Fragrance

“Love is like a beautiful flower which I may not touch, but whose fragrance makes the garden a place of delight just the same.” Helen Keller.

The fragrance of a flower is the most beautiful thing, conveying so many messages and yet is not so elusive that it can’t be described, captured, recreated and protected.  MacTavish:West are scientific experts on flower fragrance, providing high level technical support for many of the largest producers and importers of scented fresh flowers and foliage.  We have provided support for companies developing and launching new, fragrant varieties, and for improving the marketing and promotional messages for cut flowers, pot and garden plants. 

Fragrance and perfumes are used in a wide range of personal care and home products, from candles to creams.  We can help define the fragrance required, source unusual natural fragrances and essential oils, develop formulations and novel delivery systems for encapsulating and using your fragrance.

The aroma, or scent of a moment in time can be indelibly linked into a deep seated part of your memory, linking associations such as feelings, visions and sounds.  Fragrance is thus a very important, base trigger for these recollections.  Getting the fragrance right can mean the very difference between success and failure.  Let us help you succeed.
