About fragrance

Fra­gran­ce is part of every­day life — pre­sent in pro­ducts we use, moments we che­rish, and cul­tu­res across the world. But beyond scent alo­ne, fra­gran­ce is crafts­manship, scien­ce, tra­di­tion, and innovation.

A global story of culture and craftsmanship

Fra­gran­ce ingre­dients are sour­ced from around the world, con­nec­ting far­mers, scien­tists, per­fu­mers, manu­fac­tu­rers, and con­su­mers. Each bottle or pro­duct is the result of colla­bo­ra­tion across con­ti­nents and cul­tu­res — blen­ding natu­re, tech­no­logy, and artistry.

What is a fragrance?

Fra­gran­ce is craf­ted through a meticu­lous pro­cess blen­ding scien­ce and artistry. Whether through natu­ral extrac­tion or synthe­tic crea­tion, ski­lled per­fu­mers blend ingre­dients to com­po­se cap­ti­va­ting scents.
