Superior Perfumers
Create Superior Fragrances

At our Fragrance Institute, fragrances for a wide variety of products (i.e., perfumes, cosmetics, toiletries and household products) are studied and researched. The institute constantly seeks new materials, trends and information to create new formulas. We have a vast store of know-how accumulated since our founding. Fragrance preference data from in-house and outside sources is also used to develop new fragrances. In addition to testing for substantivity and stability, etc., every measure is taken to ensure that all of our fragrances strictly comply with the safety regulations of Japan and relevant international institutions.

Formulating fragrances is delicate and precise work; a fusion of analytical data and our creative senses bringing into being new fragrances. The fragrance creators, known as "perfumers", mentally retain the features of thousands of materials, harmonized combinations of these materials called "accords" and basic simple formulations called "schemes". Perfumers undergo training over many years to become knowledgeable in the many fragrances on the market. They must also have a well developed artistic sense to construct balanced fragrances using components different in characteristics, precisely harmonized overall exactly as envisaged. Our perfumers are essential in enabling us to offer to our worldwide users superior fragrances.

New Flavor Creations
Meet Current and Future Needs

As competition in the food industry intensifies, product life cycles become shorter and shorter. On the other hand, the consumer has come to demand a wider range of products, and has become very conscious of health and safety. To meet these many, varied and changing needs, food manufacturers must promptly respond by developing and providing precisely the products demanded. Here, our flavors play a very specific indispensable role. At our Flavor Institute, by integrating our state-of-the-art techniques with data collected and analyzed on developments and trends worldwide, we are constantly developing new flavors to meet these expanding current and future needs.

These new flavors are developed and formulated by experts, known as "flavorists". Our flavorists are well experienced, knowledgeable and persevering in their search for perfection. Aware that flavors play a very decisive role in food choices, they create new flavors accurately reflecting the many subtleties in consumer tastes, based on our vast accumulation of in-house and outside data. Also important are our application and quality assurance specialists who excel in both applying and testing flavors in myriads of foods to provide our users with the quality that meets their exacting needs and to ensure their total safety in strict compliance with applicable rules, laws and regulations. Our aim is to positively contribute to the consumer's desire for a better and healthier life.
