Nature at its purest expression
Firgood® is a first-of-its kind technology in perfumery. Movement at the molecular level releases never-before-experienced profiles of ingredients. By utilizing electromagnetic waves, water molecules vibrate to capture the heart of biomasses, some never processed until now. Our 100% natural, proprietary Firgood® ingredients reveal nature's highest design, opening infinite possibilities to the world of perfumery and taste.
“Firgood® feels like magic. We are able to capture the soul of flowers that were silent in perfumery until now. Not only this, but the final product smells exactly like the fresh flower in its natural environment, untainted by solv”
Sophie Lavoine, Principal Scientist

FIRGOOD®
A revolution in natural extraction technology
Pioneered by dsm-firmenich, Firgood® technology is a patented process that enables the processing of biomasses never previously used in the industry of natural ingredients.
This groundbreaking technology utilizes electromagnetic waves to extract the inherent water, carrying the odorant particles, of precious raw materials. The results are radically pure, 100% natural and solvent-free extracts that are good-for-the-planet. Residues can be upcycled or re-used to create new products with complimentary profiles.
We have successfully scaled-up from a lab and pilot plant to two industrial lines, offering production capacity that ranges from hundreds of kilograms to several tons of primary extracts. The development of this brand-new industrial facility in our Naturals Center of Excellence in Grasse reinforces our continued leadership in naturals.
“Our clients are delighted by these new endless olfactory possibilities, but mostly thrilled to be associated with this progress and impact on global sustainability.”
Xavier Brochet, GLOBAL HEAD OF NATURAL PRODUCT INNOVATION
The culmination of advances in sustainable extraction
Zero solvent used
Only the biomass’s cells constitutive water of the fresh biomass is used.
Dry biomasses only require water humidification
Sustainable extraction
Low energy consumption, perfectly adjusted. In addition, the waste produced is clean and can easily be upcycled, or re-used to create new products with complimentary profiles.
