Natural Isolates
Individual aromatic molecules that have been separated from a natural source, allowing perfumers to highlight specific notes found in nature.
Nature-Identical Ingredients
Molecules that also occur naturally in plants but are produced through safe synthesis. These help improve fragrance stability, reduce pressure on natural resources, and ensure consistent quality.
