Sharing innovation

Inspiring the industry

Innovation is intrinsic to who we are and what we do at dsm-firmenich Perfumery & Beauty – but don't worry; we don’t keep our creations to ourselves. We love to share our latest breakthrough innovations with the world: opening up new scent sensations for our industry, promoting more environmentally sustainable fragrances, and enabling even greater delight for consumers.

That’s why, every year, we curate and launch a distinguished selection of perfumery ingredients for customers and creators: our Sharing Innovation Collection, packed with one-of-a-kind captives. Sustainably sourced naturals. And cutting-edge biotech and synthetic solutions. 

We’re always proud to reveal the latest fruits of our long history in science-backed innovation and natural extraction expertise. But as remarkable as our Sharing Innovation ingredients are in themselves, our eagerly anticipated annual launch is about so much more. That’s because every line-up is aimed at helping our customers anticipate and overcome regulatory challenges and accelerating the transformation of perfumers’ palettes toward 100%-renewable-carbon solutions.

Introducing our 2025 Sharing Innovation Collection

Embark on a journey with the Sharing Innovation Collection 2025, where cutting-edge advancements in natural ingredients and molecules come to life. By re-inventing tradition through sustainable technologies and creative solutions, we are paving the way for a better future.

Within this collection, you will encounter two extraordinary molecules - a powerful and signature upcycled sandalwood note, alongside a radiant patchouli made from 100% biotechnology. Biotechnology, one of the most eco-friendly technologies available today, addresses the growing demand from conscious consumers seeking sustainable and positive solutions.

Exclusively designed for this range, we offer a tailor-made base that is a unique blend of ingdients, including somedsm-firmenich captives. Purposefully crafted to replace cyclamen aldehyde, this unique creation enhances synergy and highlights the expertise of our technical perfumers.

Our selection of natural ingredients underscores our commitment to modernity and innovation. We are unveiling a previous captive from our proprietary Firgood® collection, along with two Supercritical Fluid Extracts, a variety of unique and responsibly sourced ingredients. These three premium naturals are created by the expertise from our Naturals Center in Grasse, using two of the industry’s most advanced and efficient processes.

As we remain vigilant about the future of perfumery, we are committed to blazing new trails, tackling obstacles head-on and setting an example by prioritizing the planet’s well-being while adapting to the ever-changing needs of our customers.
