Notable: same company creates both fine fragrance formulas (for luxury perfumes like Calvin Klein Eternity, Dior J'adore) AND the flavor systems in processed food. The science of 'what smells good' and 'what tastes good' is the same sensory science, practiced by the same company for perfumery and food simultaneously.

Did you know2024
Givaudan SA — the company whose flavor systems season the processed meat, snacks, and beverages consumed by billions daily — is simultaneously one of the world's largest creators of fine perfume. Givaudan's fragrance division has created the scent formulas for Calvin Klein Eternity, Dior J'adore, Giorgio Armani Acqua di Gio, and hundreds of other luxury fragrances. The same sensory science — how molecules interact with olfactory receptors — is applied identically by Givaudan's flavor scientists (making processed meat smell and taste appealing) and its perfumers (making luxury scent formulas). Givaudan's customers in the same fiscal year include Tyson Foods (industrial seasoning) and LVMH (luxury perfume).
