About Perfumery & Beauty
Formed as a result of the merger that created dsm-firmenich, Perfumery & Beauty (P&B) is a new integrated Business Unit, composed of the combination of: Perfumery, Ingredients, and Personal Care. P&B has a strong reputation in perfumery, supported by its major ingredients backbone, including a leading position in renewables and naturals and an industry-leading creation palette orchestrated by an exceptional team of perfumers.
Key priorities for P&B include green chemistry (scientific processes that respect planetary limits), conscious perfumery (the creation of sustainable fragrances and scents), and consumer-inspired innovation that delivers superior performance.
Achieving these priorities requires a combination of human creativity (on the part of our team of perfumers, scientists, and researchers, among others) and implementation of the latest scientific insights.
We place our perfumers at the heart of our creative innovation drive while providing them with the latest ingredients, technologies, and artificial intelligence tools, as well as the most recent insights from neuroscience and behavioral sciences. With this blend of capabilities, our perfumers can augment their creations, push the boundaries of performance, and develop solutions that meet our customers’ continually evolving needs and promote holistic well-being in consumers of their products.
