Firmenich, the world\u2019s largest privately-owned fragrance and taste company, is proud to announce a new partnership with the French start-up Jungle, strengthening the Group\u2019s sustainable innovation capabilities and leadership in natural ingredients. Muguet Firgood\u2122 is the first ingredient developed through this collaboration for the luxury perfume market, and the first-ever commercial extract safely obtained from the lily of the valley flower.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The strategic partnership builds on Firmenich\u2019s pioneering Firgood\u2122 natural extraction technology and Jungle\u2019s unique capabilities in vertical farming, growing crops in vertically stacked layers for reduced land and water use. By combining their respective expertise, the partnership is designed to explore innovative and sustainable new avenues for naturals in perfumery that are respectful of natural resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The two companies have successfully developed a commercially viable product cultivated through clean and highly efficient vertical farms and extracted using Firgood\u2122, Firmenich\u2019s proprietary and revolutionary sustainable extraction technology.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The result is Muguet Firgood\u2122, a pure and 100% natural ingredient with fresh and authentic notes never obtained before. Lily of the valley is known in perfumery as one of the most iconic \u201csilent flowers\u201d, a flower that yields no essence. It is the first time in the history of perfumery that an extract of this flower has been captured with a safe and sustainable process, offering a completely new olfactory profile with genuine tonalities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur strategic partnership and joint expertise with Jungle on sustainable technologies now makes it possible for our perfumers to capture and harness the genuine natural scent of this exquisite flower to the benefit of our customers and of consumers,\u201d said Julien Firmenich, Vice President Product Strategy and Promotion. \u201cMuguet Firgood\u2122 is a truly rare and precious ingredient.\u201d<\/p>

\u201cJungle is thrilled to successfully break into the perfume industry. This project with Firmenich has strengthened our protocols and expertise in cultivating plants, in our vertical farms, for their enhanced biological activity,\u201d added Gilles Dreyfus, President and Co-founder of Jungle. \u201cWe are now well positioned to support the cosmetics and nutraceutical industries by providing safe, local and reproductible plant extracts.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Muguet Firgood\u2122 will be a captive ingredient intended for the fine fragrance market. Part of the Firgood\u2122 collection within Firmenich\u2019s Naturals Together\u2122 platform, this breakthrough ingredient is a unique and extraordinary addition to the company\u2019s creative Perfumery palette and reinforces Firmenich established leadership in naturals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Leveraging this privileged relationship going forward, Firmenich and Jungle will look to uncover other innovative and sustainable territories to shape the most exciting pipeline of exclusive naturals for the fragrance market.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
