Fragrances: Key takeaways from the 2023 edition of SIMPPAR

Held on May 31 - June 01, the latest edition of SIMPPAR (the International Exhibition of Raw Materials for Perfumery), closed its doors with a record number of 3,346 visitors, including 464 perfumers. With 110 exhibitors from 24 countries, SIMPPAR 2023 was a great event for the perfumery world and a great time to smell with peers. Let’s explore my wow-highlights of the latest innovation and "oh-so-good-oldies" ingredients that where showcased.

Naturality in all its forms

New green extraction technologies with novel olfactive renditions of classic natural ingredients.
Carefully-sourced and/or upcycled naturals or bio-based white chemistry / fermentation matching the consumers’ expectations for more respectful production.

Alternatives for restricted ingredients & endangered species

A lot of alternatives for muguet replacers from different fragrance houses.
Bio-based solutions for endangered natural ingredients or vegan replacers.

Impactful synthetic ingredients

In the Ambery, Woody and Musky spaces (trending) but also classic Floral / Green / Fruity palette ingredients restaged to help designing cost-effective and environmentally-conscious new fragrances.

Some surprises

The show was also the occasion of a couple of "coup-de-coeur".
