based innovations—often stemming from our captive development program. While we continue to develop R&D solutions, we have brought in applied research teams (ITMs) that bridge fundamental research and new market expectations. This allows us to bring together delightful fragrances and new product benefits to set your products apart in your consumers’ eyes… and nose. This new philosophy is being applied across our regions and for all product categories.”
Olivier Anthony, Ph.D.
Global Research and Innovation Director
What we enable with fragrance technologies
A fundamental understanding of fragrance performance
With your consumers in mind, and based on mid to long-term market trends, our R&D Scientists focus on upstream research to develop new technologies, mechanisms, formulations and proprietary ingredients. For you, this means early access to innovative ideas that can immediately be considered for your projects whether it relates to fragrance intensity, performance, bloom or malodor counteraction. R&D also develops captive ingredients, our latest being Olivante®, which allows your brands to stand out from your competitors.
Applied research and the Sensolab
Our Applied Research team, Innovation to Market (ITM) focuses on how to integrate and implement R&D-developed technologies. These scientists understand how your product works, how it is formulated, and how its fragrance performance and sustainability characteristics can be enhanced with our technologies, ingredients and capabilities.
Sensolab is the platform name covering ITM’s Innovation through formulation science. It proposes ways to make your product even more enjoyable for consumers. They approach your product from a multisensorial angle, considering how it looks, how it feels on skin or how it reacts in contact with other elements, such as water. They might, for instance, propose a waterless formula, less packaging or a higher concentration to be less wasteful and more environmentally friendly.
Eco-friendly and user-friendly technologies
In everything we do, we strive to minimize our environmental impact. Just like you, we are conscious of the overuse of raw materials, the ecological footprint of products and the effects of manufacturing on our planet. Our stated corporate objective is to apply a sustainability philosophy in all our projects, and this certainly includes the development of our fragrance technologies and captives. In addition to being more environmentally friendly, our innovations strive to be more user-friendly to integrate into your manufacturing process. We want to offer you real-life solutions that are as green and efficient as possible.

What’s That Smell? Counteracting Malodors to Restore a Sense of Serenity
We’ve all been there. We’ve stepped into a room that reeks of stale cigarette smoke. Prepared a dish with garlic and onions, and not been able to wash off their stubborn smell from our fingertips. Felt embarrassed by leaving the bathroom not smelling at its best. There are many types of unpleasant smells, and they…
