Parfum / Aroma (Fragrance / Flavor)

Parfum / Aroma refers to a composition of aromatic materials—such as essential oils, aroma isolates, and fragrance/flavor compounds—used in cosmetic formulations to impart a characteristic scent and/or taste profile, depending on the product type. “Parfum” is most commonly used in skin, hair, and body care to create an olfactive signature (fresh, floral, woody, spicy, gourmand, etc.) and elevate the sensorial experience, while “Aroma” is frequently used in oral care and lip products to deliver a pleasant flavor perception and help mask base-material notes. These blends are engineered for performance in the specific formula matrix (e.g., solubility, stability, diffusion, and longevity) and may be supported by solubilizers, stabilizers, or encapsulation systems to optimize release and consumer experience. Parfum / Aroma is widely used across creams, serums, cleansers, shampoos, body products, toothpastes, mouthwashes, and lip care, typically at low use levels and formulated in line with applicable safety guidelines and labeling requirements, including the declaration of regulated fragrance allergens where required.
