Understanding Biotechnology in Perfume

Biotech ingredients are fragrance molecules created in a laboratory, using plant sugars as the starting material. Living organisms such as bacteria, fungi, and yeasts are used to ferment the plant sugars into scent molecules, much like the process of making wine.

This process provides us with precision natural molecules that enhance performance and longevity. All achieved with minimal environmental impact, by keeping the supply chain small and controlled.

At the forefront of fragrance innovation, we pioneered the use of cutting-edge biotechnology.

"Biotechnology is to fragrance what EVs are to the car industry — a renewable solution that eliminates the need for fossil fuels."
