Quality Control
Superb Raw Materials to Create Superb Fragrances
To produce outstanding fragrances for your brands, we only source ingredients that match or exceed your expectations for highest quality standards. The Quality Control team also ensures at a global level that the raw materials we acquire meet the requirements of our creative teams.
When perfumery ingredients arrive at any one of our production plants, we are the first to stick our nose in the shipment. We analyze batches of incoming materials against internally approved benchmarks and strict specifications of conformity. Quality Control Means Being Involved From Beginning to End The Quality Control team is concerned with entering raw materials as well as with the transformed products that leave our production facilities. Members of the team must confirm that our finished products conform to set specifications. You are welcome to request any of the documents pertaining to your projects.

Regulatory Affairs
Out of the Box Thinking Is Part of Our DNA at Eurofragance, Except When It Comes to Regulations
Health and safety are of paramount importance when it comes to the handling and usage of raw materials. In particular, the Regulatory Affairs department is concerned with making products safe which comply with different legislations across the planet.
This requires from us an in-depth understanding of the legislation concerning the natural and synthetic ingredients used in perfumery. The department constantly stays up to date on the appropriate legislation and restrictions that can vary significantly from market to market. In particular, we follow the recommendations IFRA Code of Practice (the International Fragrance Association), and the local legislation of the countries in which we operate. (Note: Eurofragance is an active member of AEFAA, the Spanish Association of manufacturers of Fragrance and Flavors, which is a member of IFRA.)Keeping Internal and External Partners Informed Is Serious BusinessWe disseminate important regulatory announcements to our community members. Four times a year, we issue a newsletter that relates the latest chemical restrictions to colleagues and clients around the globe. Day-to-day, we also support and keep informed Perfumers and Fragrance Development Managers as well as the commercial teams of Eurofragance. Our internal experts can, if you desire, conduct training sessions or seminars on your premises.

Formula Management
Our Formulas Are Our Treasure
Behind every fragrance we create is, first off, a Perfumer, and then its formula that he or she has established as its “official recipe.” Because we understand the intrinsic value of these formulas, we treat them as treasures.
In addition to these precious fragrance creation guidelines, the Formula Management team also manages the repertoire of formulas for our own product bases. Formulas, however, are not always set-in stone and it is up to our team of experts to notify Perfumers on the necessity to change any of its components.As legislation and safety rules change, so do our formulas. The Formula Management team is instrumental in facilitating the replacement or inclusion of new ingredients in the Perfumers’ palette.
