SaniScent™: better wellbeing with the hygiene power of fragrances

Component content

At Givaudan, our mission is to create scent innovations that not only smell great, but also deliver the benefits consumers are looking for.

That’s why we are launching SaniScent™: a comprehensive technology platform for developing beautiful fragrances with hygiene-enhancing positioning.

Answering consumers’ new needs

People are purchasing more cleaning products than ever, including hand sanitisers, surface cleaners and laundry detergents. But today’s consumers don’t just want hygiene; they also want additional benefits such as environmentally friendly products with sensorial, emotional and wellbeing benefits. This requires a unique mix of innovation, perfumery expertise and scientific research.

Our new SaniScent™ platform helps customers to respond to those needs, while reflecting Givaudan’s purpose of creating for happier, healthier lives.”
