Flavors & Fragrances are an important part of all Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG) products. Despite constituting less than 1% of a product’s volume, fragrances contribute up to 30% of its total cost of production. Fragrances are instrumental in creating a distinct product association with the consumers.

The Value Chain:
Petrochemicals & Natural extracts from a Pine Tree + Strong Chemistry Skills -> Aroma Chemicals (Generic & Specialty: Intermediates) -> Fragrance & Flavor (F&F) Formulations -> CPG companies [Globally]
Even though Natural fragrances are perceived to be safe, healthier and therapeutic.

The answer lies in a pear, the fruit. When we eat or taste a pear, the pear’s texture & taste is only 3-4 types, like salty, bitter, etc. Can’t this be replicated? For sure it can, so what differentiates a pear from a pineapple: It’s smell/aroma.
Adding to this, 60-70% of identical raw materials & similar kind of product development also add to the synergies.
