Unparalleled dsm-firmenich Signature and Captive ingredients set the stage for Sharing Innovation

This collection features six natural and synthetic dsm-firmenich signatures, including two newly released to the market captives, plus ingredients offering regulatory solutions for sustainable formulations.

The naturals collection highlights an upcycled Cardamom sourced through our leading partner in Latin America, that we created with our Supercritical Fluid Extraction technology, as well as our Ambrette FIRABS, a unique blend created from a co-distillation of precious ingredients.

The synthetics category is a range of competitive and modern edge muguet notes and Doremox® and Cyclopidene, both floral notes that help tackle upcoming regulatory restrictions.
