Collaborations and acquisitions enhance the company’s portfolio of aroma products; Phoenix Flavors and Fragrances previously acquired Innovative Fragrances, a supplier for personal care and various aroma-based products.

Fragrances see further enhancement when combined with tech as beauty giant L’Oréal partnered with bio-informatics and technology company Emotiv to create a headset device for helping consumers create personalized fragrances to match their mood.
