The art and chemistry of scent, from raw materials to the finished bottle.
Ask any cosmetic chemist: formulating stable, non-sensitising citrus top notes is an absolute nightmare. Cold-pressed citrus oils and natural terpenes like *d*-limonene or citral break down almost instantly when expos...
Every cosmetic chemist knows the frustration of formulating clean scents. You load a top note with bright citrus, crisp aldehydes, or ozonic accords to give consumers that instant flash of shower-fresh hygiene. But wi...
Formulating high-payload, ethanol-free fine fragrances usually forces a compromise between thermodynamic stability and skin-feel. Drop ethanol from a formula, and chemists typically face a grim choice: accept cloudy e...

By August 2026, India’s Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation (CDSCO) will enforce mandatory extended labeling for 81 fragrance allergens, aligning directly with the EU 2023/1545 directive. The strict enforcemen...
With 40 million monthly active users searching for specific notes, accords, and ingredients, Fragrantica is one of the most underutilised demand intelligence tools available to Indian fragrance procurement and formulation teams.
Commission Regulation (EU) 2023/1545 comes into force on 31 July 2026, expanding the list of fragrance allergens that must be declared individually on cosmetic labels. For R&D, regulatory, and procurement teams — including Indian exporters to EU markets — this is a formulation documentation exercise, not just a label update.
