In 1983, Monique Remy created LMR in Grasse, with a vision to produce the highest quality naturals from around the world, with ethics and transparency at the core of LMR every action. Today, LMR is simply the natural signature of the greatest perfumes.

IFF Captive Molecules

IFF Captive Molecules

Modern perfumery was born towards the end of the 19th century, thanks to the discovery of groundbreaking molecules, providing perfumers with an infinite playground for scent creation. IFF made the perfume industry as we know it today, with legendary molecule signatures like Cashmeran, ISO E Super, Amber Xtreme and many more. Our ingredients portfolio continues to spearhead fragrance innovation, harnessing mindful fragrance design into ingredients processes, to minimize our environmental impact.

IFF Livings

IFF Livings

At IFF Botanical Gardens, IFF scientists study and recreate life’s

most precious moments by leveraging plant science. Their inspiration?  Our Living Flower™ Technology, first created in 1985 by Dr Braja Mookerjee, to understand living nature. Today, plants grown hydroponically, and more. Its purpose: to develop sustainable scent solutions from biodiverse plants from around the world, capturing scents of life anywhere, anytime.

IFF Science of Wellness

Over 80% of consumers around the world want more from their fragrance than a mere good smell*. The IFF Science of Wellness program, which builds on IFF’s more than forty years of research in fragrance and its impact on emotion and wellness, is designed to guide the creation of scents that support science-based consumer wellbeing, with emotional, cognitive and physical benefits. Through the combination of neuroscience and consumer perception data, a best-in-class fragrance palette, and the use of its in-house artificial intelligence tool, created in 2006, IFF perfumers design scents that can be used across all scented categories for additional consumer benefits.
