The combination of Aptar’s global scale and iD SCENT’s unique capabilities will further enable collaboration on sustainability actions and objectives with our customers. iD SCENT’s offerings are made of paper which helps promote recycling.

Maxime Caffon and Julie Naso, Co-Executive Directors of the company, added, “Since its creation, iD SCENT has been developing innovations aimed to reduce the environmental impact of fragrance sampling while staying true to our family values. We were convinced from the start that, even if a sample is by definition a one-time usage, we could make it more durable. We are proud to have succeeded in meeting our challenge, as a result of our family complementarity and a close collaboration with our entire team! We are delighted to with the integration with Aptar because of the commercial and industrial power, coupled with our know-how, which will enable us to faster serve the global need for more sustainable sampling solutions."
