British independent fragrance house, CPL Aromas, has developed a range of 100% organic fragrances fully accredited by the Soil Association, UK’s leading organic certification body, thus contributing to the expansion of available materials for brands looking to propose naturally fragranced produced.

The current globally available palette of organic raw materials is growing but is very much more restricted than a standard perfumer’s palette,” explains CPL Aromas CEO Chris Pickthall. “But the collective expertise of our UK and global perfumers has meant we have some great organic fragrances available on our library as well as an ever growing palette of raw materials to be able to create to customer briefs.

CPL Aromas says the Soil Association stringent standard is “recognised by other global bodies such as USDA and EcoCert,” thus allowing the company to offer its products to overseas markets.

Germany-based global supplier of fragrances and flavourings, Symrise, simultaneously announced the production of its first three organic fragrances would start in March 2009 as the company’s production sites in Teterboro and Branchburg (both in New Jersey) obtained USDA Organic Certification.

Last year, Symrise acquired U.S.-based Manheimer Fragrances, a manufacturer whose specialties included certified natural, organic and fair-trade fragrances.

We see tremendous opportunities for growth here,” said Roberto Ascoli, Senior Vice President Scent & Care Division Creation & Innovation at Symrise, speaking about potentialities of the US organic market.

According to Achim Daub, Global President Scent & Care at Symrise, the demand for natural and organic ingredients will continue to grow in the future: “Today’s consumers make conscious, responsible purchases and are buying more and more products made from natural, sustainable raw materials.
