Fragrance innovation

Where consumer-inspired innovation meets cutting-edge science

Delivering exceptional experiences through sensational scents

Whether we're folding laundry, preparing our home for guests, or getting ready for a big night out, the scents we experience can transform everyday activities into magical moments. At dsm-firmenich, we're continuously innovating to create scents that delight consumers, spark powerful memories, and evoke positive emotions. 

We deliver this superior performance by developing state-of-the-art technologies and fragrance design solutions. We harness synergies to maximize the potential of our innovations in harmony. And we customize our offering to make sure we meet (an exceed) consumer expectations - at every key moment and across every category. 

The art of fragrance creation, powered by science

Our innovation always starts from our deep understanding of consumers and markets around the world. Then it's time to bring progress to life by combining the essential, the desirable, and the sustainable. 

Thank to our scientists around the world, we're continuously developing new, game-changing, patented technologies and fragrance designs. In turn, we give perfumers the tools they need to create sensational scents with advanced hedonic performance - for solutions that not only meet every consumer need, but also deliver delightful moments when it matters most.

Malodor control

Unpleasant odors are a major consumer pain point. Our innovations defend against the perception of undesirable smells, creating a blank canvas for agreeable aromatic experiences. 

Enhanced well-being

We know how to bottle that special feeling - harnessing the connection between olfactory perception and emotional benefits to deliver solutions proven to enhance people's well-being.
