Proprietary ingredients are all about differentiation
The development of proprietary perfumery raw materials has long been the prerogative of large fragrance houses, but we have never been afraid of our biggest competitors. Consequently, we have invested significantly in terms of resources and talent to develop, produce and market our own exclusive ingredients. This program clearly differentiates Eurofragance from other perfume companies. But we also know, that if we can offer you fragrances with attractive olfactive profiles, it will help your brands distinguish themselves from the crowd. Our exclusive ingredients are also the foundation of our technologies development strategy, like malodor counteraction or mood enhancement.

Our new ingredient development philosophy
Our new ingredient development philosophy
"I feel that in order to develop new perfumery ingredients, one should primarily look to nature and be guided by how it inspires us. Natural volatile sources offer rich aromatic structures and a diversity of sensory possibilities. Nature provides intricate starting points that can be refined, reshaped or transformed into new scent expressions. I think the natural world holds many answers, but we must learn to observe it under new angles, decipher its complexity which may lead us to new olfactive experiences. My team seeks to do this while minimizing environmental impact and causing the least amount of destruction of natural resources."
