Creativity
& how we harness it

Creativity is like a good fragrance: a harmonious composition of different ingredients. A perfect mix of intuition and ability. A sophisticated interplay of art and science.

With us, creativity is no accident. We give it space and nourishment and appreciate the fruitful exchange with our customers. For fragrance concepts in line with the market that do not just meet your expectations, but exceed them.

Product development

Creativity is not a coincidence. Creativity needs space in which to develop. It needs nourishment to be kept alive. It needs exchange so that it leads to success.

We provide our perfumers with this space. Our marketing team supplies the nourishment in the form of data, trends and information that act as both an inspiration and a guide. We walk the path to success together with our customers: by means of permanent exchange in the creative process.

This way, ideas, strategies and visions arise, which we then implement in market-driven fragrance concepts. For fine fragrances, personal care and oral care, for home care and air care. Solutions that meet consumer needs. Fragrances that not only meet expectations, but exceed them.

The scent conveys
the properties of the product

Concept development

If it smells good, the customer will buy it. A conviction as old as mankind: if a cleaner smells fresh, the spring clean will be a success; if the body lotion smells delicate and flowery, it will ensure silky-soft skin.

The scent conveys the properties of the product. This is true all over the world. However, what smells fresh for one person feels heavy for another.

We know what your consumers want. Because we analyse the competitive environment in your target markets. Because we closely monitor the developments in our industry. And because we find out what the people in your target region really like.

Ask us questions. Hear our answers. Let’s work together to design a product whose fragrance delivers on what it promises.
