Home fragrance
The objective of a home fragrance is to offer a sensorial experience. The role of the fragrance is essential but must also be tested for its performance and diffusion be it for a candle, spray, reed sticks or for a spray diffuser.
Specialties
The palette of a perfumer is one of the essential sources of innovation. At Jean Niel, it is regularly enriched with quality raw materials, carefully selected, controlled at the source and transformed in our factories in Grasse. This traditional savoir-faire, preciously conserved by hemi-synthesis or the processing of raw materials, associated with modern industrial methods, helps enhance our compositions.
Natural raw materials
Jean Niel selects the finest quality raw materials.
We are committed to researching and choosing exceptional ingredients from the best sources.
This quest for excellence enables us to ensure the quality of our products and fully meet our customers’ expectations.
Derivatives
Rectification techniques (fractional distillation) enable the isolation of certain parts of natural essential oils. The manufacturing processes by hemi-synthesis are also part of Jean Niel’s recognized qualifications.
RECONSTITUTIONS / SUBSTITUTIONS
These are formulations intended to replace a natural raw material with limited availability and often high value but most of all with fluctuating price or quality.
Research & Innovation
The consumer and their requirements today are at the heart of research. To answer their product specifications and requirements, as well as their olfactory demands, our chemists work hand-in-hand with the perfumers to develop original and exclusive formulas or accords. Innovating the olfactory palette guarantees unique and personalized signatures.
Conscious Creations™
Our range redefines perfumery standards with clean, green and cruelty-free creations. It is dedicated to promoting more responsible and conscious formulation.
Each fragrance reflects our commitment to our planet, our employees, our customers and for future generations.
