We have created a multifaceted modular program, EmotiOn, to help our customers develop perfect product mixes.”
Our in-house experts have designed the EmotiOn program to offer an integrated approach to designing fragranced products that delight billions of consumers globally with positive emotions. Our suite of solutions includes:

EmotiClaim™ delivers the best emotional positioning for a specific country and category to ensure a product resonates with consumers.
-
Emoti360™ uses consumer insights to match ingredients and colors with emotional benefits to reinforce value in product design.

EmotiBoost™ is a collection of accords that have positive emotional benefits created for three different categories (air care, laundry and skin cleansing) covering a wide olfactive spectrum and a variety of emotional claims. They were tested using patented implicit research techniques.
Fimenich’s approach is unique as each of its tools and solutions can be combined to work together in a holistic manner.
“Our research and investment in emotions and how they drive purchasing habits, particularly throughout the pandemic, is distinctive and truly global in its approach,” said Matteo Magnani, Chief Consumer & Innovation Officer. “Our EmotiOn program provides in-depth insights from 11 countries to craft fragrances that bring positive emotions to their consumers and to help our customers boost their claims with consumer validation.”
Anchored in 25 years of research together with distinguished scientific partners and universities, the EmotiOn program is based on cutting-edge neuroscientific research. Combined with deep consumer insights, Firmenich can create meaningful emotional stories through products.
