08 Nov 2022 · 09:00 CET

Givaudan, the global leader in fragrance and beauty, unveils a breakthrough evolution of its industry-leading MoodScentz™ fragrance and oral care flavours design programme. The newly upgraded MoodScentz™+ redefines our understanding of emotional experience while introducing a new neurobiology measurement capability based on extensive data mining. 

In a world where mental health has become a top priority, with 85%* of people thinking that fragrance can positively impact their mood and wellbeing, MoodScentz™+ perfectly reflects Givaudan’s ability to develop tailored solutions that respond to changing consumer needs. The upgraded platform is the result of four years of partnership with world-renowned academic leaders and a heritage of more than 35 years in neuroscience research. 

MoodScentz™+ now allows perfumers and oral care flavourists to create compositions that positively enhance emotions, covering an extensive range of positive moods: Relax & Unwind, Invigorate & Recharge, Happy & Blissful. MoodScentz™+ relies on patent-pending creative fragrance and oral care flavours design based on combinations of ingredients with specific scientific and consumer-proven mood benefits.

The revolutionary research behind MoodScentz™+ builds upon the Company’s existing neurobiology innovation:

  • Reliable mood-enhancing fragrance and oral care flavour design algorithms covering an extensive olfactive palette and supporting all product categories
  • Real-time emotional response measurement, using the novel InSituScanz™ brain-imaging capability, available worldwide 
  • Scientific validation with more than 7,000 people through a combined approach using InSituScanz™, verbal and non-verbal techniques

MoodScentz™+ enables the identification and creation of solutions to deliver a new cartography of emotions for scent and taste. By unlocking a deeper understanding of consumer needs, the upgraded platform broadens the potential for mood-enhancing across all fragranced products categories and oral care flavours. 

This ground-breaking MoodScentz™+ advance demonstrates Givaudan’s ongoing commitment to developing technologies for a brighter future, in line with the Company's purpose of ‘Creating for happier, healthier lives with love for nature’.
