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.
