Lilybelle by Symrise was honored with the "Best Sustainable Ingredient for Fragrance" Award at the 5th Barcelona Perfumery Congress. Symrise produces the lily of the valley scent ingredient based on D-limonene from an orange juice industry side stream.
Lilybelle is described as offering floral, lily of the valley facets, alongside ozonic-green, watery, and airy undertones.
“This award gives a testament to our dedication to sustainability and innovation,” stated Susanne Borchert, senior global marketing manager at Symrise. "We wanted to develop a special fragrance ingredient for this odor sector. It should offer sustainable aspects and serves as an alternative to traditional ingredients removed from the perfumery palette. We feel delighted that such a prestigious platform has recognized our efforts."
“This award reinforces our strategy towards sustainability in the fragrance industry,” continued Marcus Eh, Ph.D., SVP Global Marketing, Aroma Molecules Division at Symrise. “It affirms our role as a leader in innovative and environmentally conscious fragrance solutions. We remain committed to pioneering products that meet and exceed industry standards for sustainability and performance.”
