The artistry of our perfumers interprets fashion moments into fragrance appeal. Our perfumery team is the largest in the industry. Our talents extend across three business areas: Fine Fragrances, Consumer Products and Fragrance Ingredients.
Iconic household and personal care products are fragranced with the same dedication as designer brands. Their scents uplifting everyday tasks, communicating freshness, cleanliness, softness, calmness or relaxation. We are the olfactive translators.
Our Perfumery School has trained so many perfumers that we are proud to be able to say that our graduates are responsible for approximately one third of the prestige fragrances that exist in the world today.
The insights from our expert scientific teams colour our perspective: we study the genetics of olfaction, molecular modeling of fragrance and sensory psychology to ensure that the fragrances we create are impactful.
We operate across both developed and developing markets, bringing our artistry, knowledge, drive for discovery and operational performance to brands worldwide. We are passionate about people, products and the perception of fragrance – everywhere.
Fine Fragrances
Givaudan has a distinguished fragrance heritage, having created many perfume classics, best sellers and industry award winners throughout a history that spans over a century.
Fine fragrance perfumery is the art that is at the heart of our business. Translating the aspirations and glamour of prestige, designer and celebrity brands into fragrance requires an olfactive artist. Givaudan combines the artist with expert market and consumer understanding to create fragrances with sustainable appeal.
Exquisite ingredients, natural and synthetic, inspire our perfumers so our sourcing programmes are dedicated to finding the very best. We are passionate about preserving the craft we have inherited.
The fine fragrance studios are in the fashion centres of Paris and New York, as well as in São Paulo. The teams here work with fashion houses, beauty companies, fashion designers, celebrities, lifestyle brands, and specialty retailers. Trend connoisseurs translate the moment into a fragrance. Givaudan's perfumery team is the largest in the industry and continues to grow via the renown Givaudan Perfumery School, where aspiring perfumers experience a one-of-a-kind apprenticeship and clients and journalists are tutored.
Consumer Products
Givaudan fragrances can be experienced in the top brands of shampoos, soaps, deodorants, body lotions, candles, air fresheners, laundry detergents and fabric softeners in every major region in the world.
Fragrance plays a key role in all personal and home care products. The intuitive human relationship with smell means that fragrance is a vital part of all brand communication, whether reassuring softness or conveying freshness and hygiene messages.
The 'right' fragrance in even the most functional product will enhance the user experience; even polishing can become less of a chore when the action fills a room with scent – making the task much more satisfying. Our global teams connect in a powerful web of creativity, technical expertise and consumer insight that produces fragrance for winning brands.
Fragrance Ingredients
Givaudan's Fragrance Ingredients business manufactures and markets the building blocks from which our perfumers, and the industry beyond, create distinctive, performing fragrances.
Most of the materials are patented specialty ingredients that were first developed by Givaudan's own fragrance research centres. They cover the entire olfactive range and address the technical challenges of all product categories.
