Givaudan launches Scentaurus™ Vanilla, consolidating the broadest collection of fragrance precursors in the industry

Givaudan, the global leader in fragrance and beauty, is thrilled to announce the extension of its fragrance precursor collection with the addition of Scentaurus™ Vanilla.

Scentaurus™ Vanilla is a non-colouring, elegant vanilla note. Naturally activated by oxygen, this high-performing new precursor delivers a wave of freshness and a long-lasting powdery, creamy vanilla effect.

Already a great success, the Givaudan Scentaurus™ range, with the addition of Scentaurus Vanilla increases creative possibilities and differentiation in the market with unique precursor combinations. These precursors maximise a fragrances’ long lastingness across many applications, allowing for the exploration of new olfactive territories and delayed impact. With 69% of consumers expressing their desire for fragrances to be long-lived because it “makes them feel fresh all day”*, Givaudan’s range of fragrance precursors creates memorable moments and evokes positive emotions, offering consumers an experience of everlasting freshness.

“Scentaurus™ Vanilla reminds me of the sweet and wholesome smell of cocoa and vanilla! It is nostalgia’s gentle dance! In a detergent fragrance, it brings softness and powdery facets without colouration – what a revolution!”

Nadia Geyken, Perfumer
