Technological Advantage

The creativity of IFF's perfumers and fragrance evaluators is enhanced by strong research and development. From IFF's pioneering headspace technologies to our hydroponic greenhouse, IFF's scientists use a wide range of proprietary technologies. These technologies capture the essences of living flowers and transform them into new molecules that expand the palettes of our perfumers and provide our customers with unique and unusual fragrances. In addition, IFF works with customers to help design new products that bring innovative, appealing fragrance delivery to consumers' homes.

The introduction of synthetic ingredients has allowed perfumers to become the rivals of nature, inventing smells that didn¡¯t exist before. In this way, perfume became a pure creation of the spirit and, as such and under certain circumstances, could aspire to being considered a form of art." Celine Barel

Nectarate™

"...presents pleasant fruity notes, more lactonic such as peach, apricot, prunela, damascone and hints of pineapple perfectly contrasted with a slight woody undertone (dry pencil shaving cedarwood) and balsamic notes (cinnamic)," Francisco Marano

Timbersilk™

"...has good strength and gives a boost to products, especially beauty care products. It pushes and supports the other notes and provides really good texture," Chiaki Nomura

Trisamber®

"...has a unique woody, amber character. It gives strength and lift to a fragrance, especially in a masculine fragrance. It is very clean and transparent adding personality and character to the fragrance. It goes particularly well with cedarwood notes," Clement Gavarry
