Symrise eyes Floral Concept to boost natural fragrance presence
Floral Concept’s portfolio includes natural fragrance ingredients derived from some of perfumery’s most valued botanicals, including jasmine, rose, orange blossom, ambrette and blackcurrant. The contemplated transaction represents a strategic milestone in accelerating Germany-based Symrise towards a leading position in premium natural fragrance ingredients, an increasingly important source of differentiation in fine perfumery creations.
“While Symrise already has a proven track record in high-performing naturals for food applications, especially since the Diana acquisition in 2014, and with our existing Naturals business for fragrances Maison Lautier 1795, we will build on Floral Concept’s capabilities and, together with our existing capabilities, establish a best-in-class Naturals platform in Grasse dedicated to fragrances,” Michael Friede, President of Symrise’s Scent & Care Segment, said in a press statement. “I am convinced this will support the continued evolution of our portfolio towards more differentiated, resilient and value-creating businesses.”
The parties expect to close the contemplated transaction in Q3 2026, subject to relevant employee information and customary closing conditions.
