Home Care

Fragrances are closely tied to household chores

Doing the family laundry, scrubbing the floors or doing the dishes is a routine for many of your consumers, and we are of the opinion that doing such chores can be made more rewarding and enjoyable thanks to fragrances. The right scent can reassure the person doing the laundry that their clothes are perfectly clean, free of bad odors or extra soft. But perfume can also offer your consumers a welcome break by olfactively suggesting an escape to an exotic place. If you have an idea of what your product should communicate olfactively to your consumers, we are confident that our Perfumers can create the scent that will reinforce your product’s positioning.

The possibility to make meaningful claims

The Innovation to Market (ITM) team works on developing and implementing the latest innovations in both Fabric Care and Surface Care and Dishwashing products so that you can put forwards meaningful, consumer-relevant claims.  For instance, they are studying new formulations such as scent boosters and looking for technical solutions to further increase fragrance intensity.  Our scientists are also working to improve the long-lastingness of fragrances in liquid detergents, while also testing new, more sustainable capsules for fabric softeners.

Dishwashing

Dishwashing Liquid

With the right fragrance, doing the dishes is no longer a chore

Dish washing liquid products have come a long way from all smelling like a zesty lemon.  Your consumers now fully accept that a dish washing liquid can smell like aromatic herbs, juicy fruits, caring flowers or a combination of the above.

Who wants to do the dishes?  You’d be surprised by the positive response in many households.  For many of your consumers, the act of washing up after a meal is in fact a moment of relaxation and contentment.  The scents we develop for your dish washing liquids will go a long way in making this moment even more pleasurable for your brand users.  But according to your consumers’ desires, there won’t be any lingering perfume on their freshly washed vessels and dishes.  Once washed, dishes should smell of… nothing.  And, should your product range include auto dish washing tablets, be sure to reach out to us, we also have valuable know-how in this sub-segment.

Surface Care

All-purpose Cleaners

When the home must look and smell fabulous

All-purpose cleaners bring cleanliness and hygiene to your consumers’ homes.  The right fragrance will reinforce the perception of these functional benefits and, at the same time, deliver important emotional benefits.

Fragrances formulated for a bathroom spray are different than for products used to disinfect kitchen surfaces, or those diluted in a bucket to wash floors.  We also appreciate how cleaning one’s home can vary greatly from country to country.  When Mexicans clean their homes, they have different fragrance expectations than Germans do, but similar to that of a Philippine homemaker.  Such consumer insights and cultural preferences are important considerations when creating fragrances intended for your cleaning products.  The Perfumers at Eurofragance have the needed expertise—and drive—to develop the most appropriate perfume for your cleaning product, from a multi-purpose bucket mixable product to your surface specific clean-up wipe.  Regardless of the product format, at the end of the day, your consumers’ homes mut look and smell great!

Detergents

Clean and fresh smelling fabrics, an affordable indulgence

Every morning, when your homemaker’s family members leave home, their clothes carry with them the visible and olfactive signs of a flawless laundry job.  And every evening, when they slip into bed, the last thing they appreciate is immaculate, freshly scented bed sheets.

In this category where perfumes and scents play such an important functional and, above all, emotional role, the fragrance we develop for you must be right on the nose!  We understand that not all consumers are the same and that not all of them appreciate fragrance on fabrics at the same moments in time (during the wash, while ironing, out of the closet…).  Just as important is the reality that not all consumers care for their laundry the same way, or use the same format (powder, liquid, pods…).  These consumer habits and cultural nuances combined with brand expertise will guide Perfumers along the fragrance creation process of the projects you entrusted us with.

Fabric Care

Fabric Softeners

For those who love fragrance on fabrics

A fabric softener softens, but it does a lot more than that, especially when it comes to perfume enjoyment.  For those who expect their freshly washed laundry to deliver fragrance and even more fragrance, fabric softeners are the perfect format.

From an olfactive perspective this all-important Fabric Care segment can take on even more emotional significance to consumers than laundry detergents.  The teams working in our Creative Centers around the globe on fabric softeners know all the relevant insights, different cultural preferences and habits of the inamoratas of fabric softeners and fragrance.  On top of this, our technical teams have developed fragrance delivery technologies to enhance and extend the perfume experience for these demanding consumers.  At Eurofragance, we would like nothing more than the opportunity to wow you and your consumers with fragrances developed, per your brief, for your fabric softener products.  Let the fragrance games begin!

Fabric Care

Scent Boosters

For the ultimate fabric care fragrance experience

If there ever were a product format for perfume lovers looking for an even more intense and more long-lasting fragrance experience on their clothes, towels and linens, it would be scent boosters.  In liquid or solid format, scent boosters pack a perfume punch and will ensure that your consumers can enjoy their favorite fragrance days or even weeks after the laundry is done thanks to our EuroCaps® technology.  Scent boosters can be used in addition to your consumer’s favorite liquid fabric softener.  Their laundry habits and product choices will help determine the fragrances we create for you in these different applications.  

While scent boosters promise extra, long-lasting freshness, the emotional benefits they offer are just as important to the users of these products.  Our Perfumers understand that the fragrance concept your consumers seek might need to suggest mood-related feelings such as comfort, reassurance or care.  Or, it can be about providing an olfactive escape.  The professionals in our Marketing team have a range of concepts to propose that our creation teams are ready to match with the most appropriate and attractive fragrance to completely fulfill your brand users.

Fabric Care

Fabric Refreshers

The welcome solution for household fabrics

Some fabrics can be worn multiple times before washing, and some household items are hard to clean, yet consumers still want their clothes and home to stay fresh and smell great.  Fabric refreshers—most often in trigger spray formats—are the welcome solution and are ideal to remove unpleasant odors, while leaving behind a pleasant scent.  Specifically, we can offer you delightful fragrances that incorporate our odor-neutralizing EuroPure® technology.  A fabric refresher with EuroPure® will remove the stink of stale tobacco, the odor of cooked food in your curtains, the musty funk in your carpet, or the smell of sweat in your favorite sweatshirt, and do so super-fast thanks to our proprietary ingredient Verdenix®.

The idea is not only to counteract the malodor, but also to offer your consumers a fragrance that they can truly enjoy for its hedonic properties.  Our creative teams have all kinds of fragrance concepts to propose, ranging from well-known flowers, to tropical fruits to the smell of sun-dried linens.  And if your fabric refresher is formulated to offer sanitizing benefits, of course, our Perfumers will have great fragrances to propose as well.
