Fragrance and flavor house, Firmenich launched its 2015 collection of Sharing Innovation Ingredients.
The collection of ingredients falls under three categories: signature synthetics, woody naturals and woody bases.
Signature synthetics is comprised of muscone laevo, a cornerstone of the musk palette; sclareolate, which represents a clean white floral with a clary sage aroma and polysantol, the first sandalwood molecule created by the company.
Woody naturals consists of cypriol heart, which has an earthy distinction with smoke, leather and oud hints; pepper sichuan, a kick of spice with citrus facets and cedarwood super rectified, a slightly amber noble cedarwood.
The woody bases category includes three major woody themes:
• Warm, brilliant and slightly animalic,
• Ambery with elegant benzoin notes or
• Noble and creamy, like an Indian sandalwood.
The ingredients include wood, Armenian wood and mysore wood, all of which incorporate the three themes.
“At the heart of Firmenich is our drive to constantly pioneer new extraordinary ingredients to offer unique olfactive experiences,” said Boet Brinkgreve, president, ingredient business unit, Firmenich, in a statement. “I am delighted to be opening our palette of ingredients to our clients through our Sharing Innovation program to keep on creating memorable and delightful fragrance and flavor experiences together.”
